When it comes to your eyes, many individuals will experience minor conditions such as pink eye, redness, and eye strain.
But, not everyone realizes that your eyes can provide you with a much more in-depth profile about the health of your entire body.
In addition to common problems like bumps on the eyelids, eye twitching, and drooping eyes, if you look closely, you can actually find out whether your body is overly stressed, whether you have diabetes, or even whether you are dehydrated.
Here are five conditions, illnesses, or problems that you can tell by the health of your eyes.
1. You are suffering from dehydration. Other than pinching your skin to find out whether you are dehydrated or not, you can just stand in front of the mirror and check to see if your eyes are red.
Now, if they are just red every once in a while, this isn’t necessarily an indicator of dehydration but if they are red more often than not then the surface blood vessels in your eyes may be dilated, indicating dehydration.
Now, this is also permitting that you haven’t consumed any illicit substances either.
If you are noticing this, drink more water and see if it helps.
2. You may have thyroid disease. There are lots of conditions and illnesses that affect the thyroid gland.
The thyroid gland is responsible for producing and releasing hormones that your body needs to be properly regulated.
If you have unusually wide and open eyes (called eyelid retraction) or have bulging eyes paired with weight loss, diarrhea or hand tremors, then you need to get seen by a doctor.
3. You are overly stressed. Another common sign you may see is an eye twitch or red vein-like lines running across the whites of your eyes.
Both of these are indicators of not enough sleep and too much stress and strain on the eyes.
4. You have diabetes. If you consistently experience blurred vision or have an awful time seeing at night, then you may have diabetes.
Essentially what happens here is diabetic retinopathy which is where the blood vessels in your eyes leak fluids such as blood which causes problems with your vision.
5. Droopy Eyes or Yellow Eyes. If both your eyelids droop downward towards your cheeks, it is worth getting checked out as you may have myasthenia gravis.
This condition causes your immune system to attack your muscles which subsequently weakens them.
This condition can affect your throat muscles, face muscles, and eyes but can be treated with medication or surgery.
On the other hand, if you notice that the white around your eyes is yellow in color, this is called jaundice which is an indicator of liver problems.
So, the next time you jump in front of the mirror and take a look at your face, try checking out your eyes and see if there is anything else going on.
The eyes are a great way to catch the early signs of systemic bodily problems that you may have easier success treating, the earlier you detect it.
If you have consistent symptoms that develop in and around the eyes, it is important that you see a healthcare professional.
