At the same time, in spring, many people often shed tears in the wind, not because of flying catkins getting into their eyes, nor because of emotional problems. What is going on? Is there something wrong with my eyes?

Let’s listen to how Teacher Wei Jiange of Supervision Li explained this situation!

First of all, let’s briefly talk about what tears are and what they do?

Tears are a slightly acidic, transparent, colorless liquid, most of which is water (98.2%), and contains a small amount of inorganic salts, proteins, lysozyme, immunoglobulin A and other substance. In fact, there are two types of tears. One is reflexive tearing and the other is emotional tearing.

Tears help expel certain things from the body. Tears can relieve the mental burden, relieve the depression and grievances in the heart, and relieve the pressure. toxin. Strong emotional stimulation can cause tears to contain toxins that are harmful to the human body. The transmission of excitement between one neuron and another neuron in the human body relies on a medium—the central transmitter.

Secondly, let’s take a look at why eyes are more likely to shed tears in the wind in spring?

Crying in the wind usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. In fact, there are many reasons for this phenomenon. Most of them are caused by obstruction or stenosis of the tear duct, which blocks the discharge of tears. In a small number of people, it is caused by loose eyelids and conjunctiva that prevent the discharge of tears. Another reason is that in spring, various eye inflammations such as conjunctivitis are easy to occur, which leads to an increase in secretions. If timely treatment is not paid attention to, it is easy to block the tear duct, and in severe cases, it can also cause dacryocystitis.

In addition, in spring, there is still a sharp cold. The stimulation of cold air causes an increase in tear secretion, and the excess tears cannot be discharged from the tear ducts in time. There is also a lot of dust in spring, and more dust and particles are carried in the air, which can easily enter the lacrimal sac with tears, causing blockage.

Also, the elderly are more likely to shed tears in the wind due to skin aging, muscle laxity, and degradation of the functions of their tear glands and tear ducts.

Next, let’s talk about how to prevent it?

First, pay attention to personal hygiene and eye hygiene, use washbasins and towels exclusively, and avoid wiping your eyes with dirt. In addition, regular eye examinations should be performed to detect and treat early symptoms. Middle-aged and elderly people with eyesight should wear reading glasses in time, which can delay eye aging to a certain extent and block cold air stimulation.

Second, pay attention to rest, do not increase the burden on your eyes, and maintain a good mood every day. To improve sleep quality, look far away, blink, and move your eyes more often.
