What is the white stuff that comes out of the eyewash?

The dust, mascara residue, small black spots and other impurities washed out by the eyewash should be attached to the eyelids, eyelashes and skin around the eyes. The white flocs are mucin, which is a component of the tear film that protects the eyes. This is a normal component of the surface of the eye. Don't worry. People who often wear cosmetic contact lenses and have dry eyes will secrete more proteins in the tear glands and meibomian glands of the eyes, such as immunoglobulin A, albumin, lactoferrin, etc.

Why do adults' whites of the eyes turn yellow? Because the sclera of the whites of the eyes or the transparent conjunctiva on its surface has pigmentation.

52% of the population has scleral nevus, which is a benign pigmentation that occurs in adolescence. Benign conjunctival nevus may be congenital, present at birth, or acquired after 6 months of age. Unsightly conjunctival nevus can be surgically removed. There is also conjunctival pigmentation common in Africa and our Asia, which is a race-specific melaninosis.

Can I wash my eyes with eyewash?

You can wash with your eyes open.

Before using the eyewash, first clean the dirt and makeup around your eyes, then clean the cup and pour the eyewash to the test mark line inside the washing cup. Next, face down, put the cup to your eyes, slowly raise your head, and after your eyes are fully adapted, slowly move your eyeballs and blink for about 10 seconds.

Wash the other eye in the same way, but pour out the previous eyewash solution and replace it with a new, clean one.
