For women, shaving eyebrows may also be a fashion if you like. However, if the outer third of your eyebrows start to fall off, it may be a common signal of thyroid gland-hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Thyroid gland is small, but it is an important gland for regulating metabolism. Thyroid hormone plays a decisive role in hair growth.
With the growth of age, it is natural for eyebrows to become thinner. However, when suffering from thyroid diseases, the eyebrows are not evenly distributed, but selectively fall off at the outer ends of the eyebrows. At the same time, the hair of other parts of the body will also fall off, especially the eyebrows, which may be observed for the first time. In addition, premature graying of eyebrows may also be related to thyroid diseases. Eyebrow loss caused by thyroid diseases is common in women, while hyperthyroidism is common in women aged 20-40.
Treatment: If you need to see a doctor in time if your eyebrows fall off abnormally, especially those with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, you should be more vigilant. Before seeing a doctor, you should also pay attention to whether there are other changes in your body, such as weight, energy, stool, menstruation, mood or skin.
The stye (blepharitis) will not disappear.
Sometimes, blepharitis appears inside or outside the eyelid, which is ugly, but harmless. If the stye does not disappear for a long time (such as three months) or recurs in the same place, it may be a rare cancer-sebaceous gland cancer.
In fact, the sty is that the eyelash sac is filled with fat glands and usually disappears within one month. Cancerous cysts look like styes, which will not disappear, or seem to disappear, but will soon reappear in the same place. Other signs of eyelid cancer include nearby eyelashes falling off.
Treatment: If the sty does not disappear for a long time, you need to see an ophthalmologist. Biopsy is helpful for differential diagnosis. If it is cancer, it can generally be removed by surgery.
Uneven yellow patches on the eyelids.
These small yellow patches are medically called eyelid macular tumors, which are usually early warning signals of high cholesterol, also known as "cholesterol masses", but they are actually fat accumulation. Some people mistake these plaques for sty, but macular tumors are usually not one but many, and they are very small.
Treatment: If there is uneven yellow plaque on the eyelid, you need to see a dermatologist or ophthalmologist, who will usually use an optical microscope for diagnosis. Doctors will detect these deposits. In fact, high cholesterol will be diagnosed first in routine eye examinations. The disease is generally not serious and will not cause pain or blindness. Doctors will also take this symptom as a signal of coronary heart disease.
When using the computer, my eyes feel burning and my vision is blurred.
The burning sensation of eyes and blurred vision when using the computer indicate that you use the computer too much and your eyes are tired. Eye fatigue is mainly caused by watching the computer screen for too long, which leads to the loss of the ability to produce lubricating tears, which is too harmful to the eyes and accompanied by blurred vision and discomfort. Generally, it is more serious in the afternoon, mainly because of dry eyes in the afternoon. I feel dazzling when I see printed matter, and people who wear glasses are more likely to have this symptom.
Treatment: draw the curtains to keep the indoor light intensity moderate; Wear coated glasses; Adjust the light intensity of the computer screen; Use LCD computer; Eyes are at the same height as the display screen; Eyes watching the screen for too long should pay attention to rest.
Increased mucus secretion in eyes
The increase of viscous secretions in the eyes may be a signal of blepharitis, and may also be accompanied by dandruff and acne. Blepharitis is mainly caused by eye contact or pollutants entering the eyes, which can lead to burning sensation, tears and dryness. Debris accumulated in eyelashes or canthus or even eyelids can cause blepharitis.
Treatment: Wash your hands frequently, apply a warm wet towel to your eyes for five minutes at a time, relax the skin around your eyes and soften the debris. If you need to see a doctor seriously, the doctor will prescribe antibiotic ointment or oral antibiotic drugs and artificial tears.
There are small blind spots, flicker or ripple lines in the field of vision.
Ocular migraine can lead to visual confusion, with or without headache, and the change of cerebral blood flow is the main reason. At first, eye migraine is a visual distortion in the middle area of visual field, which may be a bright spot, multiple points or a line. It seems to be moving, which will lead to visual dispersion, and the window seems to have pits or cracks. Eye migraine is sometimes painless and won't cause lasting damage. Different people have different incentives (such as coffee, alcohol or stress). If the headache is very serious, it will cause nausea.
Treatment: If eye migraine occurs during driving, it should be stopped immediately until the symptoms disappear (usually within one hour). If the symptoms persist for more than an hour, you need to see a specialist to check and rule out serious problems, such as retinal tear. If you have symptoms of stroke or epilepsy (such as fever, loss of muscle strength or language impairment), please see a doctor as soon as possible.
Eyes are red, swollen and itchy
Many foreign bodies can reach the eyes and make them red, but if the eyes are itchy, accompanied by sneezing, coughing, sinus congestion and runny nose, it is probably an allergic reaction. Pollen, dust or animal dander are all triggers of allergies. Eye allergies may also be due to some beauty agents or eye creams. For example, some people are allergic to preservatives in eye drops for dry eye.
