Medical Video: Why Do We Get Eye Boogers?
Realize it or not, every morning when you wake up there must be dirt in the corner of your eye. Many people call eye droppings as belek. These belek are yellowish, sticky and crusty. In fact, not infrequently, belek makes the eyes difficult to open when I wake up. Hmmm, what's the reason, yes, the eyes of the boss when they wake up? See the following explanation.
Cause of the eyes of the shoulder when waking up
Ears or in medical terms called rheum is a mixture of mucus, oil, dead skin cells, tears, and dust that accumulates in the corners of your eyes when you sleep. Belek is formed from tears that play an important role for good eye health.
When you do your daily activities, you must be blinking. This wink functions to sweep away all impurities such as dust so that it does not enter the eyes with the help of tears. Tears consist of a mixture of water and mucus produced by conjunctiva (mucin) and meibum, an oily substance produced by the meibom gland to help keep the eyes lubricated when you blink.
This tear layer keeps on flooding the eye surface every time you blink, so that it can filter out the dirt and the remaining rheum through the tear drains before the mucus turns soft. Therefore, we sometimes rub the corner of the eye to remove this eye droppings.
Well when you sleep, you don't blink. This causes the eye cleansing process to not work, besides the production of tears also decreases, causing eye fluid to experience a little drying. This is what makes the remaining dirt not wasted and eventually accumulates in the corner area of the eye. Broken texture depends on the condition of the eyes, the drier the surface of your eyes, the smear produced will be dry, or sandy. However, if your eyes are slightly moist, then the resulting glue will be slightly sticky or slimy. Therefore, sometimes the eyes can get wet, sticky, dry or crusty depending on how much the liquid has evaporated.
But there are also other causes for you to experience a thick eye
Generally belek is a natural thing and is not dangerous because it is experienced by almost a number of people, but in some cases excessive belts can be caused by several factors, including:
1. Bacterial infections
In more serious cases, a bacterial infection can cause blepharitis, which is inflammation of the base of the lashes which produces thick, yellowish mucus like pus which contains many bacteria. Generally, people who are having a cold or flu tend to have excessive sticking.
2. Conjunctivitis
Excessive tenderness is often associated with an eye condition called conjunctivitis or red eyes. Conjunctivitis can be contagious if caused by a viral or bacterial infection. But it can not be contagious if caused by allergies, or other irritants.
3. Non-sterile contact lenses
Wearing dirty or expired contact lenses is also a common cause of belekan. Using contact lenses that are too long is very dangerous. First, contact lenses are contaminated with bacteria or viral organisms that multiply in contact lens material. Secondly, protein deposits and oil from tears will form on the surface of contact lenses. This makes your body feel inflamed around the eyes which causes the splint.
How do you overcome your eyes?
Generally, some people can get rid of streaks just by rubbing or "Rubbing"eyes slowly when awakened from sleep. But not infrequently there are also people who when they wake up it is difficult to open their eyes due to the accumulation of too much eye drop in almost all parts of the eye. If this happens, you can take a towel that has been soaked in warm water and then gently rubbed it on the eyes.
If the eyes of the shoulder are caused by the use of contact lenses, you should regularly replace the lens contacts according to the validity period. Also clean the lens contacts according to the doctor's instructions.
If you experience excessive strokes that do not go away or are accompanied by dry eyes, watery eyes, red eyes, sensitive to light, feel pain like burning, even vision becomes blurry immediately consult a doctor. The doctor will make a further diagnosis to take treatment.
