4 The Villager Leakesville Voice a Letter from the administrator 5 new Year s Resolutions to a healthier You It s that time of year again! Following through on New Year s resolutions is always easier said than done, but we re here to help you see them through! Here are five tips to being a healthier you in Shellie Brewer, RN, LNHA Administrator LOSE WEiGHT This seems to be the No. 1 New Year s resolution around the country, and yet we struggle to stick to it all too often. Whether it s portion control, exercise or just eating healthier in general, it s time to focus on being good to your body and overall health! QuiT SMOKiNG We can t say it enough if you smoke, quit NOW. The long-term effects of smoking are devastating to your health. There are several different methods you can use to fight the urge to smoke. Not only will your body thank you when you quit, your wallet will be grateful, too! MANAGE STRESS A little pressure now and then won t kill us; in fact, short bouts of stress give us an energy boost. But if stress is chronic, it can increase your risk of or worsen insomnia, depression, obesity, heart disease and more. CuT BACK ON ALCOHOL Drinking alcohol in excess affects the brain s neurotransmitters and can increase the risk of depression, memory loss or even seizures. Chronic heavy drinking boosts your risk of liver and heart disease, hypertension, stroke, mental deterioration and even cancers of the mouth, throat, liver and breast. GET MORE SLEEP Getting a good night s sleep is critical to your health. A lack of sleep has been linked to a greater risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Sleep is also crucial for strengthening memories. So don t feel guilty about taking the occasional nap! For more information on health-related New Year s resolutions, visit Have a happy New Year!

5 December 2013 January 2015 From the Desk of the medical Director : Diagnosing and Treating Glaucoma Glaucoma is not just one eye disease, but a group of eye conditions resulting in optic nerve damage, which may cause loss of vision. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. Kevin O Hea, MD, Medical Director Glaucoma can damage your vision so gradually you may not notice any loss of vision until the disease is at an advanced stage. The most common type of glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, has no noticeable signs or symptoms except gradual vision loss. Early diagnosis and treatment can minimize or prevent optic nerve damage and limit glaucomarelated vision loss. It s important to get your eyes examined regularly, and make sure your eye doctor measures your intraocular pressure. SYMPTOMS Primary open-angle glaucoma signs and symptoms include: Gradual loss of peripheral vision, usually in both eyes Tunnel vision in the advanced stages Acute angle-closure glaucoma signs and symptoms include: Eye pain Nausea and vomiting (accompanying the severe eye pain) Sudden onset of visual disturbance, often in low light Blurred vision Halos around lights Reddening of the eye WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR Don t wait for noticeable eye problems. Regular eye exams are the key to detecting glaucoma early enough to successfully treat your condition and prevent further progression of your condition. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends a comprehensive eye exam for all adults starting at age 40, and every three to five years after that if you don t have any glaucoma risk factors. If you have other risk factors or you re older than age 60, you should be screened every one to two years. If you re African-American, your doctor likely will recommend periodic eye exams starting between ages 20 and 39. If you experience some or several of the symptoms of acute angle-closure glaucoma together, seek immediate care at an emergency room or at an eye doctor s (ophthalmologist s) office right away. TREATMENT The goal of glaucoma treatment is to lower pressure in your eye (intraocular pressure). To treat your condition, doctors may lower your eye pressure, improve drainage of fluid in your eye or lower the amount of fluid produced in your eye. Glaucoma can t be cured, and damage caused by the disease can t be reversed, but treatment and regular checkups can prevent vision loss in people with early-stage glaucoma. If vision loss has already occurred, treatment can slow or prevent further vision loss. For more information on glaucoma, visit Page 5
