What to do when something interferes with the eye

Feeling like something is interfering in the eye -common symptom. It may indicate many diseases of the organs of vision. But not only eye diseases can cause the sensation that something is interfering in the eye. Nervous diseases, as a result of which the mechanism of impulse transmission from the organs of vision to the brain can be damaged, can also provoke sting, tearing, photophobia and other unpleasant sensations.

Understanding the reasons

Various kinds of inflammation - the first thingthe ophthalmologist will suspect, having heard that the patient complained that something interferes with him in an eye. Acute conjunctivitis is the first of many diagnoses faced by doctors who treat the eyes. This disease is caused by pathogenic microorganisms (cocci, micrococci, hay sticks, and others), which multiply on the mucous membrane of the eye. Microbial attack, in turn, is often the result of a weak immune response. Injuries to the mucous and corneas, non-compliance with hygienic requirements and a regime for changing contact lenses are also common causes of conjunctival disease.

SSG

Dry eye syndrome is very common amongknowledge workers. After all, almost all of their jobs in our time are equipped with a computer. Prolonged eye contact with the monitor means that the eye has an increased load. The muscles that are responsible for the mobility of the eyeball for a long time are in a static position. In addition, when a person stares at something for a long time and intensely, blinking (during which the cornea is moistened with tear fluid) becomes very rare.

Lack of air conditioning, dustiness of the room anduse of lenses makes the appearance of the syndrome much more likely. It is possible to reduce the load on the eyes, if you often ventilate the workplace, perform exercises for the eyes, as well as control the general condition of the body. For the final diagnosis of the syndrome, it is necessary to carry out ophthalmologic tests and pass tests. In some cases, it is necessary to introduce special dyes into the eye in order to evaluate the effectiveness of tear formation. Some systemic diseases (including hormonal), chronic fatigue and frequent vascular headaches can greatly complicate the diagnosis of diseases of the organs of vision

Insidious parasite

Rarely, but it happens that the causative agentInfectious eye disease becomes Demodex mite. An dermatologist will help to make an accurate diagnosis. One of the sure signs of demodicosis is increased itching (especially the eyelids and eyelash region are affected) near heat sources (lamps, batteries) and the sun.

Nervous diseases and their effects on the organs of vision

Consultation with an oculist may not reveal the reasons.pain in the eyes. In this case, the patient will be referred to a neurologist, who will rule out diseases of the facial nerves. After all, their pathology can also serve as a source of the feeling that something is interfering in the eye.

In this case, the treatment will be more systemic thanlocal. Another cause of discomfort in the eyeballs may be neurotic obsession with one’s body. In this case, a person suffering from a similar pathology may feel tingling or "goose bumps" for no apparent reason. Or for a long time after the cause has been safely eliminated. Similar neurotic symptoms should be treated after the physiological cause of eye problems has been ruled out. Perhaps, in some cases, simple auto-training will help, in others it is necessary to undergo a course of desensitization.
