The relationship between styloma and vision

Cereal swelling, also known as staphyloma, is a common eye disease, usually caused by staphylococcal infection of the upper or lower eyelids. So, will style affect vision? Next, we will elaborate from several aspects.

Symptoms caused by infection

Wheat swelling is caused by bacterial infection. Common symptoms include eyelid swelling, redness, swelling, pain, local temperature rise, etc. Symptoms during infection may have an impact on vision. The swelling of the eyes will block the transmission of light, resulting in eye deformity, which will affect the focus of light. In addition, due to pain and discomfort, patients may have limited eye movement, resulting in blurred vision, which will also affect vision to a certain extent.

If the symptoms are mild, timely and reasonable treatment from the hospital can usually alleviate the symptoms and protect the vision from further damage.

Influence during treatment

For patients with severe symptoms of stylosoma, surgery is usually required in the hospital. Anesthetics, cutting operations, pain drugs, etc. during the operation will produce certain irritation to the eyes and surrounding tissues, which may cause discomfort to the eyes and temporary decline in vision.

The recovery period after surgery is also the period when vision is affected. After surgery, the eyes need to be kept clean to avoid infection. Antibiotic eye drops or ointment should be used according to the doctor's advice. These drugs themselves may also have a certain impact on vision. Postoperative rest and lifestyle adjustment, such as avoiding strenuous exercise and reducing eye use time, will also play a positive role in protecting vision.

In general, after proper treatment and recovery period, the vision of patients with styloma surgery will not be affected for a long time.

Possibility of complications

If the styloma is not properly treated in time or there are problems in the treatment process, some complications may occur, which will have a more serious impact on vision.

The most common complication is corneal ulcer. Due to the existence of styloma, eyelid swelling and pressure will lead to corneal involvement, forming ulcers. Corneal ulcer can cause eyeball pain, foreign body sensation, tears, vision loss and other symptoms, which may lead to corneal rupture or even blindness in serious cases.

Other possible complications include infection of lacrimal passage, entropion of eyelid, etc. These complications may have a negative impact on vision.
