Can eyes reflect health status?

Eyes are not only the windows of the soul, but also the mirrors of human health. By observing the symptoms of the eyes, we can reflect the disease, which is helpful for early detection, early treatment and nip in the bud. At the beginning of the disease, it often sends a signal to the human body. If you don't pay attention to it, it may lead to serious illness.

1, eyes congested

The conjunctiva is covered with capillaries, and once the blood vessels rupture, congestion will occur. Ophthalmologists remind that conjunctival hemorrhage usually has no obvious cause, but if you have severe hypertension or platelet deficiency, the conjunctiva will also be congested.

2. Eyes protruding

Abnormal thyroid hormone levels in hyperthyroidism will cause swelling of the periocular tissues and exophthalmos.

3, eyelid drooping

With the growth of age, most people's eyelids will droop. But Andrew, a clinical associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of California, pointed out that this may also be a signal of brain tumor or myasthenia gravis.

4. Abnormal pupil

Under normal circumstances, the left and right pupils should be symmetrical. If the pupil shrinks slowly and slightly, it may be an early symptom of stroke, brain tumor, optic nerve tumor and other diseases.

5. Eyeballs turn yellow

Abnormal liver function such as hepatitis and cirrhosis can lead to bilirubin accumulation, which leads to

The sclera turns yellow. Bilirubin is a metabolite of hemoglobin. When the function is abnormal, bilirubin can not be excreted normally and will accumulate in the body.

6. Corneal ring

This may be a symptom of Wilson's disease. Due to the disorder of copper metabolism in patients with this disease, copper is deposited on the cornea, forming a "corneal ring" around the pupil.

7, eyelid thickening

Eyelid thickening may be a manifestation of neurofibroma.

8. Eye vascular plaque

In patients with atherosclerosis, once tiny yellow plaques are found in retinal capillaries, it means that atherosclerosis is very serious.

9. Abnormal optic nerve

Normally, the optic nerve should be pink. If it turns pale white, it may be a sign of diseases such as brain tumor and multiple sclerosis.

10, retinopathy

Many diseases, including diabetes and hypertension, can damage blood vessels and nerves on the retina. Therefore, if the retina oozes blood, secretes yellow liquid and has white spots, it is necessary to do a general examination immediately.
