Flies and shroud before the eyes as a symptom of neurological diseases

Flies in front of the eyes - this is the process that occurs in the vitreous body of the eye. In itself, this phenomenon is completely harmless and does not affect visual acuity.

Only in case of large turbidity, when a fleece of flies appears before the eyes, this can cause a slight darkening of the eyesight, in other cases it only causes discomfort and causes irritation.

Very many people with time just get used to it and stop paying attention to this phenomenon.

Every person who encounters this problem describes it in their own way. Someone before his eyes fly flies that can be black, gray, white or transparent and look completely different, someone before his eyes like a curtain.

Disturbing dots become distinctly visible if you look at a monochrome surface or on a bright light.

This process, manifested to a small extent, is not pathological in nature and can be associated with age-related changes or with myopia. However, very often the multicolored dots and the shroud before the eyes begin to bother the person very much.

This indicates the presence of any serious illness. In this case, neglect such a violation is not necessary and it is better to contact the neurologist or ophthalmologist as soon as possible.

Features of the obsessive "insects"

The disorder is characterized by the following symptoms:

• flies movein accordance with the movement of the eyes;
• can not focus the sight on a specific fly, because the turbidity passes, in fact, the point does not disappear, but simply moves to another area of ​​the vitreous;
• flies fly in front of the eyes very different - there are white, black, transparent or grayish;
• in shape they can be in the form of a point, threadlike lines, stripes, spots, spider webs.

The main reasons to find out from a neurologist

Most often the reasons for which flies fly before their eyes are neurological:

1. Vegeto-vascular dystonia - it can cause permanent stress, fatigue and a lack of sleep. All this leads to a violation in the of the nervous system. Points before the eyes appear due to poor blood supply to the retina due to increased or decreased pressure.
2. Osteochondrosis of the cervical department .Deformation of the spinal column in this department leads to a violation of the blood flow, the brain and optic nerves therefore suffer. In addition to stains and shrouds, in this case there is often strong dizziness.
3. Anemia .Because of the low level of hemoglobin in the blood, the brain begins to experience oxygen deficiency.
4. Tumors and myasthenia gravis .Not only a veil in front of my eyes, but also double vision.
5. Migraine .The strongest headache will almost always be accompanied by the emergence of floating points and lines. This symptom disappears together with the cessation of a headache attack.
6. Multiple sclerosis .In addition to the wall, movements of coordination are observed before the eyes. The patient himself for a long time does not notice the changes in his condition.
7. Stroke .In this case flies are accompanied by headache, weakening in one half of the body, speech disorders, loss of asymmetry of the face.
8. Hypertensive crisis .Arterial hypertension causes a sharp increase in pressure. In this case, the retina is very severely affected, which leads to the appearance of a veil before the eyes.
9. The destruction of the vitreous body .In this case, a person begins to torment the constant melteshenie before your eyes. This is due to the fact that the proteins of the eyeball are destroyed and form circles and lines floating in the eye. Such a pathology can develop due to age, since with time the structures of the organs of vision wear out, and also because of the bursting vessel or trauma of the eye.
10. If the flies in front of the eyes are black, this would indicate such a dangerous pathology as the retinal detachment of the .

Other reasons include

• diabetes;
• internal bleeding;
• ocular infection;
• intraocular hemorrhage;
• pregnancy;
• complications after taking medications.

Diagnosis of violation

Diagnosis is performed to determine if the patient has impaired function of the eye or the cause of the appearance of flies has become a serious disease.

The diagnostic process is to conduct consultation and instrumental research methods. Among them: ophthalmoscopy and examination of the fundus. Consultation of an ophthalmologist is necessary in such cases:

• melteshenie before the eyes becomes frequent, there are flashes;
• flies increase in size and quantity;
• shroud before the eyes appeared after the operation or injury;
• in the eyes there were pains;
• there was a diplopia - double vision.

If the doctor does not detect any eye disorders, the patient is referred for examination to the therapist. If the flies are combined with neurological disorders, such as headache, numbness, weakness, nausea, in this case, you can immediately go to a consultation with a neurologist.

Therapy depends on the agent provocateur

Because of the factors that cause a lot of flies to fly before the eyes, the treatment will be selected by a specialist in accordance with the underlying cause that causes flare in the eyes:

1. VSD is treated with a diet that involves the rejection of salty, spicy and fatty foods. Also, the correct mode of the day, a healthy eight-hour sleep, avoidance of getting into stressful situations and emotional stresses are assigned. To improve the psychoemotional sphere, it is recommended to consult with such specialists as a psychologist or psychotherapist.
2. Treatment of osteochondrosis implies the passage of physiotherapy procedures, the course of manual therapy and the implementation of special therapeutic gymnastics. At the acute stage of the disease, medication is prescribed, and in particularly severe cases - surgical intervention.
3. Anemia will be treated by increasing the level of hemoglobin in the blood. Effective will be a diet that includes products containing iron, for example - fish, seafood, legumes, greens, nuts, red meat. Special drugs are also prescribed.
4. In case of stroke and hypertensive crisis the patient needs urgent hospitalization. The treatment is in the hospital. The goal of therapy is the normalization of the blood supply to the cerebral vascular system.
5. The destruction of the vitreous body of does not lend itself to correction, and to date there has not been developed a clear methodology aimed at combating this violation. Doctors advise when flies appear to focus their eyes at a single point, and then sharply turn their eyes away. Then the unpleasant melting will disappear.
6. When the retinal detachment of is detached, the laser correction method is used. To strengthen the appointed mineral-vitamin complex.
7. Tumor and myasthenia gravis are treated with the operation.
8. With multiple sclerosis , immunosuppressants, anti-inflammatory drugs, and physiotherapeutic procedures for reducing symptoms are prescribed.

Among the surgical methods can be identified such as: vitreolysis and vitrectomy:

1. The vitreolysis of is carried out using a VAG laser. As a result of the laser beam, large opaque molecules break up into small, thus reducing the likelihood of unpleasant visual effects.
2. Vitrectomy is a partial removal of the vitreous with replacement for saline. This procedure is unsafe, it can lead to very serious complications, including cataracts, retinal detachment and eye hemorrhage.

Effective drugs that activate metabolic processes, as a result of which the flies dissolve, are drugs Wobenzym and Emoxipine.

Exercises for the eyes

If the flies are not a symptom of the pathologies of the retina and the vitreous humor, but arise from the overwork of the eyes, eye gymnastics will be very effective for relaxation.

Such exercises affect the correct redistribution of fluid in the eyeball.

Folk remedies

A good adjuvant to conservative therapy will be folk methods:

1. Very useful in the prevention of this disorder eye massage .It allows normalization of metabolic processes in the vitreous body, due to improved blood flow and lymph flow. Massaging needs the edges of the eyeballs and the eyeball itself.
2. honey drops will also be useful. They are made on the basis of honey, juice and pulp of aloe. The resulting solution is used as eye drops. Bury the eyes in the morning, afternoon and evening for two drops.
