The appearance of white tears is often a sign of purulent discharge from the eyes, usually due to conjunctivitis or chronic dacryocystitis.
Conjunctivitis is caused by unhygienic eye habits such as rubbing the eyes with dirty hands, which triggers an infection of the conjunctival tissue and can be treated with antibiotic eye drops, such as chloramphenicol eye drops and lomefloxacin eye drops.
Chronic dacryocystitis is caused by infection of the tear ducts due to the blockage of the tear ducts and the accumulation of tear fluid in the tear ducts. In addition to treatment with antibiotic eye drops, surgery is also needed to unblock the tear ducts, such as tear duct probing, tear duct placement, etc. Patients should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in time.
Patients should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for examination in time, such as doing slit lamp microscopic examination and tear duct irrigation examination to make a clear diagnosis, and then under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
