Patients with ocular discomfort
Appeared in the Ophthalmology Clinic of Beijing Geriatric Hospital
Zhao Huiying, deputy chief physician of the Ophthalmology Department of the Geriatric Hospital, reminded: If you experience eye discomfort after being infected with the new coronavirus, you can use cold compresses to relieve eye pain and other discomfort. If the discomfort persists, you should go to the hospital in time.
Dr. Zhao Huiying introduced,
After being infected with the new coronavirus, red eyes, eye pain,
Vision loss, etc.
more common eye discomfort
Conjunctivitis is the most common ocular manifestation after 2019-nCoV infection. Patients mainly present with red eyes, foreign body sensation, tearing and other discomforts, which can occur in one or both eyes, and can occur at various stages of the new crown infection.
"At present, it is believed that the occurrence of conjunctivitis may be related to the direct invasion of conjunctival tissue by the new coronavirus or the attack of the immune system after the infection of the body by the new coronavirus. Hand-eye contact may increase the occurrence of conjunctivitis."
Superficial scleritis can also be seen in patients with new coronavirus infection, manifested as local redness, eye pain, tearing and other discomfort. Zhao Huiying said that most superficial scleritis is self-limiting, and previous studies have shown that about 1/3 of superficial scleritis may be related to viral infection. Uveitis and keratitis can also cause red eyes in people infected with the new crown. In addition, due to the activation of inflammatory factors by the new coronavirus and the dysfunction of the trigeminal nerve, patients with positive infections may also experience eye pain.
Central retinal vein occlusion is one of the many vascular diseases caused by the new coronavirus infection. Patients may present with blurred vision and metamorphopsia. Central retinal artery occlusion can also occur in patients with new crown infection. The main symptom is sudden, painless loss of vision. In addition, people infected with the new crown can also cause acute macular neuroretinopathy due to fundus capillary ischemia, manifested as painless vision loss or visual obstruction in one or both eyes.
Eye discomfort after "Yang"
How should I do it?
Physicians reminded that the primary disease should be actively treated first, such as eye pain combined with high fever, and antipyretic drugs should be used according to the doctor's advice. Applying cold compresses to the eyes can be used to relieve discomfort such as eye pain. If there is vision loss, you should go to a medical institution with ophthalmology in time to avoid delaying treatment.
Patients with persistent discomfort such as red eyes 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 infections.
