Various Diseases
newhealth.ml - There
are various eye diseases, among others, we discuss here with the aim that we
know and can be more careful in maintaining eye health. Because beside the
window of the heart, the eyes are our vital organs for learning and doing
activities. And most importantly the eye is a means to see the beauty of the
world.
Eye pain is not all
contagious, but some are contagious so we need to be careful so we can avoid
eye disease. And some eye diseases are caused by infection, both because of
viral, bacterial or fungal infections.
Eye diseases that often attack us include
Conjunctivitis
This eye disease is
classified as contagious. This eye disease occurs due to irritation or
inflammation due to infection in the membrane lining the eyes. Symptoms are
reddened, painful, runny, itchy, dirt (stiffness), and vision (blurred). The
disease can be caused by several factors, such as viral or bacterial
infections, allergies (dust, powder, feathers, wind, or smoke), the use of
contact lenses that are less clean, and the use of long-term contact lenses.
Babies can also suffer from similar diseases. It's just that the cause is more
due to infections that arise when passing through the birth canal. In infants
this disease is called gonococcal conjunctivitis. As we all know that the birth
canal is not sterile from certain germs that might cause infection. When a baby
is born through the birth canal (vagina), the baby is easily infected by germs
in the area. If it is about the eye, it can cause an infection in the eye with
symptoms of red eyes and belekan. Therefore, in general the eyes of newborns
will be eye drops or antibiotic ointments to kill bacteria that can cause
gonococcal conjunctivitis.
Keratokonjungtivitas vernalis
is irritation or
inflammation of the part of the cornea (mucous membranes) due to allergic pain.
The symptoms caused are red eyes, watery, itchy, swollen eyelids, and eye feces
(stiffness). Keep in mind this disease is a recurrent inflammation, aka
seasonal and sufferers tend to relapse, especially in the summer. Sometimes
sufferers suffer damage to a small portion of the cornea which causes acute
pain.
Endophthalmitis
is an infection that
occurs in the inner lining of the eye so that the eyeballs festering. Symptoms
include red eyes, pain, and even vision problems. It usually occurs because the
eye is pierced by something like a stick or other sharp object. This infection
is quite severe so it must be treated immediately because it can cause
blindness.
Orbitalist cellulitis
that is inflammation of
the tissue around the eyeball. Symptoms include red eyes, pain, swollen
eyelids, protruding and swollen eyeballs, and sufferers experiencing fever. In
children it often occurs due to eye injuries, sinus infections or infections originating
from the teeth. Diagnosis can certainly be established through dental and oral
x-rays or sinus CT scans. Orbitalis cellulitis that is not immediately treated
can be fatal, such as blindness, brain infection or blood clots in the brain.
For mildly classified cases, antibiotics can be given orally. In severe cases
antibiotics are given through blood vessels or even surgery to remove pus or
dry the infected sinuses.
Trachoma
is an eye infection
caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. These bacteria multiply in dirty
or poorly sanitized environments. Because of that, trachoma often attacks
children, especially in various developing countries. Bacterial exposure takes
place when the child uses tools or objects contaminated with Chlamydia such as handkerchiefs
or towels. Symptoms of trachoma are red eyes, excretion (swelling), swelling of
the eyelids and lymph nodes, and the cornea looks cloudy. This disease is very
contagious.
Bleararitis
In the eyeball there is
a layer of tear that protects the eyeball from irritation. This very fine layer
consists of three glands, namely oil, water and mucus glands. Well, blefaritis
is an inflammation of the eyelids due to excessive oil production originating
from the oil glands. It is not known exactly why oil production can be
excessive. Unfortunately this excess oil is near the eyelids which are also
often visited by bacteria. Symptoms of blepharitis include red eyes, pain,
heat, itching, watering, there are sores on the eyelids and swell. In some
cases, eyelash loss occurs. There are two types of blepharitis, anterior
blepharitis and posterior blepharitis. The first is inflammation of the outer
front of the eyelid which is where the eyelashes attach. The cause is
staphylococcal bacteria. The second is inflammation of the inner eyelid, the
part of the eyelid
