Question
After long-term late-night phone use, vision blurring occurs. Could this be a symptom of glaucoma?
Answer
The typical symptoms of glaucoma usually include high intraocular pressure, corneal epithelial edema, and may be accompanied by migraines and nausea. Additionally, patients may experience halos around lights when looking at them. If none of these symptoms are present, one should not easily conclude that they have glaucoma. However, long-term use of phones in dark environments can indeed increase the risk of developing glaucoma. If concerned, it is recommended to visit an ophthalmologist for a dark room stimulation test and visual field examination, as well as an eye fundus examination. It is important to cultivate good living habits and a healthy diet in daily life.
