How to judge your health from your eyes?
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.
Next, I will tell you how to keep healthy through your eyes:
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 cause bilirubin accumulation, leading to yellowing of sclera. 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
Atherosclerosis patients
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.
Once tiny yellow plaques are found in retinal capillaries, it means that atherosclerosis is very serious.
What can we learn through our eyes?
Doctors believe that the eyes of hepatitis patients are usually unhealthy yellow, and there may be abnormal spots on the iris, which coincides with the theory of "the liver governs the spirit" in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, the eyes of diabetic patients are different from those of healthy people, because more than 70% of diabetic patients have red eyes, which is caused by retinal congestion. In fact, not only diabetes and hepatitis, but also many other diseases can be manifested through the eyes, such as nervous system problems. Usually when doctors diagnose brain diseases, they will ask ophthalmologists to provide in-depth examination reports as important reference data for final diagnosis. Problems such as hypertension, metabolic disorder and hyperlipidemia, including arteriosclerosis, can also be reflected in different degrees through the eyes.
Although the appearance of iris varies from person to person, some features are lifelong. No matter whether the body is sick or not, the signs of abnormality include unexplained lumps or dense white spots, which reveal the occurrence of inflammation or some serious diseases.
The following symptoms can be observed through the eyes. Next time you look in the mirror, don't forget to look at your eyes carefully to see if there is anything unusual and whether you need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive and formal physical examination.
1. The upper eyelid appears red, indicating dysfunction of blood, digestive organs and reproductive organs; White indicates lack of hemoglobin, anemia or abnormal blood circulation; Red and yellow may be the dysfunction of kidney, liver, spleen, pancreas and heart;
2. The appearance of black spots on the iris often indicates a major psychological blow or strong emotional changes, such as divorce or the death of important friends or relatives;
3. The shape and position of the pupil can also explain the problem-deviation from the longitudinal axis indicates that there is something wrong with the cerebral vessels;
4. Abnormal pupil contraction or dilation-whether there are nervous system disorders, drug poisoning or eye diseases can be considered;
5. Erythema on the eyes-may be a symptom of poor blood circulation;
6. The chestnut color on the iris indicates that there are too many toxins in the body and need to be resolved in time;
7. There is white mucus on the pupil-it may be the initial symptom of cataract;
8. lower eyelid edema-proof that there is liquid or mucus accumulation in the body, which will cause kidney or bladder dysfunction;
9. There is a small stain under the eyes-probably kidney calculi;
10. Brown or purple under the eyes-may have kidney calculi's disease or indicate poor metabolic function of the body;
1 1. Eyelids are beating irregularly-this may be caused by nervous system disorder or liver dysfunction.
How can I make my eyes look bright?
White-collar workers who sit in front of the computer for a long time often feel that their eyes are astringent and their vision is blurred. These are all symptoms of dry eye. Dry eye is caused by many reasons, such as long-term use of computers, dirty air, long-term work in air conditioning or dry environment, etc. According to statistics, in recent years, the number of patients with dry eye has been increasing worldwide, and it has reached120,000. Medical experts warn that people often don't care because the symptoms of this disease are usually not serious. However, research shows that long-term dry eye will bring irreparable harm, and even lead to blindness in extreme cases, so we should pay enough attention to dry eye.
We can use massage to relieve dry eyes: close your eyes, gently press your eyes with the fingertips of your index finger, middle finger and ring finger, or gently knead them by rotating. Don't last too long or rub hard, it will stop after about 20 seconds. This method can be used to eliminate eye fatigue. Appropriate reduction of contrast and brightness can reduce eye fatigue. The display has the functions of adjusting brightness and contrast, up and down, left and right offset and tilt. Try these functions to adjust brightness and contrast. However, if the brightness and contrast are too low, it is more likely to cause eye fatigue, so try several times to adjust to your own state.
In addition, Chinese medicine believes that dry eyes are generally caused by insufficient yin and blood in the liver, and dry mouth is generally caused by yin deficiency or body fluid injury, so dry eyes are mainly caused by yin deficiency. Lycium barbarum is sweet and enters the liver and kidney meridians, which can tonify kidney and replenish essence, nourish liver and improve eyesight, thus treating dry eye. In ancient times, it was thought that Lycium barbarum could quench thirst, that is, it also had the effect of treating thirst. Jujube tastes sweet and flat, can replenish blood, and blood belongs to yin, which is effective for dry eyes and dry mouth with insufficient yin and blood. Egg yolk can also nourish essence and replenish blood in traditional Chinese medicine, so eating eggs is also helpful to treat dry mouth and dry eyes.
Eating more fish can prevent vision deterioration.
Eating fish is good for the heart and good for the eyes. According to the research report published by Australian National University DrWayneSmith in ArchivesOphthalmology in March, eating more fish can prevent macular degeneration with age.
It is not too difficult to achieve this effect. You don't have to eat a lot of fish like a heart patient. You only need to eat fish once or three times a month. Studies have shown that people who eat fish once or three times a month have half the risk of macular degeneration compared with people who don't eat fish.
If you can eat fish at least once a week, it is enough for the health of your eyes, and it can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. But what kind of fish do you want to eat? In principle, fish with high fat content will not be more beneficial to prevent macular degeneration than fish with low fat content. Although fish fat contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, it is not found that fish with high fat content has better health care effect on eyes.
1. Lycium barbarum+rice: adding a little sugar after cooking porridge can treat blurred vision and tears.
2. medlar+chrysanthemum: brewing with hot water can relax and brighten your eyes.
3. Lycium barbarum+pig liver: The soup has the functions of clearing away heat, eliminating eye astringency and eliminating dark circles caused by staying up late.
Conclusion: Eyes-the window to see health. Of course, we understand that bloodshot and turbid eyes will not be a healthy performance of 100%. Bright, bright, black and white eyes represent health. The lines on the iris of the eye can especially show the health of the body organs. Specifically, the closer the lines of the iris are, the stronger the human body will be. On the contrary, if there are oval holes in the iris, it shows that the body's ability to resist pressure, pollution and various violations is poor.
