My eyes often shed tears abnormally, especially when there is wind. The house I rent is in Shijingshan District, where there is an eye hospital. The scale is not too big, and there are not many people. I just resigned a while ago and went to this hospital for a detailed eye examination. The attending doctor is a female doctor, about 40 years old, with kind eyes. Finally, the doctor pointed out that the reason was tear overflow caused by lacrimal punctum stenosis, which required surgery to expand lacrimal punctum. This operation is a minor one. Expand the lacrimal punctum and insert a very thin tube at the lacrimal punctum to prevent adhesion. After seven days, stitches should be removed and removed.
Popular science: lacrimal punctum stenosis
There are two small tears in every eye, an upper one and a lower one. When we open the lower eyelid, we can see a small hole near the inner corner of the eye. That little hole is the tear spot, which is the tear spot. The tear spot is covered by the upper eyelid, and you can see such a small hole when you open the upper eyelid. Tears are equivalent to an entrance, and most of the naturally secreted tears enter the nasolacrimal duct through the tears, then enter the nasal cavity, and evaporate with human breathing. Therefore, if the lacrimal punctum is narrow and the eyes are stimulated to secrete tears, the tears can not flow into the nasal cavity from the lacrimal punctum in time, and will directly overflow the eyes, resulting in the problem of lacrimal overflow.

20 15 12.29 (oh, I just realized it was last year! ) I had an operation in the afternoon, and then I will explain the operation process in detail.
On the morning of 29th, I had a blood test, paid the operation fee and medicine fee, and waited outside the operating room at 1: 30 in the afternoon. There are more than a dozen people sitting here, including patients and their families. Patients were called in one by one and patients came out one by one. The family then stepped forward and rolled up their arms, and the patient after the operation easily walked into the elevator. There is a trace of envy in my heart, alas, people without family.
The nurse finally called me in. The attending doctor came over, wrote a note on my medical record, then took out the operation responsibility book, told me all the possible complications after the operation, and finally asked me to sign it. "Don't you have any family?" The nurse next to me asked me. Before I could speak, the attending doctor said, "Well, this child is a student and his family is not local."
The nurse put on my hat and gown and took me into the operating room. The operating table is too narrow to hold two arms, so I have to put my arms on my body and hold my glasses in my hand.
Ok, the next step is the point!
The nurse began to rub iodophor on the skin outside my eyes, and then dried it with a dry cotton swab later. I closed my eyes when I rubbed iodophor, and the nurse just told me to "close my eyes gently", so I did. After disinfection, the doctor came and gave me an anesthetic for my right eye first. The needle stuck in the corner of my eye and felt very painful. I have no choice but to endure. Then the doctor started the operation. He could feel the scalpel cut the tear, remove the excess membrane and meat, sew the needle, intubate and sew the needle again. I tried to open my eyes for fear that closing them would affect the operation. Actually, a nurse shaved my eyelids. The same is true for the left eye, but when sewing the needle, I feel that the eyeball of the left eye begins to hurt and shed tears, but the pain is not serious. Because I used anesthetic, I thought it was because I didn't pay attention It turns out that this sign is the beginning of eye resistance.
When I walked out of the operating room, the doctor looked relaxed. I just sat for a while and told me I could go back. I just need to change my dressing tomorrow.
At that time, I took a selfie:
Sitting in the chair outside the operating room, my left eye feels a little uncomfortable. I always cry and can't see clearly. I want to walk back to my apartment by myself. After sitting for a while, I still feel that I can't see anything clearly, and my eyes have been crying. I had to call my roommate and ask her to take me back. She is working, so she has to ask for leave. She arrived more than half an hour later, and my eyes still felt uncomfortable. I'm a little worried about whether there is something wrong with the operation. I went in to see the attending doctor and told her that my left eye had been crying and I couldn't see clearly. She looked me in the eye and rubbed eye drops with gauze in front of her eyes, saying that it might be the medicine I just took that caused the discomfort. I didn't think much, and returned to my residence with my classmates. After my classmates sent me back, I turned on the rice cooker and started making rice porridge. She went back to work.
At night, my left eye began to ache wildly, and I felt that my eyeball had been pricked by countless needles and I kept crying. My classmates came back and asked me if I wanted to eat porridge. I can't eat it. I didn't even drink a mouthful of water. I still wonder why my left eye hurts so much, my right eye is fine, and the doctor didn't do the operation well. Lines and tubes grind my eyeballs? But the whole eyeball hurts, and the thread and tube are in the fundus. If you want to grind it, the lower position hurts. The pain increases geometrically. Whether it's head movement or eye movement, the pain doubles, the eyes keep crying, and the nose starts to run. It is painful to open or close your eyes, and it is even more painful to open your eyes. There is no way. I have to close my eyes and endure the pain like an arrow through my heart. I sat almost all night and couldn't sleep. I finally looked forward to the dawn, and I couldn't open my eyes. Only then did I realize that I couldn't "close one eye" and I couldn't open my right eye with my left eye closed. The world I live in has completely turned into darkness. Even when I went to the toilet, my classmates dragged me to the toilet step by step. My classmate gave me a bowl of porridge and peeled a boiled egg. After barely taking a few bites, I began to feel sick, which added to my fear.
