4 common eye changes in pregnant women

　　Due to the great changes in the endocrine system after pregnancy, the corneal tissue of pregnant mothers will have mild edema, which will increase the thickness of the cornea. At the same time, the amount of tear secretion in pregnant mothers is less than usual, the mucus content increases, and the curvature of the cornea will also change, which can easily cause corneal damage and cause serious complications. Eye There is a foreign body sensation, friction, etc. Common eye changes during pregnancy include:

　　decreased vision

　　Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy can cause vision impairment. If you are already short-sighted, the condition may be slightly aggravated after pregnancy and you may find that your glasses no longer fit properly. Postpartum As female hormone levels drop, vision returns to normal. It should be reminded that too much vision change may be a symptom of diabetes and high blood pressure, so do not take it lightly.

　　Countermeasure: Go regularly every month Hospital Do a routine check-up. If you find that your vision has declined significantly, you should ask your doctor to do a urine glucose test for you. If your previous glasses no longer fit, don't make do with them, and don't throw them away casually (because they will come in handy again after the baby is born). Temporarily wearing a pair of comfortable "maternity glasses" is also a special souvenir.

　　Refractive error

　　The curvature of the cornea becomes steeper during pregnancy, resulting in mild refractive errors that become more pronounced toward the end of pregnancy. As a result, it can lead to hyperopia, weakened ciliary muscle adjustment ability, and blurred vision of near objects, which is one of these situations. If myopia is originally present, the myopia degree of the eye will increase at this time.

　　Countermeasures: This abnormal phenomenon usually returns to normal 5-6 weeks after delivery. Therefore, if the pregnant mother develops hyperopia or myopia at this time, she does not need to replace her glasses first. She can try them more than one month after delivery, so that the degree will be relatively accurate. 》》》  Six types of pregnant women who should not drink milk
