12 kinds of terrible diseases that your eyes can tell you
What health problems can your eyes reveal? There are so many - some problems you can see by looking in the mirror. Dr. John C. Hagan (III), an ophthalmologist at a private clinic in Kansas City, Missouri, explained the symptoms he looked at when he was examining the patient – ​​you can also see it in your own eyes. .
Eyes prominent
The doctor said that the disease is called exophthalmia, and the prominent eye is a common symptom of Graves' disease, also known as hyperthyroidism. In addition to prominent eyes, patients with Graves' disease often show weight loss, anxiety, pulse tachycardia or irregularities. As for the eyes in the picture, it is a little greenish. It is a problem with the light in the room, not the symptoms of Graves' disease.
Gray ring around the cornea
Not only will the hair turn grey, but the edges of the cornea will turn grey. Doctors call this ring an arc senilis, often associated with high cholesterol and high triglycerides, which increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Anyone with this symptom should check the blood to see if the blood fat is too high - especially those under the age of 60.
Eye opacity
This is a cataract - the lens inside the eye is covered with cloud spots. This symptom is most common in the elderly and can be corrected by surgery. But for a variety of reasons, such as cancer, diabetes and the side effects of certain drugs, cataracts can also occur in young people.
skin cancer
Basal cell carcinoma can occur in many unexpected places on the body, including the eyelids, which often cause skin ulcers, inability to heal, and lashes. But don't underestimate the disease. Although basal cell carcinoma is usually not fatal, it can be disfigured or cause blindness in severe cases. If cancer cells reach the brain through the eyelids, they may be fatal.
Oily skin
 Although it looks like a skin tumor from the outside, it is actually a blocked sebaceous gland. Often referred to as meibomian gland cysts, this hard, painless mass usually grows out quickly within a few days and is most common in people with oily skin.
Myasthenia gravis
The drooping of the eyelids on both sides (capillary ptosis) may be a sign of myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease with symptoms of muscle weakness. This potentially fatal disease can be well treated, but it is difficult to diagnose when the symptoms are not obvious.
The patient diagnosed by the ophthalmologist on the map can hardly open the eyelids.
AIDS
By looking at the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, an ophthalmologist can diagnose various diseases and health problems. One disease that ophthalmologists can sometimes confirm is AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which, as shown, can cause severe or potentially blinding retinal inflammation.
Horner syndrome
 This patient's eyes may exhibit a combination of the following dangers: the drooping eyelids (capsules) and the pupils of both eyes are different in size (uneven pupils). If you see this in the mirror, you should see a doctor right away. Doctors refer to this condition as Horner's syndrome, sometimes associated with neck tumors and aneurysms.
hypertension
 Ophthalmologists can detect signs of high blood pressure by looking at the retina. The pressure causes microvascular knuckles to bend in the retina, as indicated by an arrow in the figure, and the other arrows in the figure refer to the "depression" in the retinal vein, called the arteriovenous local constriction. The risk of a severe stroke in this person is very high.
Marfan syndrome
 Marfan syndrome is a genotypic connective tissue disease. A common feature of Marfan syndrome is that the patient is tall, thin, and usually has a slender finger. Occasionally, an ophthalmologist can diagnose the disease by observing changes in the characteristics of the linear tissue that fixes the lens (the doctors call it "Sunrise Syndrome").
It is essential that Marfan syndrome is detected as early as possible because the disease is usually associated with weakened blood vessel walls in the aorta. The rupture of the aorta can be fatal. In fact, Olympic volleyball actress Flo Hyman died of the disease.
Metastatic cancer
Sometimes cancer in other parts of the body is first manifested in the eye. The two most common types of cancer that spread across the eyes are: male lung cancer and female breast cancer.
diabetes
Many people don't know that they have diabetes. But the disease can often warn the retina and the ophthalmologist can check it out.
In this eye on the picture, diabetes has caused microscopic bleeding in the retina and deposition of yellow blood lipids. This disease is called diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetes (continued)
This eye is characterized by diabetic retinopathy, which is the main cause of low vision and blindness. This patient needs laser treatment to restore vision.
