Dokotala wa maso anati mayi amene anamva kuti “ali ndi kanthu m’diso mwake” anaika magalasi 23 olumikizirana omwe amaikidwa pansi pa zikope zake.
Dokotala Katerina Kurteeva wa bungwe la California Ophthalmological Association ku Newport Beach, California, adadabwa kupeza gulu la anthu omwe adalumikizana nawo ndipo "adayenera kuwapereka" mu mlandu womwe udalembedwa patsamba lake la Instagram mwezi watha.
"Ine ndinadabwa. Ndimaganiza kuti zinali zopusa pang'ono. Sindinawonepo izi kale," anatero Kurteeva TODAY. "Zokhudza zonse zimabisika pansi pa chivindikiro cha mulu wa makeke, titero kunena kwake."
Dokotalayo anati wodwala wazaka 70, yemwe sanapemphe dzina lake, wakhala akuvala ma contact lens kwa zaka 30. Pa Seputembala 12, anabwera kwa Kurteeva akudandaula za kumva thupi lachilendo m'diso lake lamanja ndikuwona ntchofu m'diso limenelo. Wapita ku chipatala kale, koma Kurteeva akumuwona koyamba kuyambira pomwe adapatsidwa ofesi chaka chatha. Mayiyo sanali ndi nthawi yocheza nthawi zonse chifukwa choopa kutenga COVID-19.
Kurteeva anayamba wayang'ana maso ake kuti apeze zilonda za corneal kapena conjunctivitis. Anayang'ananso nsidze, mascara, ubweya wa ziweto, kapena zinthu zina zomwe zingayambitse kumva thupi lachilendo, koma sanaone chilichonse pa cornea yake yakumanja. Anaona kutuluka kwa mucous.
Mayiyo anati atakweza chikope chake, anaona kuti pali chinthu chakuda pamenepo, koma sanathe kuchitulutsa, choncho Kurdieva anatembenuza chivindikirocho ndi zala zake kuti aone. Koma madokotala sanapeze chilichonse.
Pamenepo ndi pomwe dokotala wa maso adagwiritsa ntchito chipangizo choyezera maso (eyelid speculum), chida cha waya chomwe chimalola kuti zikope za mkazi zitsegulidwe ndikukankhira pakati kuti manja ake akhale omasuka kuti ayang'aniridwe bwino. Anabayidwanso jakisoni wa mankhwala oletsa ululu a macular. Atayang'ana mosamala pansi pa zikope zake, adawona kuti zokumana nazo zoyambirira zinali zitagwirizana. Anazitulutsa ndi thonje, koma zinali zongotuluka pang'ono chabe.
Kurteeva anapempha wothandizira wake kuti ajambule zithunzi ndi makanema a zomwe zinachitika pamene iye ankakoka zolumikizana ndi thonje.
“Zinali ngati bolodi la makadi,” akukumbukira Kurteeva. “Zinafalikira pang'ono ndipo zinapanga unyolo pang'ono pa chivindikiro chake. Nditatero, ndinamuuza kuti, “Ndikuganiza kuti ndachotsa ena 10.” “Anangopitirizabe kubwera ndi kupita.”
Atawalekanitsa mosamala ndi zopukutira zodzikongoletsera, madokotala adapeza kuti m'disomo munali zinthu 23 zomwe zinakhudza disolo. Kurteeva anati anatsuka diso la wodwalayo, koma mwamwayi mayiyo sanali ndi matenda - koma anali ndi kuyabwa pang'ono komwe kunachiritsidwa ndi madontho oletsa kutupa - ndipo zonse zinali bwino.
Ndipotu, izi si nkhani yoopsa kwambiri. Mu 2017, madokotala aku Britain adapeza ma contact lens 27 m'maso mwa mayi wazaka 67 yemwe ankaganiza kuti maso ouma ndi ukalamba zimamupangitsa kukwiya, malinga ndi lipoti la Optometry Today. Anali kuvala ma contact lens pamwezi kwa zaka 35. Nkhaniyi yalembedwa mu BMJ.
"Kukhudzana kawiri m'diso limodzi n'kofala, katatu kapena kuposerapo n'kosowa kwambiri," Dr. Jeff Petty, katswiri wa maso ku Salt Lake City, Utah, adauza American Academy of Ophthalmology za wodwala wina wa mu 2017.
Wodwala Kurteeva adamuuza kuti sakudziwa momwe zinachitikira, koma madokotala anali ndi malingaliro angapo. Iye adati mayiyo mwina ankaganiza kuti akuchotsa magalasiwo powasuntha pambali, koma sanatero, amangobisala pansi pa chikope chapamwamba.
Matumba omwe ali pansi pa zikope, omwe amadziwika kuti vaults, ndi ovuta kuwamvetsa: “Palibe chomwe chingafike kumbuyo kwa diso lanu popanda kukokedwa ndipo sichingalowe muubongo wanu,” akutero Kurteeva.
Mwa wodwala wina wokalamba, chipinda chosungiramo zinthu chinakhala chakuya kwambiri, iye anati, zomwe zimagwirizana ndi kusintha kwa maso ndi nkhope komwe kumachitika chifukwa cha ukalamba, komanso momwe mayendedwe amacheperachepera, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti maso agwe. Lenzi yolumikizirana inali yakuya kwambiri komanso kutali ndi cornea (gawo lodziwika bwino la diso) kotero kuti mayiyo sakanatha kumva kutupa mpaka atakula kwambiri.
Iye anawonjezera kuti anthu omwe amavala ma contact lens kwa zaka zambiri amataya mphamvu zina ku cornea, kotero chimenecho chingakhale chifukwa china chomwe sangamve mabalawo.
Kurteeva anati mayiyo “amakonda kuvala magalasi olumikizana” ndipo akufuna kupitiriza kuwagwiritsa ntchito. Posachedwapa adawona odwala ndipo adati akumva bwino.
Nkhaniyi ndi chikumbutso chabwino chovala ma contact lens. Nthawi zonse muzisamba m'manja musanagwiritse ntchito ma contact lens, ndipo ngati mukuvala ma contact lens tsiku lililonse, gwirizanitsani chisamaliro cha maso ndi chisamaliro cha mano tsiku ndi tsiku - chotsani ma contact lens mukamatsuka mano anu kuti musaiwale, akutero Kurteeva.
