7 things your eyes tell you about your health

It is known that the color of our eyes can tell us the afflictions we suffer. With a simple eye analysis, you can detect early illnesses, which means early treatment and hence a greater chance of healing.

Here are 7 things your eyes tell you about your health:

1. Blurred view while using your computer

Many people spend a lot of time in front of the computer, both at work and at home, which in a very short time leads to blurred vision.

Eyes lose their ability to produce tears for lubrication. Thus, eye irritation will add to the blur of vision and discomfort. The problem worsens in the second part of the day, when the eyes are tired and tend to become dry. Sometimes the problem could be aggravated by a fan or air conditioner that blows in the direction of the eyes.

2. Red eyes

Causes of red eyes may be the lack of sleep, prolonged work, or exposure to sunlight or wind. If the eyes turn red without reason, they may report certain diseases, such as increased intraocular pressure, increased intracranial pressure or diabetes.

3. Swollen eyes

Although this may be a family feature, in some cases it may indicate a thyroid disorder.

4. Light-sensitive eyes

If light sensitivity is accompanied by eye dryness, it can indicate Sjogren's syndrome, a rare condition of the immune system.

5. The white of the eye is yellow

The yellowing of the white part of the eye (sclera) is caused by a accumulation of bilirubin, produced by red blood cells that the liver can not process. Other body tissues may have the same appearance, but visible is only ocular sclera.

6. Double view, diminished eyesight

These are signs of stroke. Other signs include numbness or sudden weakness of an arm, foot or face, usually only on one side of the body, problems of walking due to dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, unclear speech, headache and bad moods .

In the case of a major cerebral accident, the symptoms manifest all at once. When a minor stroke is present due to narrowing of the arteries, some of the symptoms may persist for several minutes or an hour.

7. The eye struggles

If the eye is frequently strucking, then it may be a sign of a magnesium deficiency. If you are often confronted with this sensation, it is advisable to make a set of medical analyzes.

Of course, there are other signs that warn us that we have a health problem, so it is good to go to the doctor.
