1. What is the cause of excessive eye mucus?

Everyone has a small amount of normal eye mucus, it is not a disease. But if the amount of eye mucus suddenly increases, it is most likely caused by getting angry, especially in autumn and winter. The climate is dry in autumn and winter, and the human body is prone to dehydration, which can cause inflammation and increased eye mucus. However, it should be noted that if the amount of eye mucus suddenly increases and is pink or red in color, it may be caused by eye diseases such as conjunctivitis and trachoma.

Usually, when we are working or studying, we use our eyes for too long, which will lead to eye fatigue and sub-health. At this time, the eyes will secrete more oil and lubricant to adjust. Because of the increase in eye mucus, this is not a pathological problem. Just pay attention to the rational use of eyes and get adequate rest.

Some friends are unhygienic with their eyes and like to rub their eyes directly with their fingers. This allows bacteria and viruses to easily enter the eyes, causing infection and an increase in eye mucus.

Friends who are in a bad mood, cry for a long time, and have tearful eyes are actually very harmful to the eyes. Not only will it cause an increase in red bloodshot eyes, it can also easily cause temporary blindness. It is not surprising that there will be an increase in eye mucus.

In addition, various eye diseases, such as trachoma and conjunctivitis, can cause an increase in eye mucus. In this case, please be sure to go to the hospital for treatment and apply medication in time to control it.

2. How to prevent excessive eye mucus

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that too much eye mucus is caused by heat in the liver meridian, stagnation of liver qi, and internal internal fire. Therefore, using appropriate Chinese medicine to regulate the body, paying attention to diet, and avoiding spicy and hot foods can all help reduce the production of eye mucus.

In addition, we should pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid excessive eye fatigue. Every once in a while, we can gently touch the corners of our eyes with our fingers to see if there is any accumulated eye mucus. If so, we can wipe it off with a tissue to maintain a good image. If excessive eye mucus is secreted over a long period of time and contains pus, blood, water, or stickiness, it may be an eye disease. You should go to the hospital for examination so that appropriate treatment measures can be taken.

If the increase in eye mucus is caused by getting angry, you can just eat more vegetables and fruits and drink more water. You can also drink chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea regularly, which can have a good preventive and therapeutic effect. In addition, you should prevent office eye diseases, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and try not to face the computer for a long time. After working for an hour or two, you can take a break and look at some green plants to relax your eyes. Also, don't sit too close to the computer when using it. If your eyes feel dry and uncomfortable, try to blink more often to reduce the evaporation of water in your eyes.

It can be said that too much eye mucus is a sign of eye inflammation. If there is too much eye mucus, it should be checked and treated promptly.
