What reason is trichiasis

summary

During my internship, I have seen children constantly wipe tears, eyelashes are a lot of people are very concerned about the problem, at first, I thought the child was sick and crying, or was scolded by parents or how. But later I learned that it was eye disease. Trichiasis, its eyelashes are touching the eyeball. It can cause irritation, itching or blinking. Some people's cornea is stronger, even if the eyelashes stab the cornea, soon grow better. So look at her tears from time to time. Choose me to share with you some common knowledge about the disease.

What reason is trichiasis

First, congenital trichiasis. Congenital trichiasis is born with trichiasis, usually in the lower eyelid. Because the eyelashes pierce the eyeball, the baby often blinks and tears. If the eyelashes pierce the cornea, the eyes will be red and afraid of light.

Second: trachoma. The most common is caused by trachoma. Because trachoma can cause eyelid plate conjunctival scar, leading to entropion and trichiasis.

Third: eye injury. Eye burns, eyelid trauma or eyelid surgery, will also cause eyelid scarring, so that the normal trichiasis stabbed to the eyeball. In addition, eye diseases such as pemphigoid, but also because of the eyelid conjunctival scar and cause trichiasis.

matters needing attention

Abrasion and bacterial infection. The cornea is relatively unhealthy in older people. If long-term by trichiasis stab wear, coupled with bacterial infection, may cause corneal ulceration.