Treatment: stay away from allergens during treatment, antihistamines can relieve itching symptoms, and eye drops can quickly relieve eye allergy symptoms. If you are allergic to preservatives in eye drops, you can choose products without preservatives.
The sclera changes from white to yellow.
The change of sclera from white to yellow is a typical symptom of jaundice. Two groups of people are prone to jaundice: newborns with immature liver function and adults with hepatobiliary or biliary diseases including hepatitis and cirrhosis. The sclera of the eye turns from white to yellow because the liver can't handle the old red blood cell product bilirubin, which leads to the increase of bilirubin. Although other diseases will have similar symptoms, it will not cause the white sclera of the eye to turn yellow obviously. For example, people who eat too much carotene will turn yellow, but the sclera of the eyes is still white.
Treatment: If jaundice occurs, symptomatic treatment is needed.
Eyelid lump or brown spot
If skin cancer occurs, many people will pay attention to the examination of skin masses and ignore eyelids, and many malignant tumors of eyelids are basal cell carcinoma. These tumors exist in the form of brown spots-like other skin cancers, they are probably malignant melanoma. Older people with fair skin have a high risk of eyelid tumors, which usually occur in the lower eyelid. These masses are light blue-gray with small blood vessels. If the lump occurs in the eyelash area, it will cause the eyelash to fall off.
Treatment: When patches or ulcers appear on the skin, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Early detection is very important, especially before it spreads to nearby lymph nodes.
Primitive vision
The most common cause of exophthalmos is hyperthyroidism, especially Graves disease. If there is exophthalmos, it is necessary to check whether there is a white part between the iris and the upper eyelid, because it is abnormal (some people may have hereditary exophthalmos, not hyperthyroidism). Graves' patients don't blink and stare at people often. Because of the slow development of the disease, outsiders often find it by accident when they look at its photos, but it is difficult for people living with patients to find it.
Treatment: If exophthalmos occurs, especially when there are other signs of Graves' disease, including blurred vision, fatigue, increased appetite, weight loss, tremor and palpitation, you need to see a doctor. Blood test can help diagnose thyroid level, and the treatment is mainly drugs and surgery.
Sudden diplopia, black eyes or blindness
Sudden diplopia, black eyes or loss of vision are visual warning signals of stroke. Other signs of stroke include sudden numbness or weakness in limbs or face, usually on one side of the body, walking disorder, slurred speech or severe headache caused by dizziness or lack of balance and coordination. Severe stroke patients can suddenly have all the above symptoms, which may be lighter for a few minutes or hours.
Treatment: Call 120 emergency number immediately if you have symptoms of stroke.
And is sensitive to light.
And sensitivity to light. This is a disease in which the glands in the eyes (lacrimal glands) or mouth (salivary glands) remain moist. Sjogren's syndrome is common in women over 40 years old with autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus disease). Usually dry eye and dry mouth occur at the same time, and some people may have dry skin. Because the patient lacks salivary glands, it will be difficult to chew and swallow.
Treatment: It is necessary for doctors to diagnose Sjogren's syndrome through testing and to protect eyes with artificial tears. Drinking more water also helps.
Suddenly I couldn't close my eyes and couldn't control my tears.
Sudden inability to close eyes and control tears are typical symptoms of facial paralysis. Facial paralysis is a kind of nerve (seventh cranial nerve) injury that controls facial muscles, causing temporary paralysis of half of the face. Facial paralysis is mainly caused by virus infection or bacterial infection. People with diabetes are at high risk of these diseases. Facial paralysis is not only an eye, but also half a face. Although the symptoms vary from individual to individual, they are basically facial muscles drooping and weakness, eyelids drooping, eyes difficult or almost impossible to close, and more or no tears. The onset of facial paralysis is more sudden.
Treatment: In case of facial paralysis, you usually need to see a doctor. However, many patients are temporary and can recover within a few weeks, and there are few cases of recurrent attacks. The doctor's treatment can help to restore facial muscle functions such as language and smile, and can also avoid facial asymmetry. Professional ophthalmologists can help restore the affected eye lubrication and eyelid weakness.
Diabetic patients have blurred vision.
Diabetic patients, including glaucoma and cataracts, have a significantly increased risk of eye diseases. The most common eye disease of diabetic patients is diabetic retinopathy, mainly because diabetes can affect the eye circulation system and make adults blind. In addition to the high risk of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic patients can also cause visible eye bleeding without pain symptoms. If blood sugar cannot be effectively controlled, these symptoms will worsen.
Treatment: Diabetic patients need frequent eye examinations to control retinopathy, glaucoma or cataract as soon as possible before symptoms appear.
