Baby's eyes hurt, what's going on?

If your baby has eye pain, it is very serious. This may be a symptom caused by various diseases. It is not a single disease. It is most likely caused by eye trauma or foreign body stimulation. Therefore, as long as it happens, you must go to the hospital for an eye examination in time to avoid secondary injury to your child's eyes.

Causes of eye pain

1. Ophthalmic diseases : The most common disease causing eye pain is inflammatory stimulation. Since our eyes are often open, when the body's immunity decreases, external bacteria or viruses can easily enter our eyes, causing eye inflammation and pain. Glaucoma caused by increased intraocular pressure can also cause severe eye pain. In addition, when an eye tumor presses on the eyeball, eye pain will also occur, and this pain is often persistent.

2. Eye trauma : Although the eyeball is protected by the eyelids, we have to open our eyes to see things during the day. Therefore, when danger strikes, the eyes are very likely to be "the first to be hit." When an eye is injured, there is usually severe pain in the eye, accompanied by bleeding, blurred vision, or protective closure of the eye.

3. Foreign body stimulation : The sensory system of the eye is very sensitive. As the saying goes, "You can't tolerate any sand in your eyes," it describes the eye's low tolerance to foreign bodies.

4. Nervous system diseases : The sensation of the eyes is controlled by the ophthalmic branch (optic nerve) of the trigeminal nerve. Therefore, when trigeminal neuralgia occurs, it is also accompanied by eye pain.

5. Drug poisoning : The eyes are rich in blood vessels and have adequate blood supply. When some drugs are used in excess and lead to poisoning, it is very easy to cause eye discomfort and even become the earliest sign of drug poisoning. Aminopyrine is a commonly used antipyretic drug. When it is overdose, it will cause binocular vision impairment, severe eye pain, red and swollen eyelids, difficulty closing the eyelids, small red drug rashes on the skin; conjunctival congestion, herpetic conjunctivitis; corneal infiltration and turbidity, corneal epithelial detachment in the form of small bubbles; dilated pupils, and optic nerve atrophy can be seen in the fundus.

1. Eye movement : It actually means rotating the eyeballs, from top to bottom, and then left to right. Relax your eyes for 2 minutes every time you work for 1 hour, and rotating your eyes can greatly relieve computer eye fatigue.

2. Blink : After working for 1 hour, tilt your head back and blink continuously. This can keep the blood flowing. When your eyes are slightly swollen and painful, just blinking 2-3 times every hour can provide relief.
