What are the causes of heavy eye droppings in babies

Infants with excessive eye droppings are mainly due to conjunctivitis, nasolacrimal duct hypoplasia, inverted eyelashes and other reasons. 1. Conjunctivitis: due to the weak immunity of infants and young children, they are susceptible to bacterial and viral infections that can cause conjunctivitis and other ocular inflammation. Under the stimulation of inflammation, patients may experience increased eye secretions, photophobia, tearing and other symptoms. 2. Inadequate development of nasolacrimal duct: some children with congenital underdevelopment, the valve of the nasolacrimal duct does not degenerate completely, resulting in the secretion of tears can not be discharged in a timely manner, which can cause an increase in the production of eye droppings, and it is also easy to secondary dacryocystitis, leading to the symptoms of pus in the tear ducts of the affected children. 3. Inverted eyelashes: Inverted eyelashes in children with eyelashes develop within the eyelashes, stimulating the cornea, conjunctiva and other ocular surface tissues, under the stimulation of the eyelashes, the patient may have an increase in ocular secretions, and the secretions solidify to form eye droppings. It is recommended that children with increased eye droppings consult a hospital in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
