Question and answer: how to eliminate redness of the eyes?
It is important to remember that redness of the eyes, accompanied by sharp, aching or throbbing pain, as well as pain that worsens in the light, requires urgent medical attention. Other serious symptoms include headache, sensitivity to light, nausea, or vomiting.Redness appears due to the fact that the whites are filled with blood. This occurs due to changes in the blood vessels that supply the membrane covering the front of the eye. The conjunctiva is a membrane that covers the front of the eye and the back of the eyelids. The blood vessels in this membrane can dilate, causing the eyes to become red. The most common reasons for this: An infection, such as caused by bacteria. Allergic reaction. Inflammation. Home remedies for red eyes Depending on the cause, red eyes can often be treated at home. Here are some tips: Apply a cool compress to your eyes regularly by soaking clean cotton wool or cloth in cold water and then squeezing it out. Avoid eye makeup or choose hypoallergenic products. Use artificial tears, which can be purchased over the counter at pharmacies. Use antihistamine drops if the redness is caused by seasonal allergies, for example. They are also available without a prescription. If you plan to use any other eye drops, talk to your doctor first as some may increase redness. To prevent red eye from occurring or worsening: Avoid smoke, pollen, dust and other irritants. Do not wear contact lenses until the redness subsides. Always clean your lenses thoroughly and do not reuse disposable lenses. Wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your eyes to prevent infection. Wash your clothes, pillowcases and towels regularly. Swim or shower before bed or after returning from being outside if you have seasonal allergies. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun, pollen, or dust when outdoors. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) contact lenses Conjunctivitis means inflammation of the surface of the eye, and it has several different causes. Bacteria or viruses. Often accompanied by bacteria-related discharge. You can get rid of them by wiping your closed eyelids with water or a compress. Never use the same compress on both eyes. If symptoms do not go away after a week, you should consult a doctor. If the cause is bacterial, you may need antibacterial eye drops. Cold or flu. This type of redness usually spreads quickly, affecting both eyes. Allergy. Seasonal allergies, such as pollen or animal allergies, often cause red eyes. Irritation. It is divided into physical irritation, caused by an object entering the eye, and chemical irritation, for example, after swimming in a chlorinated pool. In most cases, this conjunctivitis goes away without medical attention. |
