Eye Discharge & Squinting

The presence of discharge from the eyes can indicate an infection or inflammation in the eye. The discharge may be watery, sticky, or pus-like in consistency and can be accompanied by other symptoms such as redness, itching, or blurred vision. Possible causes of eye discharge include conjunctivitis (pink eye), dry eyes, allergies, blepharitis (eyelid inflammation), or a more severe eye infection. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause, so it’s best to seek medical attention.

Squinting refers to the act of partially closing one or both eyes. It can be a response to discomfort, pain, sensitivity to light, or a vision problem.

Squinting helps reduce the amount of light entering the eye and can be a sign of an underlying eye condition. Some possible causes of squinting include refractive errors (such as nearsightedness or farsightedness), astigmatism, strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), corneal injury or infection, or a foreign object in the eye. A comprehensive eye examination by an eye doctor can help determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Eye discharge and squinting can be symptoms of various eye conditions, ranging from minor issues to more serious underlying problems. It is important to consult with an eye doctor or healthcare provider for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and guidance on the most suitable treatment options.
