How to remove eyelid fissures

Eyelid fissure plaque is a skin problem caused by aging or the conjunctiva in the eyelid fissure is often exposed to the outside. It usually appears in the form of plaques and occasionally there is inflammation. Eyelid fissure pingueculae generally do not require treatment. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to relieve the symptoms, and surgical treatment can be used in special circumstances. Below, we will introduce in detail the symptoms, treatment options, prevention methods and other related knowledge of eye palpebral fissures.

1. Basic introduction to eye palpebral fissures

The palpebral fissure plaque is caused by long-term exposure of the bulbar conjunctiva in the palpebral fissure to external stimuli or senile degeneration. A triangular raised plaque appears on the bulbar conjunctiva near the corneal margin in the palpebral fissure, with the base of the triangle facing the cornea. Occasionally, it is accompanied by local inflammation.

Pingueculae are yellow nodules located on both sides of the cornea (more common on the nasal side) in the palpebral fissure area of ​​adults. Contains yellow transparent elastic tissue. May be caused by UV or actinic exposure.

2. Key points for diagnosis of eye palpebral fissures

1. A triangular yellow bulge forms on the bulbar conjunctiva at the palpebral fissure, with its base facing the cornea.

2. The lesion is stationary and does not invade the cornea.

3. There are usually no subjective symptoms. Occasionally, the wound may rupture due to excessive proliferation of elastic fibers, and there may be irritation symptoms.

3. Symptoms and signs of eyelid fissures

A triangular raised patch appears on the bulbar conjunctiva near the corneal margin at the palpebral fissure, with the base of the triangle facing the cornea. Occasionally accompanied by local inflammation.

Treatment of eyelid fissures

Usually no treatment is needed. If blepharitis occurs, local eye drops of weaker corticosteroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Resection may be considered when it affects appearance, causes recurrent chronic inflammation, or interferes with the wearing of contact lenses.

5. Prevention methods of eyelid fissures

Therefore, you should pay attention to eye hygiene to avoid inflammation. You can also use some general anti-inflammatory eye drops, such as kanamycin eye drops, Runshu (chloramphenicol), etc.

6. Safety Tips

This disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. Because there are no blood vessels in the leucoderma, it is more obvious. The pathological changes are hyaline degeneration and elastic fiber hyperplasia of the conjunctival parenchyma. The lesions are static, do not affect vision, and do not require treatment.
