What is the reason for the long-term bloodshot in the white of the eye

Under normal circumstances, the whites of people's eyes and pupils should be clearly black and white. The whites of the eyes are filled with capillaries. If some people are too emotionally excited, it may cause congestion of the eyeballs, resulting in the phenomenon of red blood vessels all over the whites of the eyes. There are also some people whose whites of the eyes are filled with bloodshot even when they are not overly emotional. So what is the reason for the long-term bloodshot in the whites of the eyes?

Why are there red bloodshot eyes?

There are many causes of red blood streaks. Some are caused by long-term exposure of the skin to strong cold or hot stimulation; some are caused by irritation from cosmetics. What is the reason for red bloodshot eyes? There are several main reasons:

1. Climate and environmental factors

Long-term living in a relatively harsh living environment, such as the thin air in the plateau and skin hypoxia, leads to an increase in the number of red blood cells and compensatory dilation of blood vessels. Over time, vascular contraction dysfunction causes red blood streaks.

2. Abuse of cosmetics

Or long-term "skin package care" can also cause red bloodshot eyes. And the sequelae caused by improper skin peeling. The acidic components of skin peeling products destroy the protective effect of the skin's stratum corneum and the elasticity of capillaries, causing the capillaries to dilate or rupture.

3. Stimulation by physical factors.

For example, the stimulation of temperature changes causes the tolerance of capillaries to exceed the normal range, causing capillaries to dilate and rupture. Or incorrect beauty techniques may cause damage to capillaries and cause red blood streaks.

4. Excessive use of eyes

Excessive use of eyes, such as using computers, mobile phones, writing, and other things that require concentration, and not paying attention to resting the eyes, will cause excessive eye fatigue and cause red bloodshot eyes.

5. Local infection

If the surface of the eyeball is invaded by bacteria or viruses, such as rubbing the eyes with your hands or foreign objects entering the eyes, it will cause local infection of the eyes and symptoms of red bloodshot.

Red blood streaks are very common. In addition to congenital genetic conditions, the main causes of red blood streaks on the face are the ones mentioned above. In daily life, everyone should pay more attention to avoid the occurrence of red blood streaks.

What to do if your eyes are red?

1. Use artificial tears to reduce dryness.

2. Clean the eyelids to prevent the eyes from becoming inflamed and bloodshot due to debris, grease, bacteria, cosmetics and other dust.

3. If you feel heat in your body, drink more honey water, preferably one cup of 250ml a day.

4. Ensure sleep. You should get 7 hours of sleep every day. Adequate sleep helps moisturize the eyes and reduce bloodshot eyes.

5. Apply a cold towel to the eyes to constrict blood vessels and moisturize the eyes.

6. Don’t spend too much time on the Internet. Take a break for 5 to 15 minutes every 2 hours. The same applies to reading.

7. Wolfberry + rice: After cooking into porridge, add a little white sugar to treat blurred vision and tearing. Wolfberry + Chrysanthemum: Brew with hot water and drink to make eyes relaxed and bright.

8. Take lutein, vitamin A, carotene and zinc to supplement the nutrients necessary for the eyes.
