When we get up in the morning, the human body is dry and lack of water, the air is also lack of water, and eye excrement will increase. Many people will attribute it to the climate. In fact, it is not necessarily because of the bad weather. Some human diseases can also cause more eye droppings. The following is the reason why I sorted out more eye excrement. I hope I can help you.
How are eye secretions formed?
There is a tissue called "eyelid" inside the eye. It is located near the eyelashes at the edge of the eye.
When the tarsal plate secretes this substance during the day, it protects the eyes. At night, we need to close our eyes and rest. The secretions secreted by the eyelids will gather near the eyelashes, mix with dust and tears, and then become eye secretions. It can be said that it is a substance secreted by the normal body.
Causes of eye droppings
1. Eye irritation. If the eyes are stimulated by eyelashes, dust, strong light, high temperature, often staying up late and radiation, it will lead to eye fatigue and increase more eyelid secretions.
2. Eye disease, if the eyes have conjunctivitis, trachoma and other diseases. Not only increased eye excrement, but also accompanied by tears, redness, congestion, itching and other phenomena.
3. Eye allergy, eye allergy, pruritus, fever, swelling and pain, increased tears, common allergies, original mites, smoke, volatile gases and animal hair.
4. The nasolacrimal duct is blocked. Under normal circumstances, the tears of the lacrimal gland need to enter the nasal cavity through the lacrimal dots, lacrimal canaliculi and nasolacrimal duct of the lower eyelid. If the lacrimal passage and nasolacrimal duct are blocked, tears will accumulate in dacryocystitis, causing dacryocystitis, resulting in more tears and more eye excrement.
Solutions for different types of secretions
1. Foam secretion
If the secretion is like a bubble, it may be a feature of dry eye or a state of infection with a pathogenic bacterium, such as a highly pathogenic bacterium.
Coping methods: in case of pathogenic bacteria due to illness, wipe the eyelids with a clean towel, clean the eyes with clean water, and use antibiotics under the guidance of doctors; Dry eye can use artificial tears, preservative free eye drops to relieve discomfort and form the habit of blinking often. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables and increasing the intake of vitamins A, B1, C and E can also prevent symptoms such as corneal dryness and dry eye.
2. Watery secretion
Eye secretions, like clear water, become thinner and are suspected of viral infection. If nasal mucosa and conjunctiva are infected during a cold, it will lead to an increase in reflex secretions. Due to the hypoplasia of nasal bone, some children may have inner canthus with eyelids, which often cause eye irritation and more water secretion. Abnormal eyelids in the elderly, such as entropion and ectropion, will also increase the secretion of water samples.
Countermeasures: in case of virus infection, antiviral drugs should be used under the guidance of doctors, pay attention to rest, do not go out to expose too much sunlight, and avoid virus recurrence caused by ultraviolet rays or bacteria in the air. If the secretion of water samples increases in children and the elderly, they should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in time to check whether there are abnormal eyelids, entropion and other symptoms, and the doctor should decide whether to operate.
3. Purulent yellow and white secretion
This eye secretion is thick and slightly yellowish. It is common for bacterial infections, such as Staphylococcus, which may be a symptom of chronic allergic conjunctivitis.
Countermeasures: in addition to using antibiotic eye drops, pay attention to personal hygiene. Wash your hands frequently with clean water. Do not rub your eyes with your hands, especially the wearer of contact lenses. Pay attention to cleaning when wearing glasses.
4. Mucus secretion
It often occurs in patients with acute allergic conjunctivitis. It is characterized by thick white filamentous substances, similar to commonly used glue, and may also be accompanied by foreign body sensation and eye itching. Especially for children, when they wake up in the morning, children often say that they can pull the silk out of their eyes, usually viscous secretion.
Coping methods: for patients with more secretions, normal saline can be used to flush the conjunctival sac, and a variety of antibiotic eye drops can be selected according to different pathogens. Treatment should be timely and thorough to prevent recurrence.
How to prevent eye excrement
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that too much eye droppings is the cause of heat in the liver meridian, stagnation of liver qi and deficiency and fire in the body. Therefore, using appropriate traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the body, paying attention to diet and not eating spicy, dry and hot food will help to reduce the production of eye droppings.
In addition, we should pay attention to eye hygiene and don't let our eyes get too tired. Every time, we can gently touch the corners of our eyes with our fingers to see if there is any accumulation of eye excrement. If so, we can wipe it off with a paper towel to maintain a good image. If the eye excrement secretes too much for a long time, and there is pus and blood; If it becomes watery or viscous, it may be an eye disease. We should go to the hospital for examination in order to take corresponding treatment measures.
If it is due to the increase of eye droppings caused by fire, it is OK to eat more vegetables and fruits and drink more water. You can also often drink chrysanthemum and Qi tea, which can have a good prevention and treatment effect. In addition, we should also prevent eye diseases in the office, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and try not to face the computer for a long time. After working for one or two hours, you can have a proper rest and see some green plants to relax your eyes. Don't get too close to the computer when using it. If the eyes feel dry and uncomfortable, blink as much as possible to reduce the evaporation of water in the eyes.
It can be said that too much eye excrement is a signal of eye inflammation. If there is too much eye excrement, it should be checked and treated in time.
