I woke up and couldn't open my eyes

People should understand that being unable to open their eyes is a helpless problem for many people, and there is no good solution. The inability to open the eyes is due to the lack of attention to eye health. Patients should strictly control their diet and lifestyle. The inability to open the eyes is the reason why many people cannot live a normal life, and it causes great damage to the eyes. In order to solve the problem of being unable to open their eyes in a timely manner, patients will go to the hospital's ophthalmology department for a comprehensive and targeted examination. Next, let’s introduce what to do if you can’t open your eyes after waking up?

The first most common reason is lack of sleep, which often happens to people who work overtime or students who are under intense study pressure. Another part of the problem is those who stay up late at night without sleeping. In this case, it's simple, just get enough sleep. If it is not absolutely necessary, don't stay up late. It is bad for your health and has no benefits.

The second is that it's time to change your sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases. These close-fitting bedding items will breed bacteria after being used for a long time. If they are not changed and washed in time, the bacteria will spread to your body. The pillow is in direct contact with the eyes. Once the bacteria on it enters the eyes, it will naturally cause the symptom of being unable to open the eyes. I saw a news report before about an old lady who hadn’t changed her pillowcase for years, which led to bacteria growth. Later, she couldn’t open her eyes and became like a blind person. Therefore, bedding should be replaced once in a while.

The third is the problem inside your eyes, such as conjunctivitis, one of the symptoms of which is inability to open the eyes; if the patient is older, it may also be facial neuritis, which is similar to facial paralysis. If this is the case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment immediately, as delaying is of no use.

The fourth is the frequent use of computers or mobile phones, which cause too strong radiation and excessive damage to the eyes. If you must use such radioactive items, such as for work needs, it is best to wash your face with clean water after use; if you do not have to use them and just want to use them for entertainment, it is recommended to limit the time you spend looking at your phone or computer to two or three hours a day.

The fifth reason is that something may have gotten into your eyes, such as sand or other particles. Sometimes when we rub our eyes, our eyelashes may fall off. This is also a reason. This is easier to deal with. Just wash away the obstruction in your eyes or ask someone to blow it out.
