diagnosis

[1] The eyes are the windows to the soul. They are the most fragile and sensitive part of our body. We should treat them with great care. If you experience any of the following conditions, please go to the hospital for a check-up:

① Redness and swelling of the eyelids or conjunctiva, commonly known as "studdy eye", is an acute purulent inflammation of the eyelids. ② There is pain around the eye or slight pain when the eye moves, the visual field is narrowed, or even partial visual field is lost, the red and green fields are affected, and hemianopsia or dark spots occur. The disease often occurs in one eye, and the vision of the other eye decreases sharply, or even completely blind in a short period of time. There are often headaches and intraorbital pain. Intraorbital pain that worsens with eye movement or pressure may be a sign of optic neuritis.

③ The eyes feel itchy and burning, and the skin at the eyelid margin becomes red. This is mostly blepharitis, also known as "sore eye margins" or "red eye margins".

④ When waking up in the morning, the upper and lower eyelids are often stuck with a large amount of sticky or purulent secretions. There is a foreign body sensation or burning sensation in the eyes, and slight tearing or pain. Most of them are acute infectious conjunctivitis, commonly known as "pink eye" or "fulminant conjunctivitis".

⑤ The eyes have obvious irritation symptoms, such as fear of light, tearing, pain, decreased vision, and grayish white or yellowish white ulcers on the surface of the cornea, which are mostly keratitis.

⑥ Unable to see clearly at night or in the dark, the conjunctiva is dry and loses its moist luster, mostly night blindness. Night blindness often occurs in malnourished children and is often accompanied by systemic symptoms of malnutrition, such as emaciation, low and hoarse crying, and mental depression.

⑦ If you feel that your vision is distorted, there is a dark area in your field of vision, there are often flashes or sparks in front of your eyes, which cause flash hallucinations, or you often feel that there are black shadows floating back and forth in front of your eyes, you may have choroiditis. If you often feel that your vision is distorted, straight lines are seen as curves, sometimes objects are slightly larger, sometimes smaller, and sometimes white objects are seen as yellow, you may have central retinochoroiditis. If yellow reflections appear in the eyes, visual impairment or complete loss of vision, accompanied by systemic infectious diseases, it may be purulent choroiditis.

⑧ If you feel flies flying in front of your eyes, black spots or black blocks floating in front of your eyes, or have decreased vision, you should consider the possibility of vitreous liquefaction, turbidity or degeneration.

⑨ There is no change in the appearance of the eyes, but the eyes suddenly become blind overnight, or even lose their sense of light. This may be due to central retinal artery sclerosis or venous thrombosis. If you feel floating black spots in front of your eyes, decreased vision, or sudden loss of vision, or only residual light perception, you should consider retinal periphlebitis.
