Isolation of tears or lacrimation is a normal function of the eye. If lacrimation becomes excessive, then it indicates a violation in the state of the body or diseases. Next, you will learn about the possible causes of this phenomenon and how to get rid of excessive tearing.
A condition that can be called a "sudden tearing of the eyes" is not considered normal. And in that when at home or on the street you begin to cry and you feel a sharp pain in eyes, the blame is most likely inflammatory phenomena on the cornea and mucous eyes. The causes of excessive tearing can be:
1.Nervous breakdown, stress. If the drugs and eye drops prescribed to you by an ophthalmologist do not help, and the problem of excessive tearing annoys you for more than a month, then you should seek help from a psychologist or neurologist. Most likely, your disease is psychosomatic.
2.Conjunctivitis: viral, bacterial or allergic. You cannot diagnose yourself. Therefore, it is worth paying a visit to the ophthalmologist.
3.Allergies: seasonal or, for example, cosmetics. Seasonal allergies can be a serious problem. In the spring and summer the eyes begin to itch, blush and water. The doctor in this case makes the diagnosis of "allergic conjunctivitis." And if the cause of burning in the eyes was used cosmetics (for example, eye shadow, mascara), then without regret get rid of it. It is not worth the money that you pay for treating allergies.
4.Causes of excessive tearing are injury or foreign body entry. Independently do something in this case is not worth it. You can hurt yourself. It is better to see a doctor immediately.
5.Cold. A number of viral diseases can cause redness of the eyes and their excessive tearing. You need to drink more warm liquids and, if possible, observe bed rest. A doctor’s consultation is necessary.
6.Fungus, demodex mite. Uninterrupted itching in the eye area can be caused by parasites or fungus. To establish their presence is possible only during the medical examination.
7.Unsuitable glasses or contact lenses. Independently to choose glasses or contact lenses is difficult. This should be done by an ophthalmologist using special equipment. In addition, the lenses should only be cleaned and disinfected with high quality liquids from reliable manufacturers.
8.Age changes. After 50 years, increased lachrymation of the eyes is considered a natural phenomenon: the structure and work of the lacrimal canal changes, muscles weaken. This problem is called "dry eye syndrome". To be treated it is necessary under the supervision of a doctor with the use of drops that replace the tear.
There are many different ways to get rid of this problem. How to treat excessive tearing you should ask not relatives and friends because their advice cannot replace the truly qualified help of an experienced doctor. The treatment of excessive tearing should be taken very seriously, so as not to miss the time and not lose sight.
Having established an accurate diagnosis, an ophthalmologist will be able to prescribe effective medications for excessive tearing. The results of your examination (smear from the conjunctiva, various tests) will give him the opportunity to understand what eye drops you need - moisturizing or antibacterial. If excessive lachrymation is caused by a corneal burn as a result of the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays (in the solarium, when the welding machine is operating), the doctor can prescribe antiseptics for eye washing, drops with anesthetics or antibiotic ointment.
Often when you caught a cold excessive tearing is manifested. This is explained simply. The matter is that the catarrhal disease causes swelling of the nasal mucosa and a significant narrowing of the nasal passages. At the same time, the tear-off function is disrupted. Therefore, a runny nose often has excessive tearing. For its prevention, you should try not to catch cold, in every way strengthening the body. In addition, for the prevention of rubbing and excessive lacrimation, you can use Lotemax. It will help to improve and normalize metabolic processes in the tissues of the eye. Now you know what cause excessive tearing and how to cope with it.
