More info<\/p>\n<p>If you find your eyes are sensitive to light, it could be for an array of reasons, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eye infections<\/li>\n<li>Corneal damage<\/li>\n<li>Migraines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Migraines mostly go undiagnosed and untreated,&#8221; said Specart. &#8220;But they can have a serious effect on your sensitivity to light.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As for corneal damage, this could be caused by a tiny scratch that will heal in time.<\/p>\n<p>Itchy eyes might be indicative of allergies, such as dust, pollen or pet fur.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The body&#8217;s immune response triggers the release of histamines, causing irritation and itching,&#8221; Specart explained.<\/p>\n<p>Sticky eyes, on the other hand, could be a sign of conjunctivitis, which is a highly infectious condition.<\/p>\n<p>Caused by bacteria or viruses, conjunctivitis can lead to excessive tearing and discharge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you continuously find your eyes are sticky it might be a good idea to replace any makeup that you use on the eyes, change pillow covers routinely and stop touching your face throughout the day,&#8221; Specart suggested.<\/p>\n<p>Anybody experiencing eye issues is best advised to see an optometrist at their local opticians.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/health\/1815262\/eyes-colour-feel-uncover-hidden-health-problems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Amir reveals what eyes can reveal about our health Experts at Specart raised caution over bloodshot eyes, sensitivity to light, and dry or itchy eyes.
