Every 3 months, Ling Yan (pseudonym) will plant false eyelashes, which is a "compulsory course" for her beauty lovers. However, recently Ling Yan's eyes had appeared red and swollen, and the symptoms of strange itching were incomparable, and she did not get better after using eye drops, so she came to the ophthalmology department of Guanghua Hospital for treatment. Unexpectedly, the doctor found a large number of worm mites on her eyelashes.
"Most people have a little bit of creep mites on their eyes, and when the parasite number is small, they will live peacefully with humans, but when the body's immunity declines, mites can form pathogenic pathogens, thus causing mite blepharitis." Wang Hongxia, director of the Department of Ophthalmology at Guanghua Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said, "This patient gathered a large number of mites at the root of his eyelashes, causing mite blepharitis at the same time, but also appeared blepharitis dry eye. ”
Wang Hongxia introduced that peristaltic mite blepharitis is a relatively common eye disease, which is usually manifested as eye itching, red eyelid margin, eyelashes loss, erythema and papules on the eyelids, which can cause redness and swelling of the eyelid margin and even involve conjunctival hyperemia.
What exactly caused Ling Yan's eyelashes to grow with mites?
It turns out that the worm mite can be seen everywhere in life, pillows, quilts, sheets, pets, and unwashed hands everywhere have its "figure", and the reason why the worm mite attaches to the hair follicles at the root of the eyelashes is mostly because the cleaning care at the root of the eyelashes is not in place in personal daily life, resulting in mite accumulation, plus Ling Yan often worries that the new eyelashes fall off too quickly, so the eyelids are not carefully cleaned when washing the face, and a large amount of sebum and metabolites accumulate over time.
After coming to the ophthalmology department of Guanghua Hospital, Wang Hongxia carried out local mite killing, atomization and anti-inflammatory, hot compress cleaning and other treatments for Ling Yan's eyes, and applied antibiotic eye ointment to the patient's eyes, carried out pulsed laser treatment, and suggested that Ling Yan suspend the implantation of false eyelashes to achieve the purpose of removing mites.
After several treatments, the symptoms of redness, swelling and itching in Ling Yan's eyes basically disappeared, and her eyes returned to their former radiance.
Wang Hongxia reminded the general public to pay attention to the following points to prevent mite blepharitis: pay attention to personal hygiene, and dry the quilt frequently; Wash your hands frequently and get rid of the habit of rubbing your eyes with your hands; Pay attention to the room is always ventilated, keep the house dry and clean; If there are unexplained and recurrent symptoms such as itching, red eyes, and eyelashes, be sure to go to the ophthalmologist in time.
