Anter

• Nā ʻōuli a me nā kumu nui
• Pehea e hana ai i ka lāʻau

ʻO ka makapō o ka pō, ʻike ʻepekema ʻia ʻo nictalopia, ka paʻakikī e ʻike ai i nā wahi kukui liʻiliʻi, e like me ka mea i ka pō, ke ʻeleʻele loa. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i nā poʻe me kēia maʻi ke loaʻa ka hihiʻo maʻamau i ka lā.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole ka makapō ka pō i kahi maʻi, akā kahi hōʻailona a i ʻole ka pilikia o kekahi pilikia ʻē aʻe, e like me xerophthalmia, cataract, glaucoma a i ʻole diabetic retinopathy. No laila, he mea nui mau ke nīnau aku i ka ophthalmologist e loiloi i ke kū ʻana o kahi maʻi maka ʻē aʻe a hoʻomaka i ka lāʻau kūpono.

No laila, hiki ke hoʻōla i ka makapō o ka pō, ke kaukaʻi ʻia i kāna kumu, keu hoʻi ke hoʻomaka wikiwiki ʻia a no ke kumu kūpono.

Nā ʻōuli a me nā kumu nui

ʻO ka hōʻailona nui o ka makapō ʻana o ka pō ka paʻakikī e ʻike i nā wahi pōuliuli, keu hoʻi i ka hele ʻana mai kahi ākea a i kahi pouli, e like me ke komo ʻana i ka hale a i ka wā o ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā. No laila, ʻo ka poʻe me ka makapō ʻole i mālama ʻia i ka pō e pono e hōʻalo i ka hoʻokele ma ka hopena o ke ao a i ʻole i ka pō, e hōʻoia i ko lākou palekana.

Hana ʻia kēia paʻakikī i ka ʻike ʻana ke hōʻemi ʻia nā pae o nā pigment i nā receptor retinal, i ʻike ʻia ʻo rhodopsin, e pā ana i ka hiki i ka maka ke hana i nā mea i ka mālamalama haʻahaʻa.

Hoʻopili pinepine ʻia kēia mau mea loaʻa e ka nele o ka wikamina A, ka mea e kumu ai ka xerophthalmia, akā hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia i nā hihia o nā maʻi ʻē aʻe e like me glaucoma, retinopathy, myopia a i ʻole retinitis pigmentosa.

E aʻo hou e pili ana pehea e ʻike ai a mālama ai i ka xerophthalmia.

Pehea e hana ai i ka lāʻau

ʻO ka mālama ʻana i ka makapō o ka pō e pili ana i ke kumu o ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā receptor retina. No laila, ʻo kekahi o nā ʻenehana i hoʻohana nui ʻia e komo pū me:

• Nā aniani a me nā aniani kūkā: hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā hihia o myopia e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka ʻike;
• Kulu ka maka: ʻae e kāohi i ke kaomi i ka maka i nā hihia o glaucoma, hoʻomaikaʻi i nā ʻōuli;
• Pākuʻi A Vitamin: paipai ʻia i nā hihia o xerophthalmia ma muli o ka lawa ʻole o ka wikamina A;
• ʻOki kino: hoʻohana ākea e mālama i nā cataract i ka poʻe kahiko a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻike.

Eia hou, inā ʻike ʻia kekahi maʻi retina ʻē aʻe, hiki i ke kauka ke kauoha hou aku i nā hoʻokolohua e like me ka tomography optical a i ʻole ultrasound e hōʻoia i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka lāʻau, a ʻoi aku paha ka lōʻihi.
