How to treat bulging eyes and what causes bulging eyes

The "deformation" that myopic patients are really concerned about is because of long-term wearing of glasses (especially rimed glasses), a certain range from the orbit to the bridge of the nose is depressed and appears flat, and after taking off the glasses, people feel that the entire eye range has no contour of this part, and it may even be quite ugly (the myopic eyeball itself will be more heavy if the myopic eyeball has different degrees of protrusion), but when wearing glasses, because the glasses "fill" the flat part, it does not feel deformed. This is why even if shallow myopia long-term wearing glasses will make people feel that the eyes are deformed, and deep myopia will not make people feel "deformed" if they do not wear glasses often, and many people wear very light rimless glasses, the lenses do not contact the orbits, and although the nose pads are in contact with the bridge of the nose, because the frame is very light, the pressure is very small, even if you wear it for a long time, it will not make people feel deformed. The "deformation" mentioned above is actually reversible, and when you do not wear glasses for a long time, the contour of the eye frame will gradually recover due to the flexibility of the human skin.

Therefore, as a non-professional myopia patient, the "eye deformation" is actually "eye contour collapse", which is a different concept from the doctor's professional explanation of "eye deformation", and it is easy to deny the view that "wearing glasses will cause eye deformation" derived from people's long-term experience just from the fact that myopia is a pathological change of the eyeball is even more one-sided and unreasonable.

Many people believe in the saying that "wearing glasses for a long time will cause the eye sockets to become sunken and bulging, making it look very ugly". Experts said that in fact, wearing framed glasses for a long time will not lead to protruding eyes, in other words, the protruding eyeballs are not actually because of long-term wearing glasses, but because of high myopia.

Wearing glasses will not make the eyeball protrude, but myopia will make the eyeball protrude Myopia is because the lens becomes longer, and the image of light entering the eye is presented in front of the retina, so the phenomenon of blurred vision occurs. The lengthening of the lens also causes the entire eyeball to protrude outward.

Some experts believe that people with less than moderate or less myopia, that is, below 300 degrees, there is no need to wear glasses all the time, because:

1. Moderate or less myopia will not cause trouble or crisis to life because of unclear vision.

Second, there is no danger that myopia will deepen if you do not wear glasses for correction for a long time, as is the case with medium and high myopia. If it is a student with a relatively shallow degree, it is completely possible to wear glasses in class and take them off when you get home from school, parents do not need to ask their children to wear glasses all the time, of course, if someone is willing to wear glasses all the time, there is no need to force them to take off their glasses. Whether or not to wear glasses is up to your preference.

You should not take it lightly because your myopia is not high, you must know that if you do not develop good eye habits, often look at books and computers for a pair of hours, do not relax your eyes, and do not pay attention to the cleaning and protection of your eyes, myopia will also deepen.

As the myopia progresses, it will lead to the bulging of the eyeball. Therefore, it is most important to control vision and reduce myopia. Children under the age of 18 should develop good eye habits and take medication in time to reduce myopia.

It is recommended to take Leyan Vision Nutrients, twice a day, one pack each time, take it with warm water, and insist on taking it for a period of time, and the degree of myopia will gradually decrease.

What is an eye bulge?

Before we get to the official causes of a bulge of the eye, we need to understand what a bulge of the eye is. Bulging eyes, also known as proptosis, refers to the protrusion of the eyeball from the surface of the orbital wall, usually with a high body shape and a forward movement of the eyeball, and the degree of proptosis of the eyeball is far from the normal position of the eyeball.

The first bulge of the eye can occur unilaterally or bilaterally, and is usually caused by a variety of causes. Here are some of the common causes of bulging eyes.

1. Thyroid eye disease

Thyroid eye disease is one of the most common causes of bulging eyes and usually occurs in people with hyperthyroidism. In this condition, the immune system attacks the tissues around the orbit, causing muscle and fat growth in the eye, squeezing the eyeball and moving it forward, resulting in proptosis.

Thyroid eye disease can vary in severity from mild protrusions to extremely noticeable eye protrusions. In addition, bulging eyes can also lead to problems such as dry eyes, pain, and impaired vision, which can cause a lot of trouble to patients.

2. Congenital eye socket malformation

Some people are born with larger eyes, so it is more normal for them to appear to bulge more than others. However, some people have problems with the development of their eye sockets, which can also lead to bulging eyes. This situation is more common among young people.

