What to do when something interferes with the eye

The feeling that something is interfering with the eye is a common symptom. It can indicate a variety of diseases of the organs of vision. But not only eye diseases can be the cause of the feeling that something is interfering with the eye. Nervous ailments, as a result of which the mechanism of transfer of impulse going from the organs of vision to the brain is damaged, can also provoke pain, lacrimation, photophobia and other unpleasant sensations.

Understanding the reasons

Various kinds of inflammation - the first thing that an ophthalmologist suspects when he heard that the patient complained that something is hindering him in the eye. Acute conjunctivitis is the first of many diagnoses faced by doctors who treat the eyes. This disease occurs due to pathogenic microorganisms (cocci, micrococci, hay bacillus and others) that multiply on the mucous membrane of the eye. A microbial attack, in turn, is often a consequence of the weakness of the body's immune response. Injuries to the mucosa and cornea, non-compliance with hygiene requirements and the regime of changing contact lenses are also common causes of conjunctival disease.

SSG

Dry eye syndrome is very common among mental workers. After all, almost all of their jobs are now equipped with a computer. Prolonged eye contact with the monitor means that the organs of vision have an increased load. Muscles, which are responsible for the mobility of the eyeball, for a long time are in a static position. In addition, when a person looks at something for a long time and tensely, the blinking (in the process of which the cornea is wetted by a tear fluid) becomes very rare. The lack of air conditioning, dustiness of premises and use of lenses make the appearance of the syndrome much more likely. To reduce the burden on the eyes can be, if more often to ventilate the workplace, perform gymnastics for the eyes, as well as monitor the general condition of the body. For the final diagnosis of the syndrome, ophthalmic tests should be performed and tests taken. In some cases, you need to inject special dyes into the eye to assess the effectiveness of tearing. Some systemic diseases (including hormonal), chronic fatigue and frequent vascular headaches can greatly complicate the diagnosis of eye diseases

The insidious parasite

Rarely, but it happens that the causative agent of an infectious eye disease becomes the Demodex mite. To put the exact diagnosis the doctor-dermatologist will help. One of the true signs of demodicosis is the intensification of itching (especially the eyelids and the eyelash region) near the heat sources (lamps, batteries) and in the sun.

Nerve diseases and their effect on the organs of vision

Consultation of the ophthalmologist can not reveal the reasons for the eruptions in the eyes. In this case, the patient will be referred to a neurologist who will eliminate diseases of the facial nerves. After all, their pathology can also serve as a source of the feeling that something is interfering with the eye. In this case, the treatment will be systemic rather than local. Another reason for unpleasant sensations in the eyeballs may be a neurotic obsession with one's body. In this case, a person suffering from such a pathology can feel a tingling or "goose-skin" for no apparent reason. Or for a long time after the cause was safely eliminated. Such neurotic symptoms should be treated after the physiological cause of eye problems has been ruled out. Probably, in some cases simple auto-training will help, in others it is necessary to undergo a course of desensitization.
