Myth About Eye Disease

Many misleading myths about eye diseases that often plunges the sufferer. Treat yourself eye diseases do not always safe and needs to watch out, because not all the same disorders and eye disease cure. If any complaint should immediately consult a doctor. Myth one about eye diseases such as below;

Red eye diseases caused by dust

Not always true. More often red-eye is caused by germs. We suspected as red eye infection if it occurs in certain seasons in which many people are affected by red eye. Could well have been an outbreak of red eye in a city or region.

However, red-eye can also be caused by dust. Dust, sand, dirt, soap, can cause red eyes. However, it should be distinguished with a red eye because of infection.

On the red eye infection, in addition to itching, discomfort jammed like there is sand, lots of shedding tears, and his red eyes are increasingly growing. May be accompanied by swelling of the eyelids, and when I wake up the eyes of meetings, lots of dirt eyes (belekan).
Red eyes because the dust is usually not belekan, rarely swollen, and red the day tend to fade and can be eased themselves. Red eye infection is difficult to heal itself without medication. Eye infections diseases may not necessarily cause a red eye. People call it a white eye infections. The red part of the eyelids (conjunctiva palpebra), not the whites of his eyes. Statement, also the cause of seed infection, ranging from viruses, germs, until the mushrooms.

Bintitan because often peek

Not true. Not because people so often peeking bintitan. It's also quite an eye infection. The difference with the red eye disease, ailment seeds instead lodged in the mucous membrane of the eyeball or eyelid, but the glands in the eyelid. We know there are a few of the eyelid glands, such as tear glands, oil glands wetting eyelashes. If the gland is entered germs, it will form ulcers. Boils these glands which cause disease bintit (hordeolum).

Bintit should not be allowed to linger without treatment. Why? Therefore if the boil already petrified, it is difficult to deflate back despite treatment. Late bintit treat, requiring surgery to remove stones boil.

Disease farsightedness can be treated with a lot of eating carrots

Wrong. We know that diseases are caused by nearsightedness is not exactly a shadow falling on the retina (the screen of the eyeball). In this myopia eye disorders, the shadow that we see the fall in front of the retina. This situation can be caused by abnormalities of the cornea (black eyes), disorders of the lens, or the axis of the eyeball.

Eyeball is too big (like kids today), making the axis of the eyeball is longer than normal. That's what makes the shadow that we see are always falling in front of the retina, so the shadow does not seem obvious, but vague when looking at distant. No matter when looked at closely.

Carrots and other useful sources of vitamin A to cells in the retina of the screen (the back of the eyeball), the image we see captured and sent to the brain to interpret.

Retinal cells, in addition to capturing the light-dark vision, as well as for color. If the cause of disorders of the eye is a disorder of retinal nerve cells, it makes sense carrots can help. However, nearsightedness is more often caused by changing the axis of the eyeball. Partly because the offspring.

Abnormalities of the eyeball axis is only possible normalized by correcting the eyeball axis is too long, so that appropriate shadow falls on the retina.

You do this by giving auxiliary lens (lens minus) of the results that we see the shadow falling exactly on the retina. Increasingly too long axis of the eyeball, so the farther shadows fall in front of the retina, the greater the minus lens that needs to be given assistance.

Not everyone in life needs glasses

Also not true. People whose eyes are healthy and normal even after the age of 40 years passed, will require reading glasses for farsightedness (presbyopia). Farsightedness is not a disease, but part of the aging process. Like it or not, everyone will experience nearsightedness. For that we need help with reading glasses (positive lenses). The more aged, the greater the reading glasses are needed, so that the healthy reading distance (33 cm) one can clearly read.
In people with sore eyes, might have needed glasses since childhood. Eye minus the offspring generally had experienced since she was a primary school. This case can not be cured without glasses. If myopia is left, the minus will quickly increase. Myopia nearsighted eye disease can not be reduced, let alone back again like a normal eye, despite already wearing glasses.

Night blindness can be corrected by wearing glasses

Wrong. Night blindness disease, ie they are disturbed to see the dark (after sunset), can not be corrected with glasses. Night blindness disease occurs when nerve cells light-dark difference in the retina disrupted. This generally occurs because vitamin A deficiency for a long time. Malnourished children, who are generally less eat sources of vitamin A which is a lot of fish, milk, vegetables, and fruits, many suffer from night blindness. So, how is not corrected with glasses, but by giving extra vitamin A doses.
