Hard yellow spots often appear on the conjunctiva of the face, which is a denatured product of epithelial cell accumulation and mucus concentration. It never calcifies, and it is a conjunctival aggregate. When it is deep, it has no discomfort. When it protrudes from the conjunctiva, it stimulates the cornea to feel foreign body, and even the cornea is scratched and eroded. Take it out with a sharp knife or foreign body needle under topical anesthesia. This disease is more common in adults, the elderly and patients with trachoma and chronic conjunctivitis.
Conjunctival calculus is the coagulation of exfoliated epithelial cells and denatured cells accumulated in conjunctival epithelial depression or deep tubular recess, and there is no or little calcium deposition, so it is not a real calculus.
Conjunctival calculus is more common in adults, mainly in patients with chronic eye diseases such as trachoma and chronic conjunctivitis, and mostly appears in the upper eyelid. There are hard yellow-white dots on the eyelid conjunctiva, which are like broken rice, some scattered in dots, and some in dense groups. At the beginning, the stone was still buried under the conjunctiva, and there were generally no conscious symptoms. Later, it gradually appeared on the conjunctival surface. Only when the induration protrudes from the conjunctiva surface can there be foreign body sensation and even corneal abrasion. In this case, it can be taken out with a knife tip or an injection needle under topical anesthesia. If there are no irritation symptoms, there is no need to deal with them. Such as trachoma, chronic conjunctivitis and other diseases, should be treated after the primary disease is stimulated. However, most patients may continue to grow new stones after removing stones, and usually need regular treatment to prevent corneal wear. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eyelid lithiasis is caused by cold stagnation in spleen meridian, eyelid stagnation, prolonged heat, burning body fluid and eyelid stagnation. Medicaments such as Neishu Huanglian Decoction can be used for treatment.
You can go to the hospital to abort. Stone removal is only a minor operation, which can be performed in an outpatient clinic without hospitalization. The operation is simple. First, use eye drops for topical anesthesia, clean the patient's eyes, and then pick out the conjunctival mass with a needle.
However, some patients may continue to grow new stones after removing stones, which is the case with Zhang Jiezhi. "Because eye stones are often caused by inflammation of the eyes, when the inflammation is not eliminated, only the stones are taken out and the source of the disease is not broken. It may happen again next time, just like acne on your face. " Eye stones have grown out again, and symptoms need continuous treatment to prevent corneal abrasions. Although there is no danger of blindness, it is also a very troublesome thing to take out eye stones frequently. Therefore, if patients want to cure the disease, they must find out the real cause. For example, Zhang Jiezhi first diagnosed whether his stones were caused by chronic keratitis, and then treated inflammation. When the inflammation disappears, the eye stone will be unsustainable.
Keep your eyes moist and prevent foreign objects from entering your eyes.
Because most eye stones are caused by inflammation, the preventive measures fall on the prevention of eye inflammation, with the focus on avoiding conjunctival irritation and inflammation. If the eyes are unwell, seek medical advice in time. Develop healthy eye hygiene habits at ordinary times, don't rub your eyes, keep your eyes moist, and prepare eye drops at any time to prevent foreign bodies from entering your eyes.
Contact lens wearers should pay attention to the disinfection and maintenance of lenses and check their eyes regularly. If they are not fit to wear contact lenses, don't try. People who work and live in the field and are vulnerable to sandstorms should wear protective glasses to prevent sandstorms from blowing directly into their eyes. Although eye calculus is only a small lesion of conjunctiva, it is a "danger signal" to remind you to pay attention to conjunctiva health.
