The most common eye disease in women! The second most terrible

There are many types of eye diseases, and different people are prone to different eye diseases. Some eye diseases are particularly "favored" by women, and the incidence rate is 2-3 times higher than that of men.

As "Women's Day" is approaching, we have summarized the eye diseases that women are prone to, and reminded all female compatriots to pay attention to eye health and always have bright and beautiful eyes.

1Allergic conjunctivitis

Everyone loves beauty, and many girls like to put on makeup. However, if you do not remove makeup cleanly after using mascara, eye shadow and other cosmetics, it is easy for dust particles to fall into the eyes, causing allergic conjunctivitis and symptoms such as inflammation, redness, swelling, photophobia and tearing of the eyes.

2 Angle-closure glaucoma

Studies have shown that angle-closure glaucoma is particularly common among girls who are prone to temper tantrums. The cause of angle-closure glaucoma is closely related to emotions. When the emotions are too excited, the pupils dilate, causing the angle of the chamber to close, and the backflow becomes poor, causing an acute increase in intraocular pressure, which can easily induce acute angle-closure glaucoma.

3Chronic dacryocystitis

When winter comes, many middle-aged and elderly female friends will burst into tears when the wind blows, accompanied by excessive eye secretions. This is chronic dacryocystitis.

The main cause of chronic dacryocystitis is obstruction or stenosis of the nasolacrimal duct, which causes tears to be retained in the lacrimal sac and unable to be discharged, leading to bacterial growth .

The incidence rate is higher in women because their nasal passages are narrower than those in men.

4. Dry Eyes

Generally speaking, there are two reasons for suffering from dry eyes: (1) low tear production and (2) rapid tear loss . Common symptoms include dryness, foreign body sensation, burning sensation, itching, photophobia, red eyes, blurred vision, easy eye fatigue and other discomforts.

How to prevent eye diseases?

(1) Get regular eye health checkups

Many diseases have no obvious symptoms in the early stages, such as the very harmful chronic glaucoma, which can only be discovered through physical examinations. Especially for those with a family history of eye diseases, they should have an eye health check-up every year. Women with a history of high myopia, hypertension, diabetes, etc. are advised to go to a regular hospital for fundus examinations regularly or irregularly.

(2) Do not wear contact lenses overnight

Wearing contact lenses overnight greatly increases your chances of developing a corneal infection. Regardless of the type of contact lenses you wear, you should remove them before going to bed.

(3) Do not use inferior products

Do not use inferior products (which are not only harmful to the skin but also to the eyes), and remove eye makeup in a timely manner.

(4) Do not use eye drops indiscriminately

Eye drops generally contain preservatives, and misuse may lead to serious problems such as dry eyes and corneal damage.
