One eyeball is congested

It is possible that one eye may be congested due to trauma or bleeding caused by pressure during sleep. Generally, it is possible that the congested eye is caused by acute conjunctivitis or other diseases. It is necessary to find the factors and then choose the appropriate method to treat it slowly.

Pathological etiology

Eye bleeding, in addition to trauma, is caused by other eye diseases. The main ones are as follows:

(1) Acute conjunctivitis

Cause: It is a common epidemic eye disease caused by bacterial and viral infection and is highly contagious. Symptoms: Acute onset, both eyes affected simultaneously or successively, the affected eye has stinging, itching, foreign body sensation, severe cases have photophobia and burning sensation, vision is generally not affected.

Symptoms: Red and swollen eyelids, conjunctival congestion, and secretions that are mostly bacterial, mucous or purulent. When I woke up in the morning, my eyes were closed with secretions. The secretions of viral infections are mostly watery and may be accompanied by corneal lesions, enlargement and tenderness of the preauricular and submandibular lymph nodes.

Treatment mechanism: This disease is highly contagious and should be prevented and isolated. Towels and handkerchiefs should not be used by each other, and washbasins should be rinsed and disinfected after use. Keep the eyes clean. If there is a lot of secretion, rinse with clean water and apply antibiotics or antiviral drugs topically. If there are systemic symptoms such as fever and headache, internal medicine treatment should be combined.

(2) Acute iridocyclitis

Cause: The causes of iris and ciliary body diseases are very complex, and most of them are unknown. They may be related to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatism, tuberculosis, syphilis, viral infections, etc.

Symptoms: Ciliary congestion or mixed congestion, precipitates behind the cornea (abbreviated as KP), turbid aqueous humor, swollen iris, constricted or irregular pupil, slow light reflex, and posterior adhesion between part of the iris and lens;

Intraocular pressure is generally normal, but may sometimes increase or decrease; decreased vision is accompanied by obvious photophobia, tearing, and pain, which may radiate to the eyebrow arches, temporal region, and forehead.

Treatment mechanism: Actively find the cause of the disease and treat it. Use 1% atropine eye drops to dilate the pupil, hot compress, hormone eye drops or subconjunctival injection topically. Severe patients require systemic intravenous injection or oral hormones and anti-inflammatory drugs.
