Eyesore

The opacity of the cornea forms a thorn in the eye. This disease is called leukoma, and it is caused by scar changes on the horny ocular membrane. This process of scarring gradually leads to loss of the cornea's transparency and the ability to pass light unimpeded. Belmo in the eye acquires a porcelain-white color, which after a time changes its color into a shade of yellowish color.

Belmo can affect human vision in different ways. Sometimes he partially loses sight. But there is also the onset of complete blindness. The visual acuity is affected by the size of the belly and its location on the cornea. If it is in the center opposite the pupil and has large dimensions, then it threatens with serious complications. If the cloudiness is to a certain extent removed from the center, then the effect on vision in this case is minimal.

Very often a thorn in the eye is very small, and many people do not even suspect his presence. It can only be viewed with the help of special equipment. Therefore, not all pay attention to the slight loss of visual acuity.

In rare cases, leukemia is congenital, caused by some inflammatory process of intrauterine development. Basically, the eyesore has an acquired character. Because of the possible course of the inflammatory process of the cornea, it is also possible the appearance of a large number of scars on it. So-called keratitis forms. According to its origin, it is tubercular or syphilitic. In both cases, keratitis contributes to the volume scarring of the eye cornea.

The opacity of the cornea can occur as a result of her injury or chemical burn. The most dangerous for eyesight is an alkaline burn. The result after such a burn is often very sad. The eyes of a person can only feel the light and nothing more.

As a result of a penetrating eye trauma, soldering of the iris and cornea can occur. On this soil, the pupil becomes clouded.

An unsuccessfully performed ophthalmic operation can also lead to the appearance of a thorn.

Treatment of this eye ailment in most cases is operational. With the help of surgery, the patient is transplanted to the donor cornea. As a result, the quality of vision is greatly improved.

In the event that a thorn in the eye is traumatic or burned, then the severity of the damaged cornea plays a big role here. If the epithelium of the cornea has undergone massive destruction, and multiple denudation of nerves has occurred, the doctor installs an intraocular protective lens. Of course, vision can not be completely restored. However, there are some advantages. This is the reduction of photophobia, and lowering of lacrimation, and, finally, the acquisition of greater self-confidence. If the opacity of the cornea is not so clearly expressed, the patient is treated with conservative treatment.

There are also some ways of folk treatment of the eyes on the eye. For example, you need to take in equal proportions honey and juice of onions, and this mixture to dig in the affected eye. It is also possible to use breastmilk for breastfeeding, but only necessarily fresh.

The defeat of the eye in the form of a thorn is affected not only by people, but also by animals. Treatment in such cases is difficult, because the animal can not bring to the attention of a person their feelings. For example, a thorn in the dog's eye may occur due to damage to the upper film of the eye due to some accidental impact. As a result, it loses its transparency and acquires a white color. Treatment is not always successful. But nevertheless, some folk methods are used. Can also help such a tool. A drop of honey is added to the penicillin vial, and then it is diluted with water. Eye wash with this solution should be throughout the day, and every next day you need to add one drop of honey and so you need to reach forty drops. Another method is to use powdered sugar as powder for the damaged eye. In any case, one of the methods should alleviate the condition of the animal.
