It has been some time since the control of the epidemic was completely relaxed. The people around me have all had their sunshine, and those who have not have it continue to live their own lives. Nothing seems to have changed much. Some friends around me are suffering from yang and discomfort in their eyes and throat.
If you get the new crown , why will your eyes also suffer?
New coronavirus and eye diseases
After being infected with the new coronavirus, the common symptoms of the eyes include redness, eye pain, decreased vision, etc. These symptoms occur because pathogenic microorganisms may invade the patient's eye tissue, causing problems including ocular inflammatory lesions, ocular vascular lesions, optic neuritis and other problems.
Superficial scleritis can also be seen in patients with new coronavirus infection, manifesting as local redness, eye pain, tearing and other discomforts. Most superficial scleritis is self-limiting, and previous studies have shown that about 1/3 of patients with superficial scleritis may be related to viral infection. Uveitis, keratitis can also cause redness in people infected with the new coronavirus. In addition, because the new coronavirus activates inflammatory factors and causes trigeminal nerve dysfunction, patients with -positive infection may also experience eye pain.
Central retinal vein occlusion is one of the many vascular diseases caused by COVID-19 infection. Patients may experience blurred vision, deformed vision, etc. Central retinal artery occlusion can also occur in people infected with COVID-19. The main manifestation is sudden painless vision loss. In addition, patients infected with COVID-19 may also develop acute macular neuroretinopathy due to fundus capillary ischemia, manifesting as painless vision loss or visual obstruction in one or both eyes.
What should I do if my eyes feel uncomfortable after yang?
First of all, the primary disease should be actively treated. For example, eye pain associated with high fever requires the use of antipyretic drugs as directed by the doctor. Applying cold compresses to the eyes can be used to relieve discomfort such as eye pain. If vision loss occurs, you should go to a medical institution with ophthalmology in time to avoid delaying treatment.
Patients with persistent discomfort such as eye redness and eye pain should also go to a medical institution for treatment. Hand-eye contact may increase the occurrence of conjunctivitis , so try to avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands to avoid eye infection .
