Dry and astringent with mucus

Dry and astringent mucus is a common ophthalmic symptom, which may bring discomfort and inconvenience to patients. The following is a detailed description of dry, astringent and mucous manifestations from the aspects of eye discomfort, visual impairment, eye pain and cough.

Eye discomfort

Dry and astringent with mucus is one of the main manifestations of dry eye. Patients often feel dry, tingling, itching and foreign body sensation. Patients may blink or rub their eyes frequently to try to relieve discomfort. The increased secretion of mucus from the eyes will form a thick excrement or eye scab, which further aggravates the patient's discomfort.

When the eyes are in a dry environment for a long time or excessively use electronic equipment, the discomfort will be more obvious. In addition, dry mucus is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as redness, eyelid swelling and thin tears.

Generally, eye discomfort can be alleviated by lubricating the eyes in time, blinking more and avoiding using electronic devices for a long time.

Visual impairment

Dry and astringent mucus may also cause visual impairment, making patients feel blurred or unclear vision. When the eyes are dry, the viscosity of tears increases, which not only affects the normal movement of the eyes, but also makes it impossible for light to be refracted into the eyes evenly.

Visual impairment may be manifested in the decline of near vision, blurred distance of farsightedness, and sensitivity of eyes to light. Patients may find it more difficult to read, use electronic devices, or focus on an object for a long time.

For patients with visual impairment, it is recommended to see a doctor in time. You can improve your vision by using artificial tears or medication.

Eye pain

Dry and astringent with mucus is often accompanied by eye pain. Eye pain may be a direct reaction of dry eyes and mucosal damage. The patient may feel pain, tingling or severe pain in the eyes, accompanied by swelling and redness of the eyelids.

Eye pain may seriously affect the daily life and work of patients, so it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time. The doctor may prescribe eyedrops, ointments or other drugs to relieve eye pain and promote the repair of eye mucosa.

cough

Dry and astringent with mucus can sometimes lead to cough symptoms. Experts from Heishan Eye Hospital said that when the eyes are dry, the reduced tears will cause the mucous membrane of the throat to dry, thus stimulating the occurrence of cough.

This kind of cough is generally temporary, which is related to the degree of dryness and mucous and the use time of eyes. When the dry eye symptoms are relieved, the cough will gradually decrease or stop.

Summary

Dry and astringent mucus is a common ophthalmic symptom, mainly manifested as eye discomfort, visual impairment, eye pain and cough. Dry and astringent patients with mucus often feel dry, tingling and itching in their eyes, and their vision will become blurred. Eye pain and cough may accompany the degree of dryness of the eyes. Therefore, patients with dry and astringent mucus should seek medical advice in time and take appropriate treatment methods to alleviate discomfort and improve vision. At ordinary times, keep the eyes moist, avoid using electronic equipment for a long time, and review the ophthalmology regularly.
