Can high blood pressure cause subconjunctival hemorrhage?

Yes, those who have high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus are liable to suffer subconjunctival hemorrhage because high blood pressure could aggravate the pathological changes of fundus blood vessel, increasing the possibility of subconjunctival hemorrhage. You should go to the hospital for an eye examination on schedule and control your blood pressure actively. First of all, you need to control the intake of the amount of energy. I advocate taking compound saccharides such as starch, maize, do not take much monosaccharide such as amylaceum, fructopyranose and saccharose, which could raise the blood fat. Secondly, control the intake of the amount of the fat. Cook food with plant oil and eat more marine fish with unsaturated fatty acid. Thirdly, ingest appropriate amount of protein. One gram of protein a day is agreeable. Fourthly, take more food with rich calcium and potassium but low sodium, such as potatoes, eggplants, sea-tangle, asparagus lettuce, milk, yoghurt, and dried small shrimps. Eat less broth. Fifthly, restrict the ingest of salt. Sixthly, take more fresh vegetables and fruits. Wish you healthy.

How to make your eyes not swollen in the morning?

Try and cut back on the salt in your diet because salt can actually cause the puffy bags under your eyes. After waking up, try putting on a cool, moist teabag (just dip 2 unused teabags into cold water and wring out any extra water) onto both of your eyes and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Make sure it covers the whole eye(s). It should take away some of the puffiness. If it doesn't work, try asking a doc for help. Hope this helps! :)

Does eye color affect night vision?

The darker the eyes, the more light is absorbed as light waves pass through the eye, and the less light is available to reflect within the eye. Light reflection (scatter) within the eye can cause susceptibility to glare (eg. sun or headlights) and to poor contrast discernment. Thus it seems that people with darker eyes may have better vision in high-glare situations, perhaps this makes them better night drivers, for example.Eye colour may also affect your colour vision. Here it seems that lighter eyes may provide some advantages.So it seems to me that blue-eyed people should really go for dark-eyed partners, this way one can pick the paint colours, and the other can drive home at night.
