Allergic conjunctivitis can be divided into five categories: seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, perennial allergic conjunctivitis, spring keratoconjunctivitis, local papillary conjunctivitis and atopic keratoconjunctivitis. Itching, foreign body sensation, congestion, edema and increased conjunctival sac secretion are common symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. However, in daily life, the symptoms of "allergic conjunctivitis" and "dry eye" are very similar, and many patients easily confuse these two diseases, so they should embark on the road of seeking medical advice.
What is the connection between allergic conjunctivitis and dry eye? Professor Gu Jianjun explained in the lecture that allergic conjunctivitis leads to the release of a large number of inflammatory factors, resulting in the loss of mucus layer and the instability of tear film, which is the main factor leading to dry eye. At the same time, dry eye syndrome leads to the decrease of tear film stability, defense function and allergen invasion, which greatly increases the incidence of allergies. Therefore, although allergic conjunctivitis and dry eye are two different types of diseases, their pathogenesis is mutual promotion, mutual induction and coexistence. Therefore, in order to greatly improve the efficiency of governance, multi-angle collaborative governance is needed.
Patients with allergic conjunctivitis should learn to manage themselves. Remember these six points, it sounds that the symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis are not serious, just some "small mistakes", but these small shortcomings have brought great pain to patients. Many patients can't live and work normally, and even have a heavy psychological burden, which greatly affects the quality of life. Ji Jianping taught allergic conjunctivitis patients how to manage themselves.
1. Minimize eye irritation caused by allergens. When allergens such as pollen increase, avoid going out.
2. Keep the air circulation in the living environment, pay attention to hygiene and reduce the breeding of dust mites and bacteria.
3. Patients with allergic conjunctivitis should try to rest in dim indoor light to avoid discomfort caused by strong light stimulation. When going out, it is recommended to wear sunglasses to keep out the light.
4, allergic conjunctivitis should not be hot compress, hot compress will aggravate local congestion and inflammatory cell aggregation and infiltration, aggravating symptoms.
5, it is not appropriate to cover the eyes, otherwise it is easy to increase the local temperature and humidity of the eyes, so that bacterial reproduction will aggravate the condition.
6, symptoms should be quickly controlled, reduce the damage of conjunctival mass.
