Eye Problems? Here’s What It Says About Your Health
You might have an infection
Do you usually wear contact lenses instead of glasses? Then look out for white spots on the cornea of your eye. This is a common occurrence among people who wear contact lenses and might be an indicator of a corneal infection.
Moreover, make sure you don’t wear lenses with expired shelf life or daily contact lenses for longer than recommended, particularly overnight. It might result in small injuries to your eyes and cause corneal infection and then corneal ulcer.
You’re extremely stressed
Stress can take different forms, one of which is an eye twitch, also called myokymia. Eye twitches are not painful but they sure are annoying and frustrating, especially when they seem to come out of nowhere and in the most inappropriate of moments.
This tic occurs when the muscles and nerves around the eye are stimulated and might be a sign that you need to take care of yourself more and lower your stress levels. Most eye twitches go away after a certain period of time, but you could also speed things up by drinking less caffeine, alcohol and find ways to relax like yoga or meditation.
You could suffer from diabetes
If your vision is blurry, it might be an indicator you need glasses. More than a sign of myopia or a medical problem with the eye, a blurred vision can also indicate a more serious health issue, such as diabetes.
According to a 2017 study, 73 percent of diabetic patients had blurred vision and trouble seeing properly. To make sure you’re not missing the signs of diabetes, go to your ophthalmologist for an eye exam. Based on the irregularities in your eyes, or lack thereof, he will be able to tell you everything you need to know about your health condition.
