What's the matter with the white bump on the white of the eye

The white of the eye is also called the sclera. The color change of the white of the eye is directly related to the health of the body. The whiter the white of the eye, the better the physical condition. Sometimes we find white bumps on the whites of our eyes and worry that there may be something wrong with our eyes. This may be caused by inflammatory stimulation or sensitivity. The eyes are inherently fragile and easily irritated, so we should pay special attention to eye protection.

Things that grow on the white of the eye are usually pterygium or palpebral fissure. Both types will have a bump, but palpebral fissure only grows on the sclera (white of the eye). Pterygium can develop onto the eyeball (black eyeball). I don't know which type you are talking about. I suggest you go to an ophthalmologist for a check-up. The palpebral fissure pingueculae can be observed. When pterygium develops to a certain extent, it requires surgical treatment.

The white of the eye is medically called the sclera. The whites of the eyes can reflect a person's health status. It can be said that the color of the whites of the eyes is closely related to health. Why not take out a mirror and look closely at the whites of your eyes to see what color they are?

Blue whites of eyes – anemia

Some people's whites of the eyes are not porcelain white, for example, the whites of the eyes are blue, which is medically called blue sclera. If the whites of your eyes are blue, it means that your body lacks iron. This is because the human sclera is composed of collagen tissue, and the synthesis factors of collagen tissue include iron. If there is a lack of iron, not enough collagen tissue can be synthesized and the sclera will naturally become thinner and unable to cover the choroid. The choroid is brown-black in color and under natural light, the sclera turns light blue. Most people with blue whites of their eyes suffer from chronic iron deficiency anemia. Such people can take iron supplements or improve their nutrition through diet therapy. If the whites of a child's eyes are blue, it can basically be considered as anemia.

Green spots on the whites of the eyes – intestinal obstruction

If you find small green spots on the whites of your eyes, it is most likely an early sign of intestinal obstruction. Other early signs of intestinal obstruction are not obvious, so be cautious when small green dots appear.

Yellowing of the whites of the eyes – jaundice

If the whites of a newborn's eyes turn yellow, it is jaundice. If it is an adult, there are mainly two situations: one is abnormal liver function, increased bilirubin in the blood, and yellowing of the whites of the eyes. This type of yellowing is a uniform yellowing of the whites of the eyes; the second type is caused by high blood lipids. This yellowing is localized and a bit blackish. If the whites of adults’ eyes turn yellow, they need to adjust their lifestyle habits. Don't drink alcohol, don't eat spicy food, and try to eat a light diet.

Blood flakes appear in the white of the eye - arteriosclerosis

Elderly people are more likely to have blood clots on the whites of their eyes, which is a sign of arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis is one of the important causes of death among the elderly, and old men suffer from it more often than old women. If blood stains appear on the whites of the elderly’s eyes, they should pay attention to monitoring their blood pressure and blood lipids, and strictly control their diet and eat less high-cholesterol and greasy foods.

Gray and black spots - roundworms

If gray or black spots appear on the whites of your eyes, and they are triangular, circular, or half-moon shaped, it means you have roundworms and you need to get rid of them! It is sufficient for adults to deworm 1-2 times a year, usually in spring and autumn.
