Slice raw potatoes and press them on your eyelids for about 15 minutes, which can also play a good role in reducing swelling; Eat more foods that help protect your eyes, such as fish, animal offal, carrots, potatoes, etc.

Massage the upper eyelid in an "S" shape! Stick the cotton swab head horizontally on the skin of the upper eyelid, along the eyelid sulcus and along the "S"-shaped route from the inside, and pull it to the temple with a little force to discharge the excess water of the upper eyelid.

Gently press the eye bags! You can use cotton swabs as an aid. The cotton swab head is upward, outward from the inner corner of the eye along the root of eyelashes, and rubbed while pressing. The strength should be gentle and even, and it should be rubbed to the temple in one go, which is the key to eliminate bags under the eyes. The middle finger and the ring finger are pulled back from the inner side of the upper eyelid and the inner side of the lower eyelid, then connected at the outer corner of the eye, and then pulled to the cheek through the temple, thus completely eliminating edema.

2. What is the cause of eyelid edema?

2. 1, physiological eyelid edema

Physiological edema is mostly due to poor sleep at night, or the pillow is too low when sleeping, which affects facial blood return. This kind of eyelid edema is more common in healthy people, which has no effect on the body and often fades naturally.

2.2, pathological eyelid edema

Pathological eyelid edema can be divided into inflammatory eyelid edema and non-inflammatory eyelid edema. In addition to eyelid edema, the former has local symptoms such as redness, heat and pain, which are caused by acute eyelid inflammation, eyelid trauma or periocular inflammation. Most of the latter have no symptoms such as local redness and fever. Common causes are allergic diseases or allergies to eye drops, heart disease, hypothyroidism, acute and chronic nephritis, and idiopathic neurovascular eyelid edema.

3. What diseases can cause eyelid edema?

3. 1, blepharitis

Commonly known as "sty". Acute suppurative inflammation of eyelid glands is mostly caused by staphylococcal infection, mainly manifested as eyelid redness, pain, induration and finger tenderness. After 3 ~ 5 days, the induration becomes soft and purulent, and the swelling and pain gradually subside after rupture and pus discharge; If the pathogen has strong virulence or weak systemic resistance, it can develop into cellulitis, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as chills, fever and preauricular lymphadenopathy. Early application of local hot compress to promote the softening and absorption of induration, application of antibiotic eye drops and eye ointment. If there has been a pus head, you should go to the hospital to cut and drain pus; Patients with severe inflammation should use antibiotics. It should be noted that when the abscess is not fully formed, it should not be squeezed, otherwise it may cause the spread of infection.

3.2, meibomian gland cyst

It is a chronic non-suppurative inflammation, which is caused by the obstruction of meibomian gland discharge and secretion retention. The symptoms of the disease are few. When the eyelids are closed, the local skin is often raised, with induration and no obvious tenderness, and the corresponding conjunctival surface is purple and congested. Some cysts can be punctured from the conjunctival surface to discharge colloid; Large cysts that cannot rupture by themselves should be surgically removed. This disease is easy to recur, and the treatment after secondary infection is the same as blepharitis.

3.3, malignant tumor

It can be divided into basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, meibomian adenocarcinoma and malignant melanoma, which are common in the elderly. At the initial stage, the patient had no obvious discomfort, and there were only tiny slightly raised nodules or moles on the eyelids.

3.4, chronic kidney disease

In the morning, the double eyelids are swollen, the lower limbs are swollen, the foam in the urine is increased (especially for those who do not subside for a long time), and the nocturia is increased (the total amount of urine during the day is more than that at night, accounting for 2 times of the total amount in the whole day). If nocturia increases, it may be the concentrated function damage of renal tubules), which all suggest that you may have chronic kidney disease, so you should go to the hospital as soon as possible for relevant laboratory tests.

Pay full attention to regular physical examination for eyelid edema. A considerable number of patients with chronic kidney disease have no obvious clinical manifestations and are often found in regular health checkups. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly test relevant indicators to find out whether there is chronic kidney disease. General renal examination mainly includes urine routine, renal function, blood pressure and renal ultrasound examination.

Among them, routine urine examination is a convenient and cheap method for early detection of chronic kidney disease, which is helpful to know whether patients have hematuria and proteinuria. It is best for the general population to have a routine urine examination and renal function examination once a year, and to have an ultrasound examination of the kidney when necessary, while the high-risk population should increase the frequency of urine monitoring; Renal function can not be judged only by serum creatinine, but also by everyone's age, sex and weight.

What should eyelid edema pay attention to? 1. Don't listen to low-stress music for a long time. Listening to this kind of music makes the body in a state of tension for a long time, making the nerves more excited and unable to relax. Therefore, when resting, try to listen to some light music as much as possible.

2, night lighting should avoid too strong light, because long-term exposure to light, the body will have a sense of tension. Good sleep is the best way to eliminate edema.

Don't soak in overheated water when taking a bath, because the activity of stimulating sympathetic nerve is stronger when the water temperature is too hot. In addition, after 8 pm, avoid drinking stimulating drinks containing caffeine.

4, eye patch gently close your eyes, apply the eye patch to the lower edge of the eyebrows, on both sides of the nose, gently smooth the eye patch, so that the eye patch can fully contact with the eye skin. 5. In addition, massage the facial muscles as much as possible, which can make the muscles soft and smooth and achieve the purpose of face-lifting.
