What eye drops are good for itchy eyes? Eye itching is one of the main complaints of ophthalmic patients. The judgment of eye itching mainly depends on whether it is accompanied by other symptoms, such as no accompanying symptoms (NO secretion, no fear of light, no conjunctival irritation, etc.), it is only simple itching, and the seasonality of itching is very obvious. At the same time, it is also accompanied by nasal allergy symptoms such as nasal itching, runny nose and sneezing, It may be caused by allergy.
Because patients with allergic conjunctivitis will feel itchy and uncomfortable, many patients buy eye drops for treatment, which is very dangerous. There are many reasons for eye itching. If you can't prescribe the right medicine, it will hurt your eyes. For chronic allergic conjunctivitis, hormonal eye drops and anti allergic drugs can quickly alleviate the symptoms of eye itching, but they can only be used for a short time. If hormone eye drops are used for a long time, it is very easy to reduce eye resistance, increase the chance of infection, and cause irreversible damage such as increased intraocular pressure, hormone glaucoma, hormone cataract and optic nerve atrophy.
For acute allergic conjunctivitis, it is recommended to use some hormonal eye drops plus anti allergic drugs in the short term according to the doctor's advice: for chronic allergic conjunctivitis, it is recommended to scrape conjunctival cells, find out allergens, and then carry out desensitization treatment, so as to truly achieve the goal of 'root cure'. There is also a disease associated with eye itching, which is dry eye disease. Dry eye is one of the most common and prominent ocular surface diseases, and it is also a research hotspot in ophthalmology. In the past, it was often diagnosed as chronic conjunctivitis.
Dry eye syndrome has discomfort symptoms such as itching, dry eyes and foreign body sensation, but the ocular surface is good. Dry eye disease has main complaint symptoms such as dry eye, incomplete tear film and reduced tear secretion. Dry eye syndrome is a kind of connective tissue disease, a manifestation of systemic diseases in the eyes, and may be accompanied by dry mouth and other symptoms.
With the popularity of computers and television, the number of patients with dry eye disease is gradually increasing, because normal people blink an average of 20 times per minute, but when their eyes are staring at the computer screen, the number of blinks per minute may be reduced to 6-7 times. The main function of blinking is to moisturize the eyes. The number of blinks is reduced, and the degree of moisturizing the eyes is certainly reduced.
For dry eye, it is recommended to prescribe the right medicine on the premise of excluding eye surface and systemic diseases, and drop some artificial tears, such as tear ran, beifushu, Aili and other eye drops. For long-term use, it is recommended to moisturize the eyes with artificial tears without preservatives, so as to alleviate the symptoms of dry eyes.
