My Nurse Girlfriend Looks Soft And Cure? But Each Stab She Makes Avoids Their Vital Points

Chapter 22: I’m Taking Notes Like Crazy!

“I can’t believe it! We, as intelligent human beings, are not as knowledgeable about health as a dog?”

“Oh, well…” After listening to Lu Ming’s explanation, Li Xuejing felt mixed emotions.

“It’s quite normal. This is the primal instinct of animals,” Lu Ming explained.

“Due to various factors, humans have lost some of their primal instincts, but occasionally, there are individuals who are naturally knowledgeable about various herbs and have retained their primal instincts.”

Many things are “use it or lose it.” If you don’t use something or a particular instinct for a long time, nature assumes you don’t need it to survive and eliminates it during the evolutionary process.

To illustrate with a simple example, if you remain sedentary without using your legs, your leg muscles will weaken, and eventually, you won’t be able to walk, leading to paralysis.

“So, besides getting sunlight exposure, what else should I do?” Wang Jieqiong asked. She now had a lot of trust in Lu Ming and was willing to follow his advice.

“Besides getting sun exposure, the remaining steps involve adjusting your daily routine and addressing unhealthy habits,” Lu Ming continued. “You’re currently facing a serious issue.”

“Your eyes might be at risk of going blind!” When Lu Ming said this, it hit Wang Jieqiong like a shock.

What? My eyes are at risk of going blind? This can’t be a joke, right?

Wang Jieqiong thought her vision was pretty good because most people around her wore glasses, but she didn’t.

“Why would my eyes be at risk of going blind?” Wang Jieqiong asked in confusion.

“Do you sometimes feel your eyes are sore or swollen? Do things suddenly become blurry at times, especially when looking at small point sources of light, causing colorful halos-like glare?” Lu Ming asked three specific questions.

After hearing Lu Ming’s questions, Wang Jieqiong thought back carefully.

Yes, she did experience these sensations at times. She nodded, saying, “Yes, sometimes I have those feelings.”

“So, these are signs of glaucoma,” Lu Ming explained.

“Glaucoma?”

“How could I have glaucoma?” Wang Jieqiong asked.

“Because,” Lu Ming continued, “when you use your phone at night, you don’t turn on the lights.”

Wang Jieqiong took a deep breath. He even knew about her habit of using the phone without turning on the lights. If it weren’t for the fact that she had never interacted with Lu Ming before, she would have suspected that he had installed surveillance in her room!

The live stream chat was once again buzzing with reactions.

“Judging by the expression on the streamer’s friend’s face, it seems like this young doctor hit the mark?”

“Oh my goodness! This is fortune-telling instead of a medical consultation! How can he even know about private matters like using the phone without lights?”

“So, there are truly no secrets in front of traditional Chinese medicine?”

“But why does it cause glaucoma? I also use my phone in the dark at night, which is scary!”

“Doctor, are you saying that the early signs of glaucoma are because I use my phone in the dark at night?” Wang Jieqiong had heard the term “glaucoma” but didn’t know its specific meaning.

“That’s correct,” Lu Ming nodded and began to explain. “Firstly, when your eyes are focused on a smartphone screen for extended periods, the blinking frequency decreases involuntarily. This can lead to eye strain and increase the risk of developing glaucoma.”

“Blinking helps clean and moisten the eyeballs, so a reduced blink rate can lead to dryness and discomfort in the eyes.”

“The second thing is that under dim lighting conditions, your pupils dilate for extended periods,” Lu Ming continued.

“This can lead to a narrowing of the angle in the eye, blocking the circulation pathway for the aqueous humor within the eye.”

“When the aqueous humor can’t drain properly, it accumulates, increasing intraocular pressure and ultimately triggering glaucoma.”

“Glaucoma is characterized by elevated and intermittent or sustained intraocular pressure. It is also one of the three leading causes of human blindness!”

“Blindness is a real possibility!”

“Ah?”

“So, am I in a very serious condition right now?” After listening to Lu Ming’s explanation, Wang Jieqiong was frightened to the core.

Blindness? That would be devastating. Surviving in society as a blind person was incredibly challenging. Even in big cities with tactile paving, these paths were often occupied by bicycles, electric scooters, and cars. One wrong step could lead to tripping and injuries.

“Your condition is not severe,” Lu Ming reassured her. “With ongoing care for your eyes, you can stabilize your current condition.”

Wang Jieqiong was puzzled and asked, “What do you mean by ‘stabilize my current condition’?”

“Because glaucoma is an irreversible disease, you can only control it, not completely cure it,” Lu Ming explained. “So, if you want your eyes to return to their peak condition, that’s impossible.

This also means that the seed of this disease has already been planted. If you don’t take good care of your eyes in the future, that seed might sprout, and you could face the possibility of becoming blind.”

Glaucoma, like many eye conditions, inflicts permanent damage to the eyes. That’s why protecting your eyes is so crucial.

“I understand, I understand. I’ll take good care of my eyes in the future!” Wang Jieqiong didn’t want to lose her eyesight in the later years of her life. She vowed never to use her phone without proper lighting again.

“By the way, let me remind you,” Lu Ming added.

“Don’t use your phone in strong light, especially direct sunlight. It can also harm your eyes. The combination of the blue light from your phone and the ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause significant damage to your eyes.”

“It’s a form of photochemical damage that can ultimately lead to damage to the retina’s cell layer and even the development of holes.”

Wang Jieqiong nodded. I should avoid using my phone in extremely bright and dim lighting.

Lu Ming felt relieved; it seemed that Wang Jieqiong had taken everything to heart. On the side, Li Xuejing was rapidly tapping away on her phone; she was taking notes! Even many viewers in the livestream opened their phone’s notepad.

“I told you, watching this live stream can be educational!”

“Educational about what? Say it again?”

“Knowledge, I typed it wrong.”

“Emphasize: First, choose a suitable weight blanket, preferably around 7 kilograms; Second, get regular sun exposure, and if you’re not sure how to observe your dog at home; Third, avoid using your phone in strong light and dim conditions.”

“Wow! Thanks, class representative!”

“Thanks, class representative +1.”

“Thanks, class representative +2.”

“Thanks, class representative +3.”

“I’m just copying and pasting! Crazy note-taking!”
