Doctors told us what changes in the eyes can mean health problems.
About this information Ua-novosti reported, URA-Inform reports.
They noted that you can understand that there are health problems simply by looking into someone's eyes.
Pupil size
The human pupil instantly reacts to light , decreasing in bright light and increasing in lack of light. If this reaction is slow, it may indicate problems with the brain – for example, talk about dementia, Alzheimer's disease.
Red or yellow eyes
A change in the color of proteins always indicates that something is wrong with a person. The redness is usually caused by irritation or infection, and in most cases goes away fairly quickly. If it does not go away, it may signal a more serious infection or inflammation. In extreme cases, a red eye is a sign of glaucoma, an ominous disease that means a high risk of vision loss.
Yellowishness of the whites of the eye
This is one of the clear signs of loss of health liver, possible hepatitis. Jaundice is also caused by autoimmune diseases, some viruses or tumors.
Blood spots
Blood-red spots on the whites of the eyes are a subconjunctival hemorrhage, the result of the rupture of a small, localized blood vessel. Such a change in the condition of the eyes may be the result of overexertion, but it can be a sign of more serious health problems – high blood pressure, diabetes, poor blood clotting.
Ring around the cornea
A white or gray ring around the cornea is often associated with high cholesterol and an increased risk of heart disease. It may also indicate alcoholism.
Fatty breast
A yellowish fatty lump that can appear on the white of the eye is known as a pinguecula – a small deposit of fat and protein. The formation is not dangerous until it begins to grow, but fortunately, this problem is easily solved – you just need to visit an ophthalmologist.
Bulging eyes
Bulging eyes may well be a congenital feature of appearance. Loss of health means those cases when normal eyes sooner or later begin to bulge forward. The cause of this change is a disorder in the thyroid gland, which requires medical attention. Bulging of one eye can be caused by injury, infection. In isolated cases, this occurs due to a tumor growing behind the eye.
Recall that earlier it was reported how to improve the condition of the cardiovascular system: products that help cleanse blood vessels were named.
