The protrusion of this part indicates that you will not live long

Eyes are the windows to the soul and an important organ for us to understand the world. If there are some problems with our eyes, how can we see the world? With the improvement of living conditions, vision problems have become a major problem for people. So what symptoms indicate poor eyesight?

1. Look at the eye shape

Swollen and dark eye bags are a symptom of kidney deficiency and water retention. Red and swollen upper and lower eye bags indicate spleen heat. Sunken eye sockets are mostly caused by a deficiency of body fluid or severe damage to Qi and blood. If you see a person who has been ill for a long time with sunken eyes, it means that the vital energy of his internal organs is depleted, the disease is difficult to cure or the prognosis is poor; if the vision is blurred or he cannot see things, it means that his vital energy has been lost, and it is a dangerous sign of separation of yin and yang. Bulging eyes, accompanied by swollen neck, increased appetite, weight loss, and irritability are symptoms of hyperthyroidism. If the eyes are bulging and accompanied by difficulty breathing, wheezing and inability to lie down, it is usually a symptom of emphysema. People with a bulging eye often have a tumor in the brain.

2. Look at the eyes

If the patient can see clearly and the black and white of the eyeballs are distinct, the disease is easy to cure. If the white of the eye is turbid, the black of the eye is dull, and the eyes are dull, the disease is difficult to cure.

3. Look at the eyes

People with red eyes often suffer from a fever. Red sclera indicates excessive lung fire, which is common in patients with conjunctivitis; if the entire eyeball is red, swollen and painful, it is mostly a syndrome of wind-heat in the liver meridian. Yellow eyes indicate jaundice. Blue or purple-brown spots of varying sizes in the white of the eye are caused by ascariasis. Eye bags that are dark, dull and lifeless are a sign of kidney deficiency.

4. Looking at the eyes

The eyes look upward and cannot move, which is often a dangerous sign of convulsion or mental exhaustion. If the eyes are squinting or looking upward, it is a precursor to convulsions or spasms. Sleeping with eyes open usually indicates weak spleen and stomach, or chronic convulsions in children. Dilated pupils are usually a symptom of kidney-essence depletion, a sign of critical illness, but they can also be seen in liver and gallbladder wind-fire disturbances, drug poisoning, trauma, etc. Pupil constriction is mostly due to liver and kidney strain, internal heat, or excessive liver and gallbladder fire. It can also be seen in drug poisoning.

5. Eyelid twitching

Eyelid twitching is caused by spasm of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which everyone may have experienced in life. Most of the causes are due to eye muscle fatigue, lack of rest and sleep, or anemia, excessive smoking and drinking. By relaxing mental stress, getting adequate rest and applying local hot compresses, most people can recover from the symptoms in a short period of time.

6. Yellowing of the whites of the eyes

The white of the eye is actually divided into two layers, the inner layer is called the sclera. If the liver suffers from diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, the sclera will turn yellow, which is called "jaundice". Huang Zhongwei explained that the yellow color is caused by bilirubin produced by the decomposition of hemoglobin.

The outer layer is called the conjunctiva. After being exposed to ultraviolet rays, dust and other pollution for a long time, it will produce adverse reactions such as pigmentation. The white of the eye will turn dark yellow and the black of the eye will become turbid. Therefore, it is more common in the elderly.

7. Bleeding in the whites of the eyes

When you see a bright red patch on the white of your eye, it is actually caused by ruptured blood vessels in the conjunctiva. However, some people mistakenly believe that it is "fundus" bleeding, which is wrong. In fact, it is "ocular surface" bleeding, which is generally caused by eye injury or abrasion. What needs to be vigilant is that if bleeding in the whites of the eyes occurs frequently without external causes, it may be a manifestation of vascular sclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, or blood diseases such as thrombocytopenia in the eyes. However, it can also occur due to forceful coughing, habitual constipation, or during menstruation in a few women.

8. Puffy eyelids

Swollen eyelids are usually caused by reduced internal organ function, which leads to water accumulation in the body. Most of them are caused by decreased kidney or gastrointestinal function, or heart disease. The specific situation requires comprehensive systemic symptoms and laboratory tests to determine. But generally speaking, most symptoms caused by acute nephritis are obvious in the morning. For people with poor heart function, edema will first appear in the legs and then gradually move upwards to the face, eyelids and other parts of the body.

9. Drooping eyelids

Eyelid drooping refers to the drooping of the eyelids. In general, people believe that the loose eyelid skin of the elderly will naturally droop, which is a sign of aging and a natural phenomenon. However, ptosis can also occur in the eyes of patients with myasthenia gravis, brain tumors, cerebral stroke, hypertension, diabetes, etc., but the manifestations are different. For example, myasthenia gravis has a slow onset, with milder symptoms in the morning and heavier symptoms in the evening, with obvious fluctuations. If it is caused by diabetes, brain tumors, or cerebral stroke, the onset will be acute, and there will also be other symptoms such as inflexible eye movement and double vision.
