White eye protein is a sign of beauty and health. Many women would like to get rid of the yellowness or redness of the sclera. However, this is not so simple. The whites of the eyes cannot be whitened in the same way as teeth. First you need to find out if the color change of the sclera is a sign of a disease. After all, the state of the eyeball can say a lot about human health.
Why do proteins change color?
The sclera of the eyes changes color for various reasons. It can be both fatigue and lack of sleep, and serious health problems. Before proceeding to cosmetic procedures, you need to visit a doctor and undergo an examination. The following pathologies may be the cause of the color change in the eye protein:
- Diseases of the liver and gall bladder. With such ailments, the whites of the eyes become yellowish. This may be an early symptom of hepatitis and biliary tract disease. The white protein of the eye returns only after treatment and normalization of liver function. It is impossible to carry out whitening on your own.
- Ophthalmic diseases. With such pathologies, a spot is formed on the protein of the eye. These diseases include pingvekula - a yellow wen on the sclera and pterygium - the growth of the conjunctiva. It is impossible to get rid of such spots without the help of an ophthalmologist, they must be treated surgically.
- Metabolic disorders. The sclera of the eyes may become yellowish with Gilbert's syndrome. This pathology is characterized by an increase in bilirubin in the blood.
- Acidosis (acid reaction of the blood). With this pathology, turbidity of proteins is observed. The causes of acidosis can be different.
- Conjunctivitis and rhinitis. Sclera redden with inflammatory diseases of the eye, as well as colds.
If the color change of the sclera is associated with diseases, then white whites of the eyes will appear only after eliminating the cause of the pathology. If the redness and yellowing of the sclera is caused by excessive eye strain or lack of sleep, then vasoconstrictive drops, a change in sleep patterns, as well as cosmetic procedures can help.
Eye drops
Special eye drops will help make the proteins white and clear. These drugs constrict blood vessels and eliminate redness. These drugs include the following medicines:
- "Vizin".
- "Naphazoline."
- "Iridine duet."
- Emoxy Optician.
- "Montevizin".
- Irifrin.
- "Okumet."
These drops quickly eliminate redness of the eyes after a long work at the computer, lack of sleep, during getting used to contact lenses or with an allergic reaction. However, such drugs can not be used for a long time. They have contraindications such as glaucoma, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory pathology of the conjunctiva. It must be remembered that vasoconstrictor drops increase intraocular pressure. In addition, such drugs are addictive over time, and the effect of their use is reduced.
Folk remedies
You can make white eye protein with the help of traditional medicine. Tea brewing has healing properties and well relieves inflammation of the conjunctiva and sclera. Tannins reduce redness. You can use the following recipes:
- Moisten a cotton swab in tea leaves and apply to the eyelids for 5-10 minutes. This procedure is useful in the evening with eye fatigue.
- Instead of tea, you can use decoctions of herbs: chamomile, cornflower, mint.
- Chamomile broth can be frozen in the refrigerator and ice-wiped eyes in the morning and evening. This will help relieve redness and eye fatigue.
- It is useful to put pieces of fresh cucumber on your eyelids.
Lifestyle
The use of drops and folk remedies for whitening eye protein will be effective only if a person changes his lifestyle. If you have to work at a computer for a long time, then you need to periodically take breaks and do exercises for the eyes. Read only with sufficient lighting.
You should sleep at least 8 hours. It is important to exclude smoking and alcohol, bad habits lead to the expansion of the eye vessels, as well as to impaired liver function, which causes yellowing of proteins. It is necessary to try to spend in the open air at least 1-2 hours a day.
Diet
To get rid of the yellowness of the sclera, you need to review your diet. To normalize liver function, you should eat as little as possible fried, smoked and salty foods. Food should be rich in vitamin C, this element has a beneficial effect on the organ of vision. It is useful to take multivitamin complexes.
The diet should include as many citrus fruits, juices and vegetable dishes as possible. If there is a strong redness of the eyes, then it is better to abandon the use of strong tea and coffee. These drinks increase intraocular pressure.
Are there any surgical bleaching methods?
In some cases, the yellowish color of the protein is not associated with pathology or an abnormal lifestyle, but is an innate feature of a person. Is it possible to correct the color of the sclera surgically? This question is often asked by patients to ophthalmologists.
Currently in Russia they do not perform operations that would help whiten the eye proteins. Abroad there is a surgical intervention called I brite. It consists in the removal of a membrane containing spots and blood vessels. Within 2-4 weeks, a new clean tissue forms in the person and the white of the eye becomes white. However, domestic ophthalmologists do not recommend performing such an operation for cosmetic purposes. After all, with this surgical intervention, a person has to remove healthy tissue, which can cause unpleasant consequences. Surgery is indicated only for eye diseases.
If the color change of the sclera is caused by congenital features, then you can mask it with decorative cosmetics. It is better to abandon too bright makeup, especially reddish shades, this will only emphasize the changed color of the proteins. Avoid brown mascara and eyeliner, this will enhance the effect of tired eyes. Using shades of pastel shades will help visually lighten the whites of the eyes. If there is a tendency to redness of the sclera, then it is better not to abuse decorative cosmetics, as this can provoke an allergic reaction.
