Red eyes in humans are by no means uncommon. Moreover, they do not so much look tired as they greatly spoil the appearance of the face. And, in fact, why do such problems arise with them? I must say that the surface of the eyeball has a very large number of small blood vessels. It is they who can expand under the influence of certain circumstances. However, such circumstances can be harmless to the eyes, and can be dangerous, because they are caused by acute infections of an infectious nature. So, redness of the eyes can occur for multiple reasons. These include:
Permanent lack of sleep. This phenomenon is not uncommon, therefore, if the eyes are red for this reason, then all you need to do is just get a good night's sleep. Closed eyelids help hydrate the eyes. If the eyes remain dry, it can also cause redness.
If red eyes and discomfort bother you immediately after sleep, then this problem can cause eyelids. Rather, not the eyelids themselves, but a disease called blepharitis - an inflammatory process at the edges of the eyelids.
In the event that redness in the eyes begins to appear during the day, then the cause of this may be dry sclera. If this is precisely the reason, then “artificial tears”, which can be purchased at any pharmacy, will help to eliminate it. True, such "tears" only moisten the eye sclera, but in no way contribute to the narrowing of blood vessels. And this means that a person will not get used to them.
By the way, about the drops from the redness of the type of “Innox” or “Vizin”. Such funds really help to narrow the vessels, as a result of which the red eyes come to a normal state. True, the problem is that the frequent use of such drugs begins to become addictive to them. In addition, approximately 2-3 hours after instillation of such drops into the eyes, redness returns again.
Instead of drops, you can cool your eyes in a fairly simple way. To do this, you need a damp towel, which should be put on your covered eyes. Under the influence of cold, red eyes will begin to gradually acquire their usual appearance. As a rule, no back reaction occurs in this case. In addition, the cold is able to add to the eyes the extra moisture that they need so much.
It would be useful to say that you can even prevent the appearance of redness in the eyes. First of all, you need to make sure that in your daily diet there are a lot of vitamins necessary for the eyes. It is also strongly recommended that you give your eyes time and a good rest. A special charge will be useful, not to mention the mandatory interruptions in work. This is especially true if the work is associated with prolonged eye strain.
If red eyes are constantly observed for a rather long time, then this may be due either to the action of certain irritants on them, or to the presence of an allergic reaction. Moreover, in the latter case, we must try to find and eliminate the cause of its appearance, and if this does not work out, then the person should be in such conditions for some time where he will not be in close contact with allergens. Or you will have to regularly use antihistamines.
However, redness redness is different! Those. if there is a blood stain that occurs on the eye protein covering the pupil, then this is a very bad sign. And although a person cannot see bleeding in the eye, his vision will begin to deteriorate, his eyes will hurt, and a “pink veil” will stand in front of them. In this case, it is impossible to postpone a visit to an ophthalmologist, otherwise vision can be easily lost.
