The Dhaka Times Desk From children to old people, this disease can affect any person. However, if there is an additional physical risk, the chances of contracting the disease are also high.
Among these symptoms dry eyes, red eyes, irritation or continuous watery eyes - these symptoms may be alert. However, glaucoma attacks the eye without any symptoms.
Doctors said, if this disease is not diagnosed at the right time, the eyesight can be completely lost. Many people feel that this type of problem is aggravated by looking at too much mobile, laptop or computer. But more research is needed to be sure about that.
What is glaucoma?
The part of the eye through which the fluid flows, when the path is blocked, it starts to accumulate in one place. Because of this, additional pressure is also created on the optic nerve of the eye. This is called 'intraocular pressure'. As the pressure increases, the eyesight gradually becomes weak. Which later leads to blindness. In case of glaucoma, at the very beginning, the patient's 'side vision', i.e. the ability to see the side objects, is also lost. It is completely normal for excess fluid to build up around the eyes. The damage starts from there. So if one starts to get blurred 'side vision', one should seek urgent medical advice without delay. The reason is that if there is a delay, the complications may increase.
What can cure glaucoma?
In fact, glaucoma is a disease that cannot be completely cured. Even if treatment is started after it is diagnosed, there is still a risk of vision loss in 10 percent of cases. From children to old people, this disease can affect any person. However, if there is an additional physical risk, the chances of contracting the disease are higher. For example, if someone has glaucoma in the family, someone has a history of diabetes or high blood pressure, one should be more careful. This is especially true for those who take steroids, inhalers, etc. Even if there is a serious injury or injury to the eye, glaucoma can attack many times. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
