Eyebrows Shedding
If your eyebrows are shedding, that is not normal and it is not like how your hair otherwise sheds which is normal. If you have a lot of stress that you cannot manage, and you are not getting the proper nutrients you need – then that can cause your eyebrows to shed.
However, you could also have hypothyroidism, which means you need to see the doctor. You could also have a condition called alopecia areata.
Yellow Sclera
If your white part of the eye which is the sclera, is yellow, then that can be a sign of liver or gallbladder problems. The yellow is the buildup of bilirubin, which are the bile pigments. It is a sign that either one is not functioning properly if you have yellow in your eyes.
Bulging Eyes
You may feel that there is pressure in your eyes and if they are appearing to be bulging then you may have a hyperthyroid condition such as Graves disease which means you need to see the doctor as soon as possible.
Blurred Vision
Blurred vision may be linked to aging, but it is also linked to those who spend way too much time in front of a computer screen, which is common in this day and age. In fact, the name for it is computer vision syndrome. You will need to get a prescription of glasses if you must be on the computer for hours for work.
Stye
A stye in the eye is annoying and can be difficult to put up with. They are itchy, irritating and can be painful. It doesn’t last for more than a few days but if it does not, then you need to see the doctor. You could have potential cancer in a gland in the eye.
Blind Spot
Blind spots with vision are common when it comes to migraine headaches, and you will most definitely know when you have one. They are the headaches with aura. But if you don’t have a migraine and you are finding that you are having blind spots, that is not normal and that will need to require you making a visit to the doctor.
Visions Changes That Happen Suddenly
If your vision, for the most part, is good, but all of a sudden you are experiencing changes in your vision that are happening out of nowhere, that is a serious sign. If your vision is becoming clouded or you are starting to lose parts of it, then you need to get seen by a medical professional as soon as you can. This can be a sign of a stroke as loss or changes in vision are the first signs of a stoke that is impending.
Cloudy Vision With Diabetes
Diabetic patients have problems with their vision if they allow their blood sugar levels to get out of control. And a condition that happens with diabetic patients that do not have things under control is diabetic retinopathy. This is a form of blindness that happens among those who have the condition and it is preventable by keeping the blood sugar levels in check.
Now you know what health issues to look out for if you are having any type of unusual conditions that involve your eyes.
