Still Annoyed With Eye Strain, Pink Eyes or Drowsiness?

Don't you agree that eyes play a great roll in creating impressions?

I've tired of hearing so many people suffer from various eye problems such as....

■eyestrain ....causes dull eyes.
■dry eyes ...deprive glint in your eyes.
■pink eyes ... look unhealthy.
■dark circles under eyes ... look tired.

Do any of these sound familiar?

Red Eye

An eye becomes red when the conjunctival vessels are engorged. There are many, many causes of a red eye (not a complete list, only to illustrate)

Infections:
1. globe---conjunctivitis, keratitis, iritis, retinitis
2. Surrounding structures---eyelids, sinuses, nasolacrimal system…

Inflammations:
scleritis, episcleritis, uveitis, iritis, retinitis…

Anatomic:
entropion, ectropion, trichiasis, proptosis, nocturnal lagophthalmos, telangiectasia and hemangiomata of the conjunctival vessels…

Mechanical:
Contact lenses, foreign body

SYMPTOM
1. Itching
2. Scratchiness
3. Burning
4. Localized tenderness
5. Deep, intense pain ***
6. Photophobia ***
7. Halos ***
*** potentially serious symptoms

CAUSE
1. Allergy
2. Foreign body, dry eye
3. Lid, conjunctival, corneal disorders
4. Stye, chalazion
5. Corneal abrasions, iritis, acute glaucoma, sinusitis
6. Corneal abrasions, iritis, acute glaucoma
7. Corneal edema

Eye Infections - Eye Inflammations - Eye Injuries

Infections, inflammations or injuries of the eye and the resulting healing can cause scarring or destruction of ocular tissue, preventing light from entering the eye or preventing the images from being processed and recognized; the loss of vision may not be correctable.

Medical Definitions:

· Blepharitis: inflammation of the margins of the eyelids
· Canaliculitis: inflammation of the tubular passage in the eyelid connecting the punctum and the lacrimal sac
· Cellulitis (orbital): inflammation of the bony cavity that contains the eyeball and related structures
· Cellulitis (preseptal): inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue of the eyelids, restricted to the spaces defined by the fibrous attachments of the skin to the superior and inferior orbital rims and posteriorly by the orbital system
· Chalazion: inflammation (lipogranuloma) of the Meibomian glands within the eyelids
· Chemosis: edema of the conjunctiva
· Chorioretinitis: inflammation of the choroid and retina
· Conjunctivitis: inflammation of the tissue lining the eyelids (tarsal or palpebral conjunctiva) and eyeball (bulbar conjunctiva)
· Dacryoadenitis: inflammation of the lacrimal gland
· Dacryocystitis: inflammation of the lacrimal sac
· Endophthalmitis: inflammation of the ocular cavities and intraocular tissues
· Epiphora: overflow of tears due to faulty drainage by the outflow structures
· Episcleritis: inflammation of the episclera
· Hordeolum (internal): infected chalazion
· Hordeolum (external): stye---infection of the glands at the base of the eyelashes
· Hypopyon: accumulation of inflammatory cells and exudate in the anterior chamber, typically producing a fluid level visible by the unaided eye in the inferior part
· Iridocyclitis: inflammation of the iris and ciliary body (anterior uveitis)
· Iritis: inflammation of the iris
· Keratitis: inflammation of the cornea
· Keratitis sicca: keratoconjunctivitis sicca is caused by the reduction of the aqueous component of the preocular tear film, characterized by dryness and hyperemia of the conjunctiva and erosion of the cornea
· Panophthalmitis: inflammation of all the structures and tissues of the eye, orbit, and eyelids
· Pingueculum: yellowish subconjunctival deposit (elastotic degeneration), in the 3-9 o’clock axis
· Proptosis: forward displacement of the eyeball
· Pterygium: wedge-shaped vascularized growth (elastotic degeneration) extending onto the cornea in the 3-9 o’clock axis
· Ptosis: drooping of the upper eyelid
· Retinitis: inflammation of the retina
· Scleritis: inflammation of the sclera
· Uveitis: inflammation of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid
· Vitritis: inflammation of the vitreous

Eye Infection

Conjunctivitis is an eye infection which causes the thin skin covering the eyeball to become inflamed. It can be of two types: Viral and Bacterial, which is a milder form. Tough the bacterial form is milder that the viral infection, both the forms are highly contagious. It spreads through the air or through direct contact with discharge from the eye of the affected person which may carry the bacteria or virus

Cause
· Viruses
· Bacteria
· Irritants such as shampoos, dirt, smoke and pool chlorine
· Allergies like dust, pollen

Symptoms
· Redness in the white of the eye or inner eyelid
· Increased amount of tears
· Thick yellow discharge that crusts over the eyelashes, especially after slep.
· Itchy eyes.
· Burning eyes.
· Blurred vision
· Increased sensitivity to light.

Do’s

· Keep washing your eyes quite often, and not to forget hands.
· Should meet the doctor as soon as possible


Don’ts

· Don’t use any drops unless it is prescribed by a doctor.
· Should not use contact lenses
