What eye symptoms need attention?
As one of the important sensory organs in our daily life, the eye needs our adequate attention and protection. However, we often ignore some seemingly unimportant eye symptoms, which may lead to some serious eye problems. Under the guidance of Dr. Qiu Xuan from Sun Yat sen Ophthalmology University, let's find out which eye symptoms need our attention.
1. Blurred vision
Blurred vision is one of the most common eye problems. If we find that our vision begins to blur or lose focus, we need to pay attention to it. Blurred vision may be caused by ametropia, fundus diseases, etc. Timely medical treatment and ophthalmic examination can help us understand the specific causes and take appropriate treatment measures to protect our vision.
In addition, age is also one of the reasons for blurred vision. As we grow older, our lenses gradually harden, leading to an increase in myopia, which requires us to check our eyes regularly to maintain good vision.
If blurred vision is accompanied by other symptoms, such as eye pain, redness, tears, etc., it is more necessary to seek medical attention in time to eliminate the possibility of serious eye disease.
2. Eye pain and burning sensation
Eye pain and burning sensation are another kind of eye symptoms that we need to pay attention to. Eye pain may be the manifestation of ocular surface inflammation, keratitis, stylosoma and other diseases. The burning sensation may be a symptom of dry eye disease and conjunctivitis.
If we feel eye pain and burning sensation for a long time, or these symptoms are accompanied by decreased vision, congestion and increased secretion, it may be that there are some diseases in the eyes, and we need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
In addition, it should be noted that eye pain and burning sensation may also be caused by our long-term gaze at the electronic screen. Therefore, we should pay attention to controlling the time of using electronic products and give our eyes proper rest.
3. Abnormal eye secretions
The abnormal secretion of the eye is also one of the eye symptoms that we need to pay attention to. Normally, tears are an important material to keep eyes moist, but when we find abnormal eye secretion, we need to be alert.
If we have too many or dry tears, increased conjunctival secretions, thick eye excrement, etc., it may be that there are some infections, inflammation and other problems in the eyes. Timely medical treatment is very important to avoid further aggravation of the disease.
It is worth mentioning that for people who use contact lenses, if they find excessive or dry tears, foreign body sensation, eye redness, pain and other symptoms, they may be caused by improper wearing of contact lenses, and need to adjust the wearing method in time.
4. Black pupil discoloration or other abnormalities
Black pupil is one of the most important structures in our eyes, and its color is usually uniform and stable. However, if we find that the pupil begins to change color or other abnormalities, such as spots, turbidity, redness, etc., we need to pay great attention.
There are many reasons for the abnormal color of black pupil, which may be caused by heredity, inflammation, drug reaction, etc. If the black pupil discoloration is accompanied by vision decline, pain, astigmatism and other symptoms, it is necessary to seek medical advice as soon as possible and take appropriate treatment measures.
In a word, we need to pay enough attention to eye symptoms, whether they are blurred vision, eye pain and burning sensation, abnormal eye secretions or black pupil discoloration. Regular eye examinations and timely medical treatment can help us find and treat eye problems early and protect our vision.
Dr. Qiu Xuan of Sun Yat sen Ophthalmology University reminded us that eyes are the windows of the body. To protect eyes is to protect your health and quality of life.
