How to detect early signs of heart disease in the eyes

Early Signs of Heart Diseases Appear in the Eyes

According to experts, Eye doctors may be able to detect signs of heart disease during a comprehensive eye exam. A new study finds that people with heart disease tend to have retinas marked by evidence of eye stroke.

Eye strokes happen when the eye is deprived of blood flow and oxygen, causing cells to die. This creates a mark, called a retinal ischemic perivascular lesion. These marks can be spotted when eye doctors run optical coherence tomography, or OCT is order to take a closer look at the retina.

OCT scans of the retina are valuable ways to detect disease and dysfunction in all parts of the body — not just the eyes. Eye scans can detect signs of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other underlying health conditions.

How eye exams can detect heart disease

The eye is the only place in the body where a doctor can see the live action of blood vessels, nerves and connecting tissue without relying on an invasive procedure. That’s why eye doctors are often the first to detect health conditions including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke and more.

While the marks left behind by eye strokes may be present in low numbers in healthy people, those with heart disease tend to have a far greater number. Researchers arrived at these results by reviewing the medical records of 84 people with heart disease and 76 healthy people, all of whom had received a retinal OCT scan.

Sex and the eyes: Pubic Lice and the Eyes

Pubic lice, commonly known as “crabs,” are a six-legged parasite most often found in the pubic hair. They’re a different species than the lice usually found on top of the head. However, pubic lice can show up on any hairy part of the body, including the eyebrows and eyelashes. The parasite attaches to the hair and then injects its saliva into the skin. This causes long-term itching and burning sensations in the skin.

Lice infestations are treatable and lice do not transmit any other diseases.

Sex and the eyes: HIV/AIDS and the Eyes

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can cause hemorrhages and strokes in the retina. Having HIV or AIDS can also open the door for a more serious retinal infection from a virus called cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV infection can lead to retinal detachment and blindness. AIDS can also cause a cancer called Kaposi’s sarcoma that can appear on the eyelids or conjunctiva. HIV infection can also make it easier for a person to get serious infections from other STDs.

Condoms and safer sex can reduce your risk of contracting HIV. Once a person has HIV or AIDS it can affect their eyes by traveling through the blood and body tissue.
