文献提示,压力可能在急性闭角型青光眼的沉淀中起一定作用,因为患者的情绪状态会影响眼压。本研究根据已知的心理生理应激与IOP升高之间的可能关系来考虑这一证据。两个共同的线索贯穿了这些观察。首先是提示压力是急性闭角型青光眼病因的重要因素。二是越来越多的人怀疑压力在开角型青光眼中的作用。有证据表明青光眼的诱发与心理生理应激有关。心身因素在解剖角度狭窄的眼睛中加速闭角和睁眼的IOP升高中的作用已在文献中得到注意。这意味着应力减少可能会阻止闭角和降低IOP。获得这些结果的建议方法包括生物反馈、冥想和放松练习。
The literature suggests that stress may play a part in the precipitation of acute closed-angle glaucoma because intraocular pressure (IOP) can be affected by th emotional state of the patient. This study considers this evidence in light of what is known concerning the possible relations between psychophysiological stress and elevated IOP. Two common threads run through these observations. The first is the suggestion that stress is a significant factor in the etiology of acute closed-angle glaucoma. The second is a growing suspicion concerning the role of stress in open-angle glaucoma. There is some evidence that glaucoma induction is associated with psychophysiological stress. The role of psychosomatic factors in precipitating angle closure in eyes with an anatomically narrow angle and in raising the IOP in eyes with open angles has been noted in the literature. The implication is that stress reduction might prevent angle closure and reduce the IOP. Suggested methods for achieving these results include biofeedback, meditation, and relaxation exercises.
