Black spots in the child's eyes

Many people know that black spots on children’s eyes are a helpless problem for many people, and there is no good solution. The dark spots in children's eyes are caused by not paying attention to eye health, so their lifestyle and diet must be strictly controlled. Black spots on children’s eyes prevent many people from enjoying life and cause serious damage to their eyes. In order to get rid of the black spots in children's eyes, people will go to the hospital's ophthalmology department for a comprehensive examination. Next, what are the reasons for black spots in children's eyes?

1. Blue whites of eyes

Medically known as blue sclera. This symptom is mostly caused by chronic iron deficiency. Iron is a very important substance in the collagen tissue on the surface of the sclera. Iron deficiency can cause the sclera to become thinner. When the sclera cannot cover the dark blue choroid under the sclera, the white of the eye will appear blue. Chronic iron deficiency will inevitably lead to iron deficiency anemia. Therefore, if your child's whites of the eyes are bluish-white, please give your child iron supplements regularly.

2. Redness of the whites of the eyes

Congestion is usually caused by inflammation caused by bacterial or viral infection. If accompanied by symptoms such as discharge, foreign body sensation, itching and eye pain, you should go to the hospital's ophthalmology department for diagnosis and treatment. In addition, people with high blood pressure or heart failure will experience symptoms of redness and congestion in the whites of their eyes. If the white of one eye turns red, you should pay attention to whether it is infected.

3. Yellowing of the whites of the eyes

To prove the presence of jaundice, newborns with jaundice usually need to be exposed to blue light. If older children still have yellowing whites of their eyes, liver problems such as infectious liver disease and biliary tract disease may be considered.

4. Blood flakes appear in the whites of the eyes

If blood flakes or clots appear in the whites of a child's eyes, it is often caused by subconjunctival hemorrhage, which is sometimes caused by trauma. Another cause is conjunctivitis.

5. Bloodshot eyes

If there are blood vessels running horizontally in the upper part of the child's white eyeball, forming an "I" shape, this means that the child has a digestive system disease. For children with milder digestive system diseases, bloodshot eyes will appear in the upper half of the white of the eye and run vertically toward the pupil.

6. Dark circles on the whites of the eyes

Sometimes you can see a black circle slightly larger than the black dot on the white of a child's eye. This means that there is a lump on the child's body. Be careful of tumors.

7. Eye Ascaris

If a child has blue, dark blue or purple-brown round spots about the size of a large needle head next to the tips of the small blood vessels on the whites of his or her eyes, this can be diagnosed as ascariasis. If the spots are large, it means they are adults; if the spots are small, it means they are larvae; more spots means more insects; fewer spots means fewer insects.

8. Purple spots on the whites of the eyes

If a child's upper ends and edges of the capillaries in the whites of their eyes appear with various light purple, cloudy patches, this can be diagnosed as hookworm disease. Larger plaques indicate a more severe infection, while smaller plaques indicate a less severe infection.

9. Black spots on the whites of the eyes

If one or several circular black spots with a diameter of 1 to 3 mm appear in the white area of ​​the upper left and right sides of the child's eyes, pinworm disease can be diagnosed.
