The hardness of the eyeball to the touch may be normal, or it may be due to high intraocular pressure or wearing hard corneal contact lenses.
In the case of hardness of the eyeball to the touch, it is important to know that the eyeball itself has a normal pressure range, which is between 10 and 21 mmHg. For those without relevant ophthalmologic clinical experience, their perception of the pressure of the hardness of the eyeball may not be accurate.
In addition, high intraocular pressure glaucoma can also lead to elevated eye hardness, due to a mismatch between the production and discharge of aqueous humor, resulting in an abnormally high intraocular pressure, which exceeds the normal value; in addition, it may also be the result of wearing hard corneal contact lenses at the time and chronic inflammatory hyperplasia of the conjunctiva, and so on.
For the emergence of hard eyeballs and accompanied by eye swelling and pain, etc. should consult a doctor in a timely manner, improve the relevant auxiliary examination, clarify the cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions for appropriate treatment.
