look out! Use it to wash your eyes, or you will be infected!

      Now on some online shopping platforms, anchors with goods claim that makeup, wearing contact lenses, and air pollution will let "dirty things" enter the eyes, while eyewash can remove the "garbage" in the eyes and make the eyes brighter.

小心! 用它洗你的眼睛,不然你会感染的!

  However, is it true?

  The eye is an organ with "cleanliness addiction" and has the ability to clean itself.

  People blink at ordinary times (also known as blink reaction), which is an important protective reflex action of the nervous system, can make tears evenly distributed on the cornea and conjunctiva to keep the eyes moist. Normal people blink once every 2 to 6 seconds.

  Necrosis caused by its own metabolic activity leads to cells, tissues or other external dust, floating objects, etc., which will be washed out of the eyes through tears.

  Therefore, as long as the tear secretion is normal, it can meet the needs of cleaning eyes in daily life.

  As for the claim that eyewash can wash away the "garbage" in the eyes, eyewash can only wash away the "eye excrement" (eyelid gland secretion) that is not yet dry, even if not washed, it will eventually be discharged from the eyes.

  So when do I need to wash my eyes?

  When the conjunctiva and cornea are damaged or before eye surgery, the foreign bodies or secretions in the conjunctival sac can be removed by flushing the eyes to ensure the surgical effect.

  The whole eye washing process requires the use of a special eye washing machine for professional surgery.

  ”Some stars wash their eyes in the live broadcast, put the laundry cup on their eyes, turn their eyes, and wash them for about 20 seconds.

  This "ponding" washing method may bring the bacteria on the eyelid skin and the edge of the eyelid to the eye surface, increasing the risk of infection. "

  Medical eye washing is to use "live water": first open the eyelids, the medical eye washing liquid enters the conjunctival sac, the fornix and other places where the "dirty things" that are easy to hide are clean, and then put the eye cup outside the eyes, so that the liquid washed eye surface automatically enters the eye cup, to ensure that the eyes will not be polluted.

  It is understood that the main economic components of the commercially available eye wash solution include: aminophenamine maleate, sodium chondroitin sulfate, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, vitamin B6. taurine, vitamin B12. etc. It seems that the different components are complex and diverse, with rich nutritional knowledge, but it is also a hidden crisis.

  Prolonging the shelf life of eye wash solution will add preservatives. Frequent contact with preservatives will damage the health of cornea, and even cause blindness in severe cases.

  In addition, although the content of aminobenzene maleate (commonly known as chlorpheniramine) in a bottle of eye wash is not high, frequent use will cause drug dependence.

  Improper use of eye lotion, eyedrops, etc. may damage the environment of the eye surface itself, leading to imbalance of flora, thus increasing the risk of eye surface diseases.

  Experts remind that if the eyes are dry and tired, the eyes can be fully rested and the eye muscles can be relaxed, or some artificial tears can be used to relieve the dryness on a regular basis.

  If cosmetic drops into eyes when removing makeup, it is recommended to use normal saline without preservatives or artificial tears.

  In a word, any eye discomfort should be treated in a regular hospital, with reasonable medication under the guidance of doctors.
