Tears, fear of light crying, baby may be trichiasis

Trichiasis: refers to the growth of the eyelashes to the rear, which leads to an abnormal condition of the eyeball. Trichiasis is a common external eye disease among children, adolescents, and the elderly. It is mainly due to the abnormal growth direction of eyelashes. Abnormal growth direction of the eyelashes, especially the lashes of the inverted corneal surface, not only often rubbing the corneal epithelium, causing foreign body sensation, photophobia, tearing and other symptoms, but also cause eyeball congestion, conjunctivitis, corneal epithelial shedding, keratitis, cornea Vasospasm, corneal ulcers, walleyes, and then affect vision.

Why is it easy for baby to pour lashes?

Trichiasis in infants and young children, the following mainly trichiasis, the main reason is that many babies have varus in the lower eyelid.

Most infants and young children are relatively fat, and the fat face is very cute. But because of the plump little face and the underdeveloped nose, the child's lower eyelid can be in a state of mild inversion, so that the lashes that grow on the eyelashes touch the baby's black eye inwards—that is, The doctor said the cornea.

The cornea stimulated by trichiasis can cause infants to have tears in their eyes and to rub their eyes with their hands, causing inflammation of the eyes. Therefore, trichiasis has become a common external eye disease in infants and young children.

What is the negative effect of trichiasis on the eyes of infants and young children?

Abnormal growth direction of the eyelashes, especially the lashes of the inverted corneal surface, not only often rubbing the corneal epithelium, causing the baby's eyes have foreign body sensation, photophobia, tearing and other symptoms, but also cause eyeball congestion, conjunctivitis, keratitis, and then affect vision.

However, for most babies, because the hair is still relatively soft, although it touches the cornea, the damage to the cornea is generally not too large, so the trichiasis of infants generally has little effect on their vision development. The common symptoms are mainly tears and rubbing eyes.

General children's trichiasis is harmless, most of the trichiasis can be restored to the right position

In children's daily lives, trichiasis in children is more common. "Because infants and young children face short fat, nasal bones have not yet developed, eyelids (commonly known as eyelids) more fat, thicker rim, easy to make lashes inward rewind, resulting in trichiasis." Song Ling said that the majority of infants eyelashes slender Soft, combined with more tear secretion in children, tears are also more viscous, because the baby blinks from time to time, trichiasis in addition to cause tears, most will not cause corneal damage.

Baby's delicate and soft lashes will bring tears to various parts of the cornea (black eyeballs). The cornea is avascular, and its nutrient supply is mainly supplied by tears. In this way, eyelashes can help the cornea to obtain nutrition, so ordinary children Trichiasis is harmless. As the baby's age increases, the face becomes longer, and the development of the nasal bones, most of the trichiasis can be restored to the right position.

If infants and young children develop symptoms of increased eye secretion, inflammation of the conjunctiva appears.

At this point, eye drops need to be used in combination to reduce the inflammatory response.

If the baby has symptoms such as photophobia and tearing, it may indicate that the cornea is damaged.

It is advisable to go to the hospital for an examination. The doctor checks the degree of corneal damage and treats it symptomatically. Many infants and young children with age, the development of the bridge of the nose, trichiasis will disappear on their own, do not have to rush to surgery. However, there are a few children with trichiasis that persist.

If young children still have significant trichiasis when they reach 5-6 years of age, severely irritating the cornea and causing obvious symptoms, trichiasis can be considered.

As the age increases, the tougher the hair of infants and young children, the more obvious the symptoms of corneal irritation, the greater the damage to the cornea; if not corrected, it will cause serious corneal disease, and then affect vision.

Here is a special need to remind parents that the baby does not have to pour lashes at home can not cut down the eyelashes or pull off eyelashes Oh! Because the direction in which the trimmed eyelashes and newly-grown lashes grow backwards does not change, but the hair is tougher than before, so the damage to the cornea is even greater!
