With myopia, the size of the eyeball increases, it retracts, becomes thin, and holes can even appear in it. And in principle, it can appear at any time, but specifically pregnancy only increases this risk. More precisely, not even pregnancy, and childbirth. After all during childbirth a woman has to push, and all muscles, including facial muscles, and eye muscles are straining. And the eyeball of the woman in childbirth simply tears, exfoliates. As a result, vision can be catastrophically reduced, sometimes up to blindness. It is enough only during the entire pregnancy to monitor the condition of the retina and, perhaps, the doctor will give you permission to give birth naturally. Therefore, if you have one of these three diseases in the medical chart, then you must take yourself seriously to visit an oculist.
What to do if the retina exfoliates
Everything is not so gloomy and hopeless, and with a retinal retina medicine can fight. Even on the stage of pregnancy. This is not a very complicated operation, it is called "laser coagulation" - prophylactic strengthening of the retina. Where the retina departs, it seems to be "welded" to the cornea. Do this operation only with the help of a laser. But if this trouble happens, when you are already waiting for the baby, the doctor can prescribe this laser coagulation and during pregnancy. As a rule, this operation is performed until the 30th week of pregnancy. If during pregnancy, observed in the oculist, then during childbirth in near-sighted women may experience complications: detachment of the vitreous. The vitreous humor, a jelly-like substance, lies between the lens and the retina. It exfoliates both with the aging of the body, and as a result of excessive loads on the eyes and strong myopia. It appears as black flies before the eyes, lightning flashes and narrowing of the visual vision, thin sclera, it seems to bulge like a hernia and leads to other complications in the eyes. Thinning of the choroid and retina, a reduction in the number of capillaries that feed the eye. All this can lead to hemorrhage into the eye and as a result to a partial loss of vision.
Intolerance to contact lenses
Many future mothers switch to glasses due to the fact that during pregnancy they can not wear lenses at all: eyes blush, hurt, "dry up". This is due to the fact that during pregnancy, the sensitivity of the cornea decreases, hence all these troubles. So, while waiting for the baby will have to give up contact lenses and ask the doctor to prescribe eye drops to you. It is not necessary to prescribe to itself drops - only the doctor knows, what will help or assist with your case and will not harm the future child.
Progressing myopia
It happens that during pregnancy vision begins to fall. If it changes to tenths of diopters, then, most likely, nothing terrible. Perhaps this is due to the general burden on all organs and cardinally vision and will not change after delivery.
Excessive fragility and vasospasms
This is revealed when examining the fundus. The most important rule is to carefully observe the ophthalmologist and not neglect the examinations. In a future mother, a doctor should not only determine visual acuity, but also explore the intraocular bottom. Minimize work on the computer, do not abuse the TV. Try to reduce the maximum burden on the eyes. Enroll in the school of expectant mothers to learn how to push right during childbirth. After all, the right attempts - this is a guarantee that you will avoid problems with vision. Myopia of mild degree and pregnancy - things are incompatible, so be sure to heal this ailment.
