Eyes are bloodshot, eyeballs are swollen and painful

Many people not only have bloodshot eyes, but also feel pain in their eyeballs. In fact, this symptom is mostly caused by eye disease, inflammation and bacterial infection. In normal times, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of other diseases and go to the hospital for relevant examinations. Because long-term eye infection may lead to the risk of blindness, it is necessary to find the cause and treat it.

Clinical diagnosis 1. History of eye congestion

Find out whether the bloodshot eye occurs in one eye, both eyes, simultaneously or one after the other.

Whether there is secretion and whether the nature of the secretion is purulent, mucous, or watery.

Are there any irritation symptoms such as tearing, eye pain, etc.

Whether vision is affected. If the red eye disease starts suddenly,

If there is bilateral discharge, no irritation symptoms, and no impact on vision, acute conjunctivitis is considered. If the eyes are red with no discharge and no other symptoms, it may be a subconjunctival hemorrhage.

If there is red eyes, visual impairment, and obvious irritation symptoms, it may be an inflammation of the cornea or iris and ciliary body.

If the red eyes develop suddenly and are accompanied by eye pain, swelling, halo vision, a sharp decrease in vision, and even nausea and vomiting, it may be acute angle-closure glaucoma.

2. Physical examination of bloodshot eyes

Full body examination to check for systemic infectious diseases, fever, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, blood disease, etc.

During an eye examination, the visual acuity should be tested first to determine whether the bloodshot eyes are due to an external eye disease or an anterior segment lesion. Further check whether the red eye is congestion, congestion or bleeding. Pay attention to intraocular pressure and whether there is swelling or inflammation in the eye socket. Check the cornea, anterior chamber, iris, and pupil in detail, and if necessary, combine it with intraocular pressure and fundus condition.

3. Laboratory tests for eye congestion

Smears, scrapings and cultures are helpful for the diagnosis of conjunctival and corneal lesions.

4. Instrumental examination of eye congestion

Slit lamp microscopy examination can reveal the shape, size and depth of corneal lesions.

Fold to edit this section. Treatment of ocular congestion is divided into two types: 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 when doctors examine and diagnose, and are also one of the important bases for judging the severity of eye diseases. However, it is difficult for laymen to distinguish them clearly [1].

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.

Eye congestion occurs when the capillaries on the surface of the eye become red, swollen and congested, often due to insufficient oxygen supply to the cornea or other tissues on the surface of the eye. Eye fatigue and incorrect eating habits, especially when consuming large amounts of ethanol, can also cause this phenomenon.
