Barley called acute inflammatory process in the sebaceous or meibomian gland in the zone of the century or the hair follicles at the root of the eyelashes.
As a result of barley formed purulent abscess, Impaired general condition and high risk of developing complications.
Barley can occur at any age - both children and adults. But most of it exposed to the weakened, painful, patients with metabolic disorders and reduction of local and general immunity.
Often, the barley may occur against the background of existing inflammation of eyes, allergies or traumatic lesions.
Kinds
Depending on the location and development release:
- outer barley arising in the localization process in the follicle eyelashes and bulging above the surface century
- domestic barley - meybomit - a process that is localized in the sebaceous (meibomian) glands in the eyelid, with the main localization of the abscess on the inner surface of the century.
Causes
The main reason is the introduction of barley and reproduction in the field of hair follicles or sebaceous glands opportunistic flora, which is always present on the skin:
But barley is not developed in all people, the main factors and conditions of development of the disease and are conditions leading to the introduction of infection in the eye or reduce local skin protection and a general weakening Immunity. It:
- presence of chronic respiratory or digestive diseases,
- allergies, Including the eyes,
- metabolic disorders (diabetes, hypothyroidism, obesity),
- conjunctivitis, keratitis,
- eye injury, foreign bodies in the eyes,
- vision problems with eye fatigue and eye rubbing,
- importations from other purulent foci with the lymph or blood,
- chronic stress.
Children often contribute barley:
- SARS and ARI,
- blepharitis,
- worm infestation,
- biliary dyskinesia,
- diabetes and obesity.
symptoms of barley
The first signs are about to barley:
- itching of the century,
- redness of the eyelid,
- swelling of the century,
- tenderness to touch, tingling.
Then, if the process is stopped and the body's defenses are not enough, there is:
- hillocks formation, similar to the grain,
- sharp pain in his area, pressure, prostrelivanie,
- hillocks increase in size, the feeling of the liquid inside,
- at the same time hurt to blink, open his eyes,
- increased sensitivity to light, tearing,
- fever, malaise formed.
Without timely treatment of barley ripened abscess opened, it follows a yellowish pus forming eyelashes defect or ulcers on the eyelid.
When meybomit, domestic barley, the process is similar, but is localized abscess on the inner surface of the eye. In this form of barley abscesses not normally opened, and gradually hardens to dissolve.
A significant reduction in immunity and the presence of diabetes can cause recurrent styes and multiple lesions.
Diagnostics
In a typical course of barley diagnosis is not difficult, the diagnosis is made clinically.
In the case of initial displays need ophthalmoscopy, examination and taking a detachable eye for culture with the determination of the microbe and its sensitivity to antibiotics. Also it is necessary a detailed study of the immune system, blood glucose levels, especially in patients with recurrent process.
It is important to distinguish barley from similar manifestations of the disease - chalazion (Chronic inflammation of the meibomian glands of the cartilage in the century).
barley treatment
Barley treated ophthalmologists, recurrent barley treated in tandem with the therapist and immunologist.
At the first sign of barley should consult a doctor, it is not always possible to cure the barley at home independently and quickly.
First aid measures are:
- appointed inwardly antiinflammatory drugs (Nurofen, paracetamol, diclofenac)
- oral antibiotics,
- Local cauterization of 70% alcohol solution of green fodder,
- lay antibacterial ointment for the edge of the eyelid,
- akapyvayut eyes sulfatsil sodium 20%,
- bury Tobrex (antimicrobial agent)
- It is shown to infiltrate maturation dry heat (only the first 1-2 days).
To infiltrate resorption and formation neat scars shown:
- Wash with Lydasum application,
- blurring the edges century anti-inflammatory ointments,
- immunotherapy.
For large barley demonstrated autopsy abscess in the hospital with a washing wounds.
Prohibited use of traditional therapies - washing tea, herbs, heating potatoes, eggs, etc.
Uncomplicated barley held for a week, with self-treatment process may be delayed or complicated by the spread of infection in the eye socket.
