When people get old, their whites will turn yellow. Why?

We often use the word "people are getting older" to describe the degree of old age, but this is not a simple metaphor. After years of research by scientists, it shows that this phenomenon is the embodiment of conjunctival aging in our eyes.

There is a thin transparent film on the surface of human eyeball, which is called conjunctiva. After being polluted by ultraviolet rays and dust for a long time, there will be adverse reactions of pigmentation. Pigments gather in the conjunctival layer to form a large area of macula. A slightly raised dark yellow substance appeared on the surface of white eyeball, and the black eyeball became more turbid. Human beings have been stimulated by the external environment for a long time, and the elderly are more likely to produce conjunctival pigmentation, so there is a saying that "people are old and yellow."

Yellowing of the whites of the eyes is only the external manifestation of this disease. The so-called treatment, the first problem is to go to a regular eye hospital for examination and treatment. If it is really liver disease, regular treatment is very important for the eyes in the future.

Patients with jaundice have increased bilirubin, so the sclera turns yellow. Jaundice disease is mainly caused by the decline of liver cell function, frequent smoking and drinking, virus invasion and other factors. If a person's immune function is disordered, it will also produce jaundice and yellow eyes.

Love tip: I suggest you wear a pair of flat glasses when you go out on a windy and dusty day, operate in front of the computer for 1-2 hours, and then rest your eyes for 10-20 minutes. Pay attention to eye care and use eye improvement liquid. Pay attention to nutrition, eat more vegetables and some vitamin health products. As long as you feel comfortable and have less troubles, you can alleviate aging. Eating more sesame seeds, walnuts, Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., Chinese yam and dried fruit can make you better.

I suggest you go to a regular infectious disease hospital for a standardized examination and a clear diagnosis, and the doctor will prescribe more suitable drugs or treatments for you.

Protect the whites of the eyes, starting with protecting the eyes to avoid eye trauma and ultraviolet rays. You can wear sunglasses when the ultraviolet rays are strong in summer.

When the whites of eyes change color, see an ophthalmologist in time to rule out organic diseases in ophthalmology. If you have organic eye disease, see a doctor in time.
