緑内障(Glaucoma)

私の眼はすでに８回も手術を受けています。左目角膜移植１回、右目角膜移植２回、右目は白内障１回、右目緑内障３回、右目網膜剥離１回でごうけいが８回になりました。網膜剥離は今年の３月でした。最近右目の眼圧が上昇傾向にあり心配です。緑内障の手術というのは眼の中の房水を外に出して眼圧を下げるために眼球に穴を開けるようなものです。従って眼の立場からすれば一種の傷なので人間に限らず動物の体は自然治癒の力によってこの房水の逃げ道がまた塞がってしまうわけです。すでに過去３回の緑内障の手術はこのためなのです。３回目の手術から２年半が経過したのでまた眼圧が上昇の傾向になり心配です。右目はすでに視野が半分以下になっています。中には長い期間維持できる人もいるようなので４回目はもっと先に延ばせるといいのですが！！
しばらくは眼科に頻繁に通って様子を見ることになります。でもまあ！まだＳＡＸの楽譜が読めるからいいか！！！

I have already experienced eight times of eye surgeries. Onece a cornea transplantation, two times cornea transplantation, cataract surgery for one time, three times of glaucoma suregery and finally a surgery of detachment of the retina on my rightside eye.The surgery of the galaucoma is just on ly to make a discharge passage for liquid produced in the eye ball to reduce the pressure in the eye ball. This passage made in the eye ball is a kind of a injury for the eye ball therefore this injury would be healed naturally due to the character having every creatures not only human beings but all the animal kinds.This is why I had three times galaucoma surgeries in the past.It has already passsed two years and half then the pressure is gradually increasing so I am much anxious for the pressure.The visual field of rightside eye has already shrinked more than half so I hope to have the surgery for four times must be done in a very long time later. I must vist ophthalmology for ver often to care my eye. But now I can read the musical note and enjoy the Saxophone.
