How to judge the symptoms need to consult Xi'an ophthalmologist?
The eye is one of the important sense organs of the human body, and any problems related to the eye deserve attention. When some eye symptoms occur, you should consider consulting Xi'an ophthalmologist. The following will elaborate on which symptoms need to be treated in time from four aspects.
1. Abnormal vision
Vision problem is one of the most noticeable eye symptoms. The following are several abnormal vision conditions that need to be treated in time:
First, sudden blurring or narrowing of the vision may indicate impaired vision. This may be a sign of refractive changes, such as myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism. In this case, even if glasses or contact lenses are worn, the vision is still blurred.
Second, night vision loss is another symptom that requires consultation with a doctor. If you are difficult to identify objects at night or in a dark environment, or the surrounding objects show blurred or distorted vision, you may be accompanied by night blindness.
Finally, if you find that your eyes gradually lose their vision, or there is sudden darkness, flash in front of your eyes, or even a string of pairs of floaters, this may be a retinal problem, such as retinal detachment or retinal displacement.
2. Eye pain and secretion
Eye pain and secretions are usually common symptoms of eye diseases. The following are some situations that require consultation with a doctor:
First, if you feel itching, burning or tingling in your eyes, it may be caused by allergy, dry eye, conjunctivitis or keratitis.
Secondly, if the eyes are red, swollen, shed too many tears or have secretions, it may be conjunctivitis, keratitis, dacryocystitis or stylosoma.
Finally, if you feel eye pain, especially accompanied by headache, facial pain or loss of vision, please see a doctor in time, because this may be glaucoma caused by increased eyeball pressure.
3. Eye trauma and foreign body sensation
Eye trauma and foreign body sensation are common ophthalmic problems. The following are some situations that require consultation with a doctor:
First of all, if your eyes suffer from serious trauma or impact, there may be eye fractures, eye lacerations, etc. This requires urgent treatment to prevent further damage.
Secondly, if you feel a foreign object in your eyes, such as sand, dust or other small objects, you may have fallen into your eyes. Please do not rub your eyes, as it may scratch your cornea. Timely treatment can avoid potential infection or further trauma.
Finally, if your eyes have sudden vision problems, drooping eyelids, double vision or abnormal eye movements, it may be caused by orbital fracture, paralysis of extraocular muscles or injury of ophthalmic nerve.
4. Eye appearance and eyelid problems
In addition to the above symptoms, the appearance of the eyes and eyelid problems also need to consult a doctor:
First of all, if your eyes suddenly become concave or protruding, it may be that there is something abnormal in the eye socket, such as thyroid ophthalmopathy. Timely inspection helps to understand the seriousness of the problem.
Secondly, if your eyelid is swollen, bleeding or discolored, it may be caused by eyelid infection, abnormal eyelid growth (such as tumor), eyelid inflammation or trauma. Doctors can provide accurate diagnosis and treatment suggestions.
Finally, if your eyelashes fall off obviously or grow abnormally, it may be caused by ciliary folliculitis, the sequelae of cataract surgery or other eye diseases. Timely treatment can avoid further complications.
To sum up, in case of vision problems, eye pain and secretions, eye trauma and foreign body sensation, eye appearance and eyelid problems, you should timely consult Xi'an ophthalmologist for proper treatment and precautions.
