What to look for in a blue eye

Orbital blueing is not necessarily caused by a disease, but may be the result of sleep deprivation. In addition, patients with orbital blue need to be alert to trauma, skull base fracture and other diseases.
1. Lack of sleep: Long-term sleep deprivation can easily lead to blood circulation disorder around the eye orbits, and some people also have the manifestation of orbital blue. This is a normal phenomenon, not due to disease.
2. Trauma: if the patient’s eye orbital is squeezed or traumatized, it may lead to local blood vessel rupture, at this time, the blood will flow into the tissue gap, which will easily cause local bruising, and at this time, the patient may show orbital bruising.
3. Skull base fracture: Skull base fracture may be caused by external violence resulting in skull cap fracture, and the patient will have rhinorrhea, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, rhinorrhea, intracranial nerve injury, mucous membrane or subcutaneous bruise spots. If the patient develops bruising in the anterior fossa of the skull base, bruise spots may appear in the intraorbital bulbar conjunctiva or eyelids, which is known as the panda’s eye sign, and the patient will have orbital bruising at this time.
In addition, the patient’s orbital blueness is also considered to be caused by periocular venous vascular malformation, periocular venous vasodilatation and other diseases. To exclude the blue eyes caused by sleep deprivation, patients need to consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose the appropriate measures to treat.