Congenital eye socket malformations are characterized by incomplete development of eye socket muscles and bones, resulting in bulging eyes. Some congenital eye socket malformations can also affect vision and may eventually lead to an abnormal facial appearance.

3. Diseases of the inside of the eyeball

Diseases inside the eye can also cause the bulging eyeball. Glaucoma, for example, is a common disease of the inside of the eye, which causes increased pressure on the eyeball, which can cause the bulging eyeball; In addition, factors such as intraocular tumors, injuries inside and outside the eyeball, and other factors may also cause proptosis.

Unlike thyroid eye disease and congenital eye socket anomalies, bulging of the eye due to disorders inside the eye is usually obvious on one side and normal or relatively normal on the other.

4. Other factors

In addition to the above factors, there are some other causes that may cause bulging eyes, such as high blood pressure, increased intracranial pressure, fibrinosis, polyarteritis nodosa, etc.

It should be noted that if you find that your eyes are bulging, you should go to the hospital in time to check the cause, because some serious diseases may cause irreversible damage to vision and eyes if not detected in time.

If the eyeball is displaced forward due to various reasons, and the corneal apex exceeds the supraorbital border, it is called proptosis. The normal eyeball protrusion is generally 12-14 mm, and the difference between the two eyes is less than 2 mm, if the eyeball protrusion is more than 16 mm, and the difference between the two eyes is more than 2 mm, it can be considered as proptosis. There are many ** that cause proptosis, if you find that there is proptosis to actively find ** in order to get an effective **, there are the following common **:

1) Inflammatory exophthalmos is mostly caused by local, adjacent tissue and systemic inflammation, such as ocular fasciitis, orbital cellulitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis, panophthalmitis, etc. In addition to proptosis, there are also inflammatory manifestations such as local redness, swelling, heat, and pain.

2) Intraorbital mass is one of the common causes of proptosis; Most of them are benign, with hemangiomas as the majority, slow onset, mainly manifested as proptosis, normal or decreased vision, eye movement is mostly barrier-free, common hemangiomas, meningiomas, lacrimal gland masses, nerve sheath tumors, etc.; Malignant tumors include leiomyomas.

3) Vascular proptosis is more common in internal carotid artery cavernous sinus leakage; Orbital varicose veins. The former is more common after trauma, monocular or bilateral eyeball protrusion, there is a sense of pulsation, auscultation can hear a rumbling sound, compression of the internal carotid artery, protrusion and pulsation can disappear, so it can be called articulate proptosis, the latter can be congenital or acquired, when the head is bowed or breathless, and proptosis occurs, when the head is upright or supine, the eyeball can be restored, so it is called intermittent proptosis. Mainly due to stasis of intraorbital vein filling.

4) Orbital deformity exophthalmosis Orbital deformity is caused by various reasons, resulting in small orbital content and proptosis occurring. It is more common in congenital acutopia, congenital sphenoid pterythroid, hydrocephalus, etc.

5) Traumatic proptosis caused by intraorbital hemorrhage, tissue edema and emphysema caused by local trauma to the eye and orbit.

6) Thyroid exophthalmos mostly occurs in women, with moderate protrusion of both eyes and eyeball, and can be accompanied by enlargement of palpebral fissures and reduction of blinking. At the same time, there are manifestations of hyperthyroidism throughout the body.

7) Pituitary exophthalmos is more common in middle-aged men, it is binocular and can occur successively, showing progressive proptosis, so it is also known as malignant proptosis, eyelid edema, bulbar conjunctival edema exposed, eye movement disorders, eyelids can not be closed, and corneal damage is prone to occur.

There are three types of bulging eyes:

1.congenital bulging eyes;

2.myopic protrusion;

3.Bulging eyes caused by hyperthyroidism (hypothyroidism).

At present, there are some drugs that can control the re-convex eye, or can make the convex eye concave back 1-2 mm, but there is no drug in the world that can completely restore the protruding eye, so the convex eye has become a problem that the world medical community has been overcoming. There is an osteotomy on the traditional protruding eye, but it is not promoted by doctors and is not accepted by patients, because the operation is risky, there are many complications, and the eye frame needs to be amputated and then the ribs are connected, the method is complex and the surgical risk is large.
