There are small white worms in the eyes of people

Often sitting in front of the computer "floaters" plague young people.

Recently, "floaters" has become a term that many young people often talk about. This floater is a flying mosquito, and some young white-collar workers get floaters, which are said to be related to frequent computer use. So what kind of disease is this? Let's find out.

Xiao Zhao can't do without the computer every day for work, and often sits in front of the computer for a few or even more than ten hours. Recently, small flying insects often appear in front of his eyes, sometimes in a flash in front of his eyes, sometimes several flying around, but in fact there are no flying insects in the sky. Xiao Zhao:

I felt like something black was floating in front of me, and my eyes didn't hurt or itch, and there was no other discomfort.

Xiao Zhao, who was full of doubts, then came to the hospital, and after a doctor's diagnosis, he suffered from a disease he had never heard of - "floaters". Xu Bing, Deputy Chief Physician of the Department of Ophthalmology of Shijitan Hospital: Just now we had a dilated fundus examination and found that he had vitreous punctate opacity, which we have seen a lot of recently, especially young people.

Dr. Xu said that the main symptom of this patient is that he feels that there is a black shadow in front of his eyes, the shape is different, or thick or light, and the eyes do not move regularly when they move together, and the patients are generally elderly, but now there are many young people suffering from this disease, mainly due to the excessive use of young people's eyes, which makes the vitreous cloudy time earlier. At the same time, people with moderate and high myopia, as well as people with diabetes or high blood pressure, are susceptible to this disease.

Doctors say that to prevent floaters, you can eat more iodine-containing seafood. Generally speaking, this floaters is not a serious eye disease, but if you notice a sudden increase in mosquitoes flying in front of you, or flashes of light, you must go to the hospital for examination in time.

This is commonly known as floaters.

Floaters are very common, common degeneration, in addition to the elderly, young or deeply myopic people also suffer from floaters.

The symptom is usually to see a few mosquito-like swarms flying in front of your eyes, sometimes flashing past your eyes, sometimes gathering but not dispersing, and shaking in front of your eyes all the time. The shape also changes from time to time, like dust, willow silk, and flying insects. Most of them are found suddenly, and vision is generally not affected.

This condition is related to changes in the vitreous within the human eyeball. The normal vitreous is composed of extremely slender filaments, and the gap between the filaments is filled with viscous semi-fluid, and is also full of mucin, which is in a transparent gel state, but with the growth of human age, especially in old age, the vitreous undergoes degenerative changes, so that the original gel state is liquefied, and there are fine dots, strips, nets and other turbidity, and floats and wanders with the rotation of the eyeball. When light enters the eye, these cloudy shadows are transmitted to the retina, and the "floater phenomenon" appears in front of the eyes.

If it is purely degenerative and does not have a major impact on vision, it is generally not necessary to have eye drops or surgery due to degeneration.

I wonder if the cuties have noticed that there are often floating objects in their sight? How to describe it, it's a bit like a small white bug, and it's also a bit like a drop of transparent objects.
