I. Pain and Discomfort
Intolerable severe pain: If you experience severe pain in your eyes, it may be caused by problems such as scratches on the surface of the eye, foreign body invasion, or corneal inflammation. This pain is often sudden and unbearable, and you should seek immediate medical attention and avoid rubbing your eyes to avoid worsening the injury.
Eye strain, eye pain: These symptoms may be related to eye diseases such as glaucoma. Glaucoma is a serious blinding eye disease that, if left untreated, can lead to permanent vision loss. Therefore, if you experience symptoms such as eye strain or pain, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
II. Vision Problems
1. Sudden vision loss: If you suddenly experience vision loss, it may be caused by diseases such as retinal detachment, cataracts, or glaucoma. These diseases can all have a serious impact on vision, even leading to blindness. Therefore, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment to prevent further damage to your vision.
2. Blurred vision in both eyes: If you experience blurred vision in both eyes recently, it may be due to changes in refractive power, such as an increase in myopia or the onset of presbyopia. In addition, some eye diseases such as uveitis can also cause blurred vision. At this time, you need to go to an ophthalmologist for correct vision correction or treatment.
III. Redness and Inflammation
1. Eye redness and swelling: Redness and swelling of the eyes may be caused by conjunctivitis, corneal inflammation, or dacryocystitis. These inflammations are often accompanied by symptoms such as eye congestion and increased secretions. Although you can gently rinse your eyes with clean warm water, do not rub your eyes to avoid worsening the symptoms. If redness and swelling persist or are accompanied by symptoms such as blurred vision, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
2. Eyelid redness and swelling: Eyelid redness and swelling may be a manifestation of blepharitis, usually accompanied by pain, itching, and scaling. At this time, you should avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands and seek medical treatment promptly.
IV. Foreign Body Sensation and Discomfort
1. Foreign body invasion: If a foreign body enters the eye, do not rub your eyes. Try to keep your eyes stable, rinse your eyes with saline, and seek medical attention as soon as possible. A foreign body remaining in the eye for a long time may lead to infection or more serious damage.
2. Dry and uncomfortable eyes: Prolonged use of electronic devices such as computers and mobile phones may cause dry and uncomfortable eyes. Although you can maintain appropriate eye rest time, use eye drops to relieve dry symptoms, and adjust the environmental humidity, if symptoms continue to worsen or are accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, such as blurred vision, you should seek medical attention promptly.
V. Other Abnormal Symptoms
1. Photophobia, tearing: These symptoms may be related to eye diseases such as keratitis and glaucoma. When the eyes are stimulated by strong light, photophobia occurs; when the eyes are stimulated by inflammation or foreign bodies, tearing may occur. The appearance of these symptoms suggests that we need to seek medical examination in time.
2. Black shadows obscuring vision: Diseases such as retinal detachment may cause black shadows to obscure vision. The appearance of this symptom often means that the retina has undergone partial or complete detachment. If not treated promptly, it may lead to permanent vision loss.
When any eye discomfort occurs, we should pay enough attention. Timely medical examination can not only help us to find and treat eye diseases in time, but also effectively protect our vision health. In daily life, we should also develop good eye habits, avoid prolonged excessive eye use and contact with harmful substances, etc., to prevent the occurrence of eye diseases.
Eyes are our window to appreciate the world, allowing us to experience the richness of life and discover its beauty. However, with the acceleration of the pace of life and the popularization of electronic products, our eyes are facing unprecedented challenges. Therefore, protecting our eyes and preventing myopia is particularly important.
