Eye stones Once "grown"
may damage the cornea
Eye stones refer to eyelid conjunctiva stones. Unlike kidney stones and gallstones, it is neither a "stone" nor a calcified tissue, but a yellow-white condensate growing on the surface of eyelid conjunctiva.
Inflammation urges it to grow bigger
…
epithelial cells and leukocytes fall off, and bind to the secretions of protein in the eyes. Under the action of inflammation, they enter the conjunctiva and condense to form eye stones.
It looks like broken rice grains, mostly scattered, and some are densely integrated into groups.
growth position is hidden
…
Ocular stones are at a deep position when they first start. Since they grow under the conjunctival epidermis, they will not cause friction to the eyeballs, so they are generally not noticed.
When it grows slowly, it will gradually protrude from the surface of the conjunctiva. At this time, there will be a clear sense of foreign objects in the eyes, and the eyeballs will be red, swollen and tingling.
Frequent friction of the cornea when blinking or rubbing the eyes will cause symptoms such as eye pain, photophobia, tears, blurred vision, and decreased vision. In severe cases, the cornea may even be abraded.

3. Frequently put on heavy makeup
If the makeup is not removed cleanly, the residue of the cosmetics will fall into the eyes, which will irritate the eyelid margin and conjunctiva, causing blepharitis , meibomian glanditis, etc.
eye oil emission function will also be affected, causing some chronic inflammation.
