könnyezéses

Könnyezéses is a Hungarian term that translates to "lachrymation" or "tearing" in English. It refers to the excessive or abnormal production of tears from the eyes. This can be a symptom of various underlying conditions, ranging from mild irritations to more serious medical issues.

Common causes of könnyezéses include environmental factors such as exposure to smoke, dust, strong winds, or bright sunlight. Allergies, particularly seasonal allergies (hay fever), can also trigger increased tear production as the eyes attempt to flush out allergens. Infections, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) or blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), are another frequent cause, often accompanied by redness, itching, and discharge.

Medical conditions that can lead to könnyezéses include blocked tear ducts, which prevent proper drainage of tears, causing them to overflow. Injury to the eye, foreign bodies, or even certain neurological conditions can also result in excessive tearing. In some cases, dryness of the eyes can paradoxically lead to increased tearing as the eye tries to compensate for the lack of lubrication.

Treatment for könnyezéses depends entirely on the underlying cause. Simple irritations may resolve on their own or with over-the-counter eye drops. For allergies, antihistamines or specific allergy treatments may be recommended. Infections require medical attention and often antibiotic or antiviral medications. Blocked tear ducts might necessitate procedures to clear the obstruction. Persistent or severe könnyezéses should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.
