Eye mucus

People always ignore various small details in life and miss the best time to treat certain diseases of the body. There is another type of person who treats all small things as big illnesses and always feels that he or she has an incurable disease. Both of these people have a wrong attitude towards life. For example, two people may have completely different attitudes towards eye boogers. But it also shows their lack of knowledge.

Is eye mucus considered a disease? How much eye mucus is normal? What symptoms of eye mucus are considered a serious illness? Because most people don't know this knowledge, they can only worry or not care. The following is some relevant knowledge about eye mucus.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that too much eye mucus is caused by heat in the liver meridian, stagnation of liver qi, and internal internal fire. Therefore, using appropriate Chinese medicine to regulate the body, paying attention to diet, and avoiding spicy and hot foods can all help reduce the production of eye mucus. When normal people wake up in the morning or wash their faces, they will find a very small amount of secretions in the corners of their eyes. This is related to the reduced eyelid movement, reduced tear secretion, and slow discharge during sleep at night.

The normal eye secretions of a person mainly come from the lacrimal glands, meibomian glands, mucus secreted by ocular surface cells, and desquamated ocular surface epithelial cells. Most of them are transparent or light white and are usually not easy to detect. Because the amount of secretions is small and can be discharged from the tear duct in time, it will not cause eye discomfort. Usually, if you use your eyes for a long time without rest, the secretion of the eyes will increase, and eye mucus will usually accumulate in the corners of the eyes after a few hours.

Therefore, we should pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid excessive eye fatigue. Every once in a while, we can gently touch the corners of our eyes with our fingers to see if there is any accumulated eye mucus. If so, we can wipe it off with a tissue to maintain a good image. If excessive eye mucus is secreted for a long time and contains pus, blood, water or stickiness, it may be an eye disease. You should go to the hospital for examination so that appropriate treatment measures can be taken.

From the above introduction, we can understand that normal people will have eye mucus after waking up, which is normal, but if it develops to a certain extent, you need to seek medical attention in time and not be careless. This is a warning to the two types of people mentioned at the beginning: they should not care too much, nor should they ignore it at all. You must be careful about how you treat your physical condition and look at small things like eye boogers correctly.
