Introduction

The area between the two eyes is called the nasal root, located directly below the Yintang acupoint, also known as the radix or "mountain root." Anatomically, the tip of the nose is referred to as the nasal tip, while the raised central portion is called the nasal bridge or dorsum of the nose. In daily life, it's important to get adequate rest, exercise appropriately, and strengthen the body's resistance. If discomfort occurs in the nasal root area, prompt medical attention should be sought at an otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) clinic.

The area between the two eyes is the root of the nose, located directly below the Yintang acupoint and also known as the nasal bridge or radix. Anatomically, the tip of the nose is referred to as the nasal tip, while the raised central portion is called the nasal dorsum or bridge.

The region between the eyes marks the starting point of the nasal root—the upper part of the nose. From the nasal bridge downward, the contour of the nose is formed by three parts: the nasal root, the nasal dorsum, and the nasal tip. The nasal root lies opposite the inner corners of both eyes. If mild discomfort occurs at the nasal root, it may be due to eye strain or lack of sleep causing muscle tension in this area. It's important to get adequate rest and avoid excessive eye use. Under a doctor’s guidance, medications such as naphazoline-pheniramine eye drops or sodium hyaluronate eye drops can be used to relieve symptoms.

If there is severe pain or aching and swelling at the nasal root, it could be caused by conditions such as frontal sinusitis or sphenoid sinusitis. Inflammatory reactions may irritate surrounding tissues, leading to symptoms like nasal sinus swelling and pain at the nasal root. Blood tests, endoscopy, and other examinations can help confirm the underlying cause. Under medical supervision, antibiotics such as cefixime capsules or cefdinir capsules may be prescribed for treatment.

In daily life, it's important to get sufficient rest, exercise regularly, and strengthen the body's immunity. If discomfort occurs in the nasal root area, prompt consultation with an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) at a hospital is recommended.

There's a pulsating sensation between the two eyes.

In general, a pulsating sensation between the two eyes may be caused by factors such as poor sleep quality, dry eye syndrome, or conjunctivitis. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. Besides these three causes, other possible reasons include keratitis, scleritis, and trigeminal neuralgia. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical care for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Is a 100-degree difference between the two eyes severe?

A difference of 100 degrees between the two eyes refers to a 100-degree disparity in refractive power between the left and right eyes, known as anisometropia, which is not severe. Mild anisometropia typically presents no symptoms. Pathological anisometropia involves a significant difference in uncorrected visual acuity between the two eyes, leading to binocular vision problems, monocular amblyopia, or the development of exotropia. However, in this case, the condition is not serious and falls within a mild range; it can be corrected with regular eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Is it normal for eye pressure to be 13 in one eye and 14 in the other?

An intraocular pressure (IOP) of 13 mmHg in one eye and 14 mmHg in the other is generally considered normal. The normal range for intraocular pressure is 10–21 mmHg. It is common for the pressures between the two eyes to differ slightly, although the difference typically does not exceed 5 mmHg. Therefore, an IOP reading of 13 mmHg in one eye and 14 mmHg in the other falls within the normal range and is usually not a cause for concern.

Symmetrical bumps on both eyelids

Symmetrical bumps on both eyelids may be caused by conditions such as styes, milia, or xanthelasma of the eyelid. Mild cases should be treated with medication, while severe cases are better managed with surgical or laser procedures. Additionally, other causes like chalazia can also lead to symmetrical bumps on the eyelids. Prompt treatment is necessary once symptoms appear, and attention should be paid to eye hygiene and proper eyelid care.
