How to treat eye stones

Eye stones often refer to conjunctival stones. Conjunctival stones refer to yellow-white coagulum on the surface of the palpebral conjunctiva or fornix conjunctiva, which is rarely shown on the surface of the bulbar conjunctiva. It is more common in patients with chronic conjunctivitis or the elderly. Conjunctival stones are formed by the coagulation of exfoliated epithelial cells and denatured white blood cells, showing yellow-white stone-like changes. If conjunctival stones are located below the conjunctiva, the patient generally has no conscious symptoms; If the stones protrude from the conjunctiva surface, they may cause foreign body sensation, even corneal abrasion, photophobia and tears. Conjunctival stones located under the conjunctiva may not need treatment. If they protrude from the conjunctiva surface, they may be removed with a foreign body needle or sharp knife under topical anesthesia with elcaine.
