On weekends with sunny sunshine and a light breeze, Auntie Wang strolls through the park as usual, leisurely savoring the tranquility and beauty of retirement life. Recently, she noticed that something seemed wrong with her eyes, not only did her vision deteriorate, but she also had pain in her eyeballs from time to time. At first, she only thought of it as a common eye fatigue in old age, but as the years passed, these discomforts intensified and quietly invaded her daily routine.
Aunt Wang's experience is not unique. In the medical field, the eye is one of the important organs of the human body, and its abnormal symptoms can often be early warning signs of lesions in other parts of the body. In particular, we should be vigilant when the following six symptoms appear in the eyes, as they may be closely related to cancer regardless of age.
1. Vision gradually becomes hazy, or the clarity decreases.
Blurred or decreased vision is a common symptom of many eye diseases, but it can also be a sign of cancer. A brain tumor quietly puts pressure on the optic nerve, causing signs of gradual vision loss. Blood diseases such as leukemia, thrombocytopenia or damage to blood vessels in the fundus, pose a potential threat to vision.
2. Eye pain
Eye pain can be caused by a variety of reasons like eye fatigue, inflammation, etc. Persistent pain with signs such as vision loss and headache should cause a high level of alertness. This may involve underlying factors for brain or eye tumors.
3. The eyeball is abnormally protruding, forming a protruding state.
One of the typical signs of an ocular tumor is a prominent protrusion of the eyeball. Tumors in the eye or orbit are expanding day by day, exerting increasing pressure on the eyeball, causing it to bulge out visibly. This protrusion is usually painless, but if left untreated, it can cause permanent damage to vision.
4. Eye congestion
Ocular congestion can be caused by a variety of reasons like eye infections, allergies, etc. If the congestion lasts for a long time and is accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, vision loss, etc., then you need to be vigilant. This may be related to the disease condition of the eye or even the whole body. Leukemia worsens, blood spots appear in the fundus, and the eyes become red and swollen.
5. Drooping eyelids
Upper eyelid lift is limited, drooping is exposed, and the pupil is partially or completely obscured. This symptom can be caused by nerve paralysis, muscle weakness, etc., but it can also be a sign of a brain tumor. When a tumor presses on the nerves that control the eyelids, it causes the eyelids to droop.
6. The visual range is limited, and the visual field is defective.
Visual field reduction is the reduction of the visible area of the eye or the loss of part of the visual field. This symptom may be associated with a brain tumor or eye tumor. The tumor compresses the optic nerve or visual center, causing a restricted or absent visual field.
What should we do when we have these symptoms in our eyes?
Seek medical attention promptly and get a full eye exam. The doctor makes a preliminary diagnosis of the patient's condition based on the patient's signs and symptoms, as well as the results of laboratory and imaging examinations. If a tumor is suspected, the doctor may recommend further tests such as CT, MRI, etc., to confirm the diagnosis.
The early signs of cancer are subtle or subtle, and they are often overlooked. The difficulty of advanced cancer is dense, the treatment path is steep, and the patient's chance of survival is significantly reduced. We should always be vigilant, pay attention to any signs of abnormality in our bodies, and seek medical attention in time.
Adopt good habits and move towards a healthy lifestyle. A balanced diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and avoiding prolonged exposure to harmful substances are all effective measures to prevent cancer. It is also important that medical check-ups are done regularly. Physical examination helps us to identify hidden physical dangers at an early stage and achieve the goal of early prevention and early treatment.
The relationship between eye symptoms and cancer.
Mr. Li is a middle-aged man who is usually busy with work and has a stressful life. In recent months, he has noticed a gradual decline in his eyesight and frequent pain in his eyeballs. At first, he thought it was just eye strain from using the computer for a long time, so he didn't pay much attention to it. As time passed, these symptoms became more and more severe, and even began to affect his work and life.
By chance, Mr. Li came across an article about the relationship between eye symptoms and cancer. He realized that he might not be just suffering from eye fatigue, so he decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. After a series of examinations and diagnoses, the doctor found that Mr. Li had a brain tumour that had compressed the optic nerve. Fortunately, due to early detection, Mr. Lee's tumor has not spread to other places. After surgery and rehabilitation, Mr. Lee's eyesight gradually returned to normal and he returned to work.
Mr. Lee's experience has taught us that when we have abnormal symptoms in our eyes, we should not take them lightly. We should seek medical attention in time to rule out the possibility of serious diseases such as cancer. At the same time, we should also maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the occurrence of cancer.
The eyes are an important window into the world and a barometer of our physical health. When we have abnormal symptoms in our eyes, we should seek medical examination in time to rule out the possibility of serious diseases such as cancer. At the same time, we should also pay attention to our physical health, maintain good living habits and a healthy lifestyle to prevent the occurrence of cancer. Only in this way can we have a healthier and better life.
