Why do eyes become bloodshot and red

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and the appearance of many diseases often manifests itself in the eyes, so you should pay more attention to protecting your eyes and reduce excessive use of your eyes. In particular, computers and mobile phones have radiation, so it is best to reduce the frequency of use. Some people usually have red eyes and congestion. This is mostly due to irritation of the eyes, which is closely related to staying up late and fatigue. You should pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

Under normal circumstances, the blood vessels of the conjunctiva are deflated and in a "sleeping" state, and no blood flows through the blood vessels, so the sclera always appears so white and flawless. When invaded by bacteria, viruses, etc., the "sleeping" blood vessels will be immediately "woken up" and then expand. Then red blood rushed in from all directions, and the sclera turned red. The most obvious symptom of inflamed eyes is red eyes. People with acute or chronic conjunctivitis, various keratitis, iridocyclitis, scleritis, glaucoma, chemical burns of the eyes, etc. may have varying degrees of eye congestion.

There are two types of eye congestion: superficial and deep. The former is bright red and is called "conjunctival congestion"; the latter is dark red and is called "ciliary congestion". The condition that has both symptoms is called "mixed congestion". These different types of congestion are very meaningful during doctor's examination and diagnosis, and are also one of the important bases for judging the severity of eye disease, but it is difficult for ordinary laymen to distinguish them.

Some people believe that the redder the eyes, the more serious the condition. Some people don't care much if they are not jealous. Actually, it is not. For example, acute conjunctivitis has an acute onset and severe congestion, but it is not considered a serious illness. If there are no special circumstances, it generally will not cause major problems and is relatively easy to cure. However, for diseases such as chronic iridocyclitis, scleritis, and glaucoma, the symptoms of congestion are not very obvious, but they are serious eye diseases that cannot be ignored. Most internal eye diseases do not appear to be congested, but may lead to blindness. Therefore, do not judge the severity of eye disease based solely on the severity of red eyes or the presence or absence of bloodshot eyes.

Hello, it is recommended to see a doctor to see if it is related to conjunctivitis.

Although this disease is not serious, it is difficult to treat. It is advisable to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment.

1. For those with bacterial infection factors, antibiotic eye drops should be used 3 to 4 times a day. For non-infectious factors, it should not be abused, let alone routinely used as a placebo.

2. You can try corticosteroid eye drops, but not for a long time, and the intraocular pressure should be monitored.

3. Pearl eye-clearing liquid, 3 to 4 times a day.

4. Treat the cause.

5. If it is difficult to adhere to oral decoctions, you can choose to take Ziyinjianghuo Pills, Zhibaidihuang Pills, Yinqiaojiedu Pills, etc. based on syndrome differentiation.
