Eye stones

Introduction to ocular stones The ocular stone is a multiple hard yellow spot on the palpebral conjunctiva, which is a denatured product of epithelial cell accumulation and mucus concentration intrusion. It is never calcified and is a conjunctival agglutination. When protruding from the conjunctiva, the cornea is stimulated to produce a foreign body sensation, and even the cornea is eroded. Under topical anesthesia, with a sharp knife or foreign body needle, the disease is more common in adults, the elderly and trachoma and chronic conjunctivitis patients. Conjunctival calculi are more common in adults, mainly in patients with chronic eye diseases such as trachoma and chronic conjunctivitis. Most of them appear in the upper eyelids. There are hard yellow-white small dot-like protrusions on the conjunctiva, which are like broken rice and some scattered. It is dotted or can be densely integrated. The initial position is deeper, and the stone is buried under the conjunctiva. Generally, there is no self-consciousness. Later, it gradually appears on the surface of the conjunctiva. Only when the induration protrudes from the surface of the conjunctiva, there is a foreign body sensation and even a corneal abrasion. In this case, Under topical anesthesia, use a knife tip or an injection needle to remove it. If there is no irritation, it may not be treated. If complicated by trachoma, chronic conjunctivitis and other diseases, the primary disease should be treated after provocation. However, most patients may continue to develop new stones after removing the stones, often requiring frequent treatment to prevent the cornea from being worn. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the stone in the sputum is the spleen meridian in the spleen, the sputum in the sputum, the stagnation of the sputum, the stagnation of the spleen and the sputum stagnation. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.005%-0.008% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: chronic dacryocystitis dacryocystitis

Symptoms of ocular stones common symptoms eyelid foreign body eye pain

The ocular stone is a multiple hard yellow spot on the palpebral conjunctiva. This is a denatured product of epithelial cell accumulation and mucus concentration and infusion. It is never calcified, but is a conjunctival agglutination. It is mostly found in the upper palate and is on the conjunctiva. Hard yellow-white small dot-like protrusions, like broken rice, some scattered in a point shape, but also densely integrated. The initial position is deeper, and the stone is buried under the conjunctiva. Generally, there is no self-consciousness. Later, it gradually appears on the surface of the conjunctiva. Only when the induration protrudes from the surface of the conjunctiva, it has a foreign body sensation and even causes corneal abrasion.

Diagnosis and diagnosis of ocular stones

When the calculus is just a small particle buried under the conjunctiva and does not protrude beyond the surface of the conjunctiva, the patient itself does not feel the presence of the stone, and can temporarily ignore it. When it "takes" out of the head, it will cause irritation to the eyelids, and even cause the cornea to be scratched, making people feel that the eyes have foreign bodies and stings, and they can go to the hospital to pick it up.
