Dr. Wang Shuai
Excessive eye discharge accompanied by blurred vision is usually caused by various factors. It may be due to eye infections such as conjunctivitis or keratitis, which can increase eye secretions. These infections may cause redness, swelling, pain, and affect vision. Additionally, eye strain or dry eye syndrome can also lead to increased discharge and blurry vision, often associated with prolonged use of electronic devices or dry environments. Inflammation inside the eye or the presence of a foreign body may also produce similar symptoms. For accurate diagnosis and treatment, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and undergo an eye examination. Depending on the specific condition, a doctor may prescribe eye drops or oral medications to reduce inflammation, remove foreign materials, and improve vision.
