Normally, there should be no bloodshot in the whites of the eyes

The eyes are a very important organ in our body and are vital to our daily life. However, the eyes are also very fragile and can often be injured. Under normal circumstances, the whites of the eyes are white, but sometimes some people will find bloodshot on the whites of their eyes. Bloodshot on the whites of the eyes mainly appears after the eyes are irritated, such as staying up late for a long time. But in addition to this, there are some other situations that can also cause bloodshot on the whites of the eyes. Let's take a look at them.

What is the reason for bloodshot eyes?

Today's society is a fast-paced society, so every company has many people working overtime, which is a normal phenomenon. However, after working overtime for a long time in the dark night, when you go home and look in the mirror, you will find that your eyes are full of bloodshot. What is going on? Is it just because of tiredness?

I have experienced this kind of frightening moment. Looking at the red bloodshot on my eyeballs, I couldn't help but wonder if I had an eye disease.

When people are born, their eyes are always clearly black and white, but as people continue to grow and experience, especially after a stressful period of work, many fine red blood vessels will appear on the whites of their eyes.

So why do people have so many red blood streaks in their eyes? What does the appearance of red blood streaks mean? Is it a sign of bad symptoms in the human body? Or is it a sign of some disease?

Red blood streaks are a sign that the human eye is irritated

Under normal circumstances, the human cornea does not have blood vessels, but if the eye is stimulated, blood vessels will slowly climb up the cornea, transporting nutrients to the eye, excreting waste, and promoting the repair of the eye.

Therefore, the red blood vessels we see on our eyes on a daily basis are new blood vessels, which proliferate when the eyes are irritated.

When we see children, we always think their eyes are so beautiful, with clear black and white. This is because when people are young, their eyes do not work too much and they do not need to use their eyes frequently by reading or using computers.

In fact, as people age, they use their eyes for longer and longer periods of time, and the frequency of use is also getting higher and higher, so that our eyes are basically moving every moment, without any rest. If this goes on for a long time, our eyes will definitely not be able to bear it.

This will cause people's eyes to be constantly stimulated by computer light, various bacteria and viruses, polluted air, and the skin care products people apply on their faces, which can cause the eyes to become irritated and new blood vessels to grow.

The new blood vessels on people's eyeballs are an inevitable and irreversible phenomenon in our growth. It is not necessarily due to eye disease, but everyone should pay attention to safe use of eyes in daily life to avoid the appearance of red blood vessels.

Severe red eyes accompanied by swelling should be careful of high blood pressure

The temporary appearance of red bloodshot eyes may not have a big impact, but if people have severe red eyes, accompanied by redness and swelling, mild eye pain and other discomfort, they should be alert to high blood pressure and go to the hospital for examination in time.

This is because high blood pressure can cause blood vessels to dilate or even rupture, leaving red bloodshot in the whites of the eyes. In clinical practice, 50% of hypertensive patients do not have any symptoms in the early stages. Many people accidentally discover that their blood pressure is high during physical examinations or examinations for other diseases.

Therefore, if you find yourself having "red eyes" for a long time, you should be vigilant, know how to seek medical help in time, and do not delay treatment.

I would like to remind everyone here to pay attention to eye hygiene, not overuse your eyes, create a good working environment for your eyes, look into the distance more often, do eye exercises more often, and pay attention to disease prevention. These measures can help you ensure eye health. For the sake of bright eyes, take action quickly.

What to do if your eyes are red?

Eyes are very important organs in the body. Dryness, bloodshot eyes, photophobia, tearing, or even redness and swelling are not groundless. They indicate that there is something wrong with the body. The cause of eye fatigue is generally related to the secretion of tears. This should attract everyone's attention. Don't think this is a small problem. Remember to protect your eyes.

1. Overcome bad habits

Many people are born with sad faces. Frowning and squinting all day long makes the skin around the eyes tense and becomes loose. In addition, too many facial expressions will also make the skin on the face, including the skin around the eyes, loose and aging. Staying up late for a long time and irregular sleep are naturally also a major enemy.

2. Food pairing

Drink more water to keep your skin hydrated. Fine lines, crow's feet, eye bags, dark circles, and puffy eyes are common problems around the eyes. These problems are sometimes caused by lack of water or poor circulation that causes water accumulation. Eat some gelatinous substances regularly, such as pig's trotters, chicken feet, etc. to maintain skin elasticity.
