Eye mucus keeps coming out

In fact, normal people will have eye mucus in their eyes when they wake up every day. This is a normal phenomenon, but there are also abnormal manifestations. For example, some people say that they don’t know why there is constant eye mucus coming out of their eyes, which is very scary. Many people are confused whether this is a disease? So today I will explain to you what is going on when there is constant eye mucus coming out of your eyes.

It is most likely dacryocystitis. Although the corners of your eyes are red, there are no swelling or pain symptoms. Combined with your medical history, it is suspected to be chronic dacryocystitis, which manifests as tearing and excessive eye secretions. When squeezing the affected lacrimal sac area, you can see a large amount of purulent or serous secretions pouring out of the lacrimal puncta, and the affected tear duct is not flushed smoothly. It is recommended to first use antibiotic eye drops and perform tear duct irrigation. If the effect is not obvious, surgical treatment may be required if necessary.

By describing the patient's condition, we need to consider the symptoms of eye fatigue and dry eyes, which are related to blocked tear ducts and need to be checked and understood as soon as possible. Patients need to go to the hospital's ophthalmology department as soon as possible for a detailed examination and treatment, and take medication for conditioning. They should also have a good rest, not stay up late, overwork, or avoid looking at mobile phones or TV for a long time.

Consider the possibility of conjunctivitis. As the name suggests, conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, which is usually caused by bacterial infection and therefore usually requires anti-infection treatment. You can choose levofloxacin eye drops, tobramycin eye drops or chloramphenicol eye drops. However, some conjunctivitis may be caused by other factors. If the effect is not good, you need to see a doctor in time.

If you have a lot of eye mucus accompanied by red and painful eyes, it is a precursor to eye inflammation. Because when the eyes are infected by bacteria, an inflammatory reaction will occur. On the one hand, it stimulates the meibomian glands and promotes the secretion of oil, making the oil on the eyelids and in the corners of the eyes more than usual;

On the other hand, the blood vessels in the eyes dilate, and the white blood cells in the blood gather to kill foreign pathogens. The remains of these killed pathogens and the white blood cells that "gloriously died" in battle are mixed into the eye boogers. As a result, not only does the eye boogers increase, but some of them are yellowish white. Therefore, when you suffer from trachoma, conjunctivitis or other reasons that cause inflammation of the eyelid conjunctiva, the amount of eye mucus will increase. It can be said that too much eye mucus is a sign of eye inflammation and should be checked and treated in time.
