Guo Jingjing had an operation.

Some medical experts pointed out that countless dives will cause the impact of water flow on the head, especially for fragile eyes. The impact on the retina will not only cause vision loss, but also lead to blindness. Many divers have eye diseases, including Guo Jingjing who had eye surgery.

200 1 65438+2 At the end of February, the diving team conducted an annual routine eye examination, and Guo Jingjing's right eye was found to have a slight retinal detachment. The next day, she was admitted to the hospital. On the third day, she underwent surgery to reduce tears in her right eye. "At that time, the operation was very successful, but I was scared before the operation, and then it was particularly painful. It has been hurting for two weeks, which makes me very hurt. " Recalling that "painful" experience, Guo Jingjing still felt scared. The operation forced Guo Jingjing to "go ashore" and rest for two months.

Two years later, the doctor found that her left eye was not good either, which was a congenital retinal variation. Fortunately, in the reexamination at the end of 2004, the doctor told Guo Jingjing that her right eye healed well and her left eye did not affect her movements.

Guo Jingjing's naked eye vision is only 0.2, and she usually wears a pair of glasses. When diving, she could hardly feel it. "I can't see clearly standing on the springboard. All by feeling. " Guo Jingjing said, "I've been dancing this routine for 10 years, and I'm still quite sure."

Guo Jingjing disagreed with the statement that diving is harmful to the eyes: "I think this statement is not completely correct, because many athletes have been diving all their lives and their eyes are fine. There is no problem in Fu Mingxia and Xiong Ni. "

Guo Jingjing's teammate Wang Feng also told reporters that there was nothing wrong with his eyes. "This kind of thing varies from person to person."

Sports medicine experts:

Retinal injury is an occupational disease of diving.

Dr. Xie Qing

Operate on Jingjing.

Dr. Lin Shunchao, who will operate on Guo Jingjing, is the head of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He ran for NPC deputies for two consecutive years and made suggestions on medical service and system reform. Lin Shunchao has been actively participating in charity work in the Mainland for many years. He was elected as an "outstanding youth" in Hong Kong and won the "Hong Kong Humanitarian Year Award" in 2007. He has performed eye surgery for NPC deputies Zhang Minyi, Zeng Yucheng and Mrs. Chen Youqing. He is one of the most famous ophthalmologists in Hong Kong. comprehensive

Eager to be a coach after retirement.

Although suffering from eye diseases for many years, Guo Jingjing is still unwilling to set foot on her beloved springboard. When she visited Macao for an interview, she also confided: "I don't know when I will retire. If I really retire, it is my long-cherished wish to stay in the pool and train new people. In the future, I should continue to do diving related things. "

In fact, in September last year, Guo Jingjing became the deputy director of the swimming and diving sports management center in her hometown of Hebei Province. In this Beijing Olympic Games, Guo Jingjing won two gold medals in the 3m springboard singles and doubles, with excellent results. She has been promoted to director and can be a diving coach at any time. Next year, Guo Jingjing will also represent Hebei team in the 11th National Games held in Shandong. Whether to be a housewife, coach or continue diving after that depends on her own choice. comprehensive

Why does diving cause retinal detachment? Will Guo Jingjing really be blind? Do we usually have such dangers when diving? Yesterday, our reporter interviewed Wang Yu, a professor of sports medicine at Chengdu Institute of Physical Education, a famous sports medicine research school. He believes: "Retinal detachment is an occupational disease in diving practice, but Guo Jingjing's retinal rupture is an example."

Question 1: Why does diving cause retinal detachment?

Interpretation: This is because when athletes are like water, the water flow has a great influence on their eyes. "Conjunctiva, cornea, retina, lens and vitreous will all have obvious effects," Professor Wang explained. "Especially at the moment of entering the water, the water pressure will cause a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. If the water entry angle is wrong, the retina of your eyes is fragile, which may cause retinal detachment. " Professor Wang believes that this is an occupational disease of diving, "just like silicosis in coal mines." In order to ensure the correct action, divers must open their eyes when entering the water, which will put more pressure on their eyes. "

Question 2: How likely is Guo Jingjing to be blind?

Interpretation: Professor Wang believes that the hype about Guo Jingjing's blindness is a bit of a fuss. "The degree of retinal detachment varies greatly, and the most serious may lead to blindness. However, everyone's situation is different, and the specific situation depends on the patient. As far as Guo Jingjing is concerned, the relative pressure of her three-meter board is not as high as that of the ten-meter board, and the danger is not so great. She has had surgery before, and obviously the national team knows her details. Since she can appear in the Olympic Games, it should be based on her health. "

Question 3: Can such sports injuries be avoided?

Interpretation: "According to my experience in sports medicine for so many years, there is no one who is not injured in competitive sports." Professor Wang replied that "higher, faster and stronger" means breaking through the limits of the human body, and injuries are inevitable. In fact, every athlete has injuries, but stars like Guo Jingjing and Liu Xiang are more likely to cause a sensation. "Professor Wang revealed that injury control is a science." An athlete has been practicing for four years, and it is nothing to retire at a critical time. Only grades can change everything. So our sports medicine doctor often finds a balance for these players. When they are injured, they can participate in the competition within their physical endurance. However, Professor Wang also suggested: "The higher the height, the greater the pressure on the eyes." . If possible, I suggest not to compete with 10 meter platform and 3 meter board at all, but only with 1 meter board, so that the damage to divers' eyes will be greatly reduced. "

Question 4: Can ordinary people play "Zhamengzi" and cause retinal damage?

Interpretation: Professor Wang didn't say that when ordinary people swim and dive in swimming pools or rivers, they can rest assured: "Ordinary people don't dive as long as athletes. It takes many years of practice, and the damage in one hour is very low, so it basically has no effect. "