I seem to have grasped the straw at a critical moment and asked my classmates to take me to the hospital. First, my classmates comforted me, which may be the normal pain of the operation, and then asked for leave from the company. I was dragged by her on the way to the hospital like a blind man, and I didn't go far. I really don't feel at ease walking on the road with my eyes closed, so I opened a crack in my right eye with my hand and turned my eyes to stare at the road. When the right eye moves, the pain in the left eye increases, and the tears flow out like a running stream, full of vitality and endless. For the first time, I found that my left and right eyes are so closely connected. While walking, I thought in my confused head that I must ask the doctor to take out the thread, tube and the like, without any surgical effect; It suddenly occurred to me that I had never done this kind of exercise before. If I had known that I had exercised before and lived with my eyes closed for a while, I wouldn't be so scared now. It also occurred to me that I have seen some blind people with strong will before and learned all kinds of life skills. I want to be as strong as them, but now if I am blind, how can I go home? It's inconvenient for my family to come to me, so I'm sure I'll be in a hurry.
I finally got to the hospital and hung up the number of the attending doctor. 20 15 12.30, I don't know what day it is. There are many people in the eye hospital, much more than usual. We sat outside the doctor's office for a long time before being called in. I quickly complained to the doctor after I went in. The doctor was surprised to see me with my eyes closed and tears streaming down my face. How come... She sat me in front of the instrument, ready to check my eyes, but my eyes couldn't open. The doctor found the potion, dropped a drop when he opened my eyes with his hand, and then went to show the test results to other patients.
After more than ten seconds, I can barely open my eyes and feel less pain. I asked the doctor, "What medicine did you prescribe for me?" Crispy. Is it an anesthetic? "The doctor smiled:" It's an anesthetic, or it hurts too much to open my mouth. "She came over and checked my eyes with an instrument, and said to herself while watching," It won't grind your eyes, and the thread and tube are still far away. She looked at her left eye and said, "Your cornea is inflamed." I think the disinfectant got into your eyes before the operation. " ? My head was shocked. What? Is this the reason? It was that damn iodophor that hurt me! My cornea was chemically burned! Can it not hurt? ! ? God, after learning this reason, I first felt that 10 thousand grass mud horses ran past my mind, and then I called up the periodic table of chemical elements that I had learned in high school. Finally, I had a narrow squeak. Fortunately, I am smart and wise, SHEN WOO. I saw the abnormality in time, otherwise my left eye would be blind!
The doctor gave me a list of saline and eye drops and told me to go to the treatment room to wash my eyes. After washing eyes, I dropped eye drops. Out of the clinic, my classmates took the bill to pay the bill, and I sat in the chair waiting for her. There were so many people in the hospital that day that it took a long time to pay the fee. The drop of anesthetic in my eye has failed, and I began to feel unbearable pain and tears. My classmate finally came back with the receipt, but forgot to take the medicine. After I reminded her, she had to queue up again to get the medicine.
Holding a bottle of saline, I waited outside the treatment room for a long time, and finally it was my turn. Lying in bed, the nurse kept asking me to open my eyes, but I just couldn't, so she had to get started and wash my eyes with her hands, which was not thorough. In fact, I really want to bravely open my eyes once, just need to brew some emotions and get ready. As a result, the nurse didn't give me time and simply and rudely kicked me out of the treatment room several times.
Sitting on the sofa in the consulting room, I finally gave myself a few drops of eye drops and tried my best to ease my mood. The attending doctor said, "Stick to the eye drops and ointment I gave you last time. Tomorrow should be much better. " I feel a fire in my heart. I wish this fire could reach the nurse who wiped my iodophor yesterday. It's all because of that nurse, who is fearless of chemicals! Why do you wear so much iodophor? There's no need to disinfect like that!
Science popularization: iodine, halogen elements, corrosiveness and disinfection.
Element iodine is purple-black crystal, which is easy to sublimate, toxic and corrosive. Organic solvents of iodine are often used for disinfection before operation. Halogen group elements refer to the group ⅶ A elements in the periodic table. Including fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I) and arsenic (At), all halogen elements are unsafe for human body and corrosive and oxidizing. Relatively speaking, iodine is the safest of all halogen elements, because fluorine, chlorine and bromine are more toxic and corrosive than iodine, while arsenic. Halogen elements have strong oxidation and active chemical properties, and exist only in the form of compounds in nature.
Disinfectants can produce disinfection and sterilization by using the oxidation of chemicals contained, and medical iodine solution is no exception. There are also common disinfectants such as potassium permanganate, hypochlorous acid and hydrogen peroxide in life.
After taking the medicine for a day, the pain in my eyes eased a little, but my head and nose still hurt. I barely opened my eyes and looked in the mirror. I found that my left eye and nose were swollen, and the swelling around my eyes was very high, which was worse than the girl who had seen eye plastic surgery before.
Suddenly I thought, if my eyes are blind, what does it matter if I look good or not? I want to do eye plastic surgery in the future because I have a single eyelid. After this disaster, I will avoid all surgical operations and don't let me touch disinfectant again! I am not destined to eat by appearance, but my brain is not good either. Oh, maybe later.
After six days of medication, my left eye finally recovered almost, and the swollen area basically disappeared. The stitches were removed after 7 days, and the doctor said the operation was successful.
Many seemingly normal and safe medical behaviors may cause great harm to people. I am a typical case. A little iodophor made me experience the pain of death. In real life, we should all be more careful about chemicals, especially protecting our eyes.
