There is a small black spot on the eye

People may not pay much attention to a small black spot on the skin, but a small black spot on the eye should be taken seriously. The small black spots on the white of the eyeball should be considered to be caused by vitreous opacities, which is related to eye fatigue caused by long-term computer use; another reason is inflammation, which requires timely medical treatment. When inflammation occurs, the eyes will feel uncomfortable, so it is easy to identify.

1. What is the reason for a small black spot on the white of the eye?

1. Vitreous opacity

The so-called small black spots in the eyes are probably caused by vitreous opacities. This situation is related to excessive fatigue such as using the computer for a long time. It is recommended to reduce close eye use and ensure adequate sleep. You can eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and riboflavin.

2. Congestion or inflammation

Black spots in the white of the eye. Consider two reasons. On the one hand, lack of sleep and long hours in front of the computer may lead to eye fatigue, increased intraocular pressure and congestion; on the other hand, eye inflammation may stimulate the conjunctiva and cause conjunctivitis. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, massage the eyes appropriately, avoid facing the computer for a long time, eat a light diet, and observe for a few days. If you feel any discomfort, you need to go to the hospital for an ophthalmology examination and receive timely treatment.

2. What to do about conjunctivitis

The treatment of conjunctivitis varies according to the cause. The eyelids can be gently washed with clean water and a clean towel to remove secretions. If it is bacterial conjunctivitis, antibiotic eye drops or ointments can be used. Generally, corticosteroid eye drops are not needed for conjunctivitis. If herpes virus conjunctivitis is considered, corticosteroid eye drops should never be used, as they may make the condition worse.

3. Treatment of floaters

Vitreous opacity is a disease caused by metabolic disorders. There is no drug treatment at present, but it will not develop quickly. If you really feel uncomfortable and it affects your life, you can do vitrectomy to cut off the original vitreous and inject silicone oil or other inert gas filling. However, surgery is risky after all, and the cost of this surgery is relatively high, so it is not recommended to take surgery unless it is absolutely necessary. You don't need to take various drugs, because there is basically no good way to treat it. It is recommended to have regular checkups and see a doctor at any time if there is any new situation. Don't take drugs blindly. This disease develops slowly and basically remains unchanged for ten or twenty years, so don't worry too much.
