Patient's question:
An elderly person in the family has diabetes. Now she is not very mobile and has been lying in bed. Yesterday, we noticed that her eyes are constantly tearing. We don't know the reason for this and want to understand what the cause of tearing in the eyes due to diabetes is.Doctor's answer:
Based on the described symptoms, it is preliminarily judged that the conjunctivitis is caused by elevated blood sugar, which leads to an increase in eye discharge and tears flowing out. Therefore, it is advisable to actively control blood sugar levels under the guidance of a doctor, and to use Tobramycin eye drops. It is also recommended to visit the hospital for a thorough examination to rule out the recurrence of tear production caused by conjunctivitis, keratitis, or lacrimal gland disorders.
