Can cancer patients be seen with a clear eye?

There is a saying: "The eyes are the windows to the soul"! From a medical point of view, the eye can be said to be a direct response to the body's health, many diseases are emitted from the eye, there will be some more obvious lesions, most of the diseases are the eyeball itself, such as cataracts, etc., and some diseases can be observed from the peripheral manifestations of the eye, such as retinopathy, the more common is diabetes.

1. Sudden loss of eyesight

If there is a sudden loss of vision or even blindness under normal physical conditions, some patients will also have proptosis of the eyeball, which may be caused by intracranial tumors compressing nerves. If there is a tumor in the skull, the most direct manifestation is edema pressing the retina and causing vision loss, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination in such cases.

2. Yellowing of the sclera

The sclera is one of the main components of the eyeball wall, the front connects the cornea, and the posterior side continues with the sheath of the optic nerve, in clinical work, we can often encounter people with yellow sclera, the reason why the sclera turns yellow is because of jaundice, that is, the increase in bilirubin in the blood, generally speaking, pancreatic head cancer, liver cancer, bile duct cancer, etc. may cause jaundice, if the tumor in other parts metastasizes to these three sites, it will also cause jaundice.

3. Swollen eyelids

If you have swollen eyelids, you may have meibomian adenocarcinoma. In real life, swollen eyelids are often mistaken for edema, caused by eating salty food during the day or not sleeping well, and are often ignored, but swollen eyelids can cause the skin to break at any time.

4. Drooping eyelids

With the growth of age, many people will have drooping eyelids, but if one side of the drooping is more severe, it is necessary to pay attention to it, which may be caused by intracranial tumor compressing nerves, and it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for intracranial examination to check the condition.

If there is cancer in the body, the eyes know first! This statement is not just a casual talk, if you find an abnormality in your eyes in daily life, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, and you can't delay it again and again to avoid aggravation of the condition and miss the best time. However, when cancer appears, in addition to the symptoms of the eyes themselves, it may also be accompanied by other symptoms, such as jaundice, yellowing of the eyes, yellowing of the eyes, deepening of urine color, itching, dry eyes, etc., in addition, in the case of intracranial tumors, it may also be accompanied by headaches, numbness of limbs, limb movement disorders, vomiting and other phenomena.

Cancer itself is a comprehensive disease, which may be caused by a variety of factors, different tumors, and very different physical manifestations, but there are also similarities, so once the above characteristics appear in the eyes, you should go to the hospital for a detailed and in-depth examination in time.
