What causes eye pain in pregnant women?

Many people experience eye pain after becoming pregnant. What is going on? Generally, it is because of sitting in front of the computer for a long time or in a heated environment that people often feel dry eyes and blurred vision, which are symptoms of dry eyes. The health of pregnant women is extremely important, and the problem of eye pain cannot be taken lightly. The following content introduces us in detail what causes eye pain in pregnant women. Let’s take a look.

There are many causes of this disease, such as long-term use of computers, smoking, polluted air, etc. Especially in winter, long-term exposure to heating is more likely to cause this disease. According to statistics, the number of patients with dry eyes has continued to increase worldwide in recent years and has now reached 12 million.

Depending on the cause, it can be divided into the following three categories.

1. Substantial conjunctival and keratitis sicca: It is caused by extensive scarring of the palpebral conjunctiva and bulbar conjunctiva, which destroys the secretory glands of the conjunctiva itself and even the lacrimal glands and lacrimal ducts. Such as severe trachoma, extensive thermal or chemical burns, severe chronic conjunctivitis, pemphigoid, etc.

2. Oral-ocular dryness-arthritis syndrome (or "dry eye syndrome"): This is a disease with unclear etiology. In recent years, it has been discovered that it may be caused by abnormalities in the innate immune system. The main manifestations are keratoconjunctivitis sicca, dry mouth, and concurrent connective tissue disease (most commonly rheumatoid arthritis)

3. Conjunctival epithelial sicca: This is one of the ocular manifestations of vitamin A deficiency. The main cause of vitamin A deficiency is the high consumption of vitamin A in the body and the low intake. It is more common in infants and young children who are improperly fed with artificial feeding. It is very likely to occur when they have malabsorption or suffer from consumptive dysentery such as measles, pneumonia, disease, diarrhea, etc. In adults, it is more common in patients with advanced liver cancer, cirrhosis and long-term chronic digestive tract diseases.

Solution:

Paying attention to eye care in daily life can alleviate the symptoms of dry eyes, such as paying attention to mental relaxation and taking proper rest when you feel eye fatigue; try not to look up, place the TV or computer below eye level, and do not watch TV or use the computer for too long; place the desk and computer monitor out of direct sunlight, because the reflection of the lighting light can cause eye fatigue; maintain a certain humidity in the room.

The most direct way to solve dry eyes is of course to moisten them. The healthiest way is to yawn. If you can't yawn, use artificial tears.
