8 Things Your Eyes Are Trying To Tell You About Your Health

2. Eyebrow loss

There are lots of reasons for eyebrow loss: aging, stress, or nutrient deficiency. Alopecia areata, or spot baldness, can be another reason, though it affects no more than 0.1% of the population.

A more plausible reason for eyebrow loss is hypothyroidism — an acute shortage of thyroid hormones that in extreme cases can lead to hair loss. So if your hair is thinning, it’s better to visit your doctor and check the state of your thyroid gland.

3. Blurred vision

Many of us spend hours on computers at home or at work, which causes burning eyes or blurred vision. Nowadays this situation occurs so often that there’s a special term in medical practice that describes vision problems connected with prolonged computer, cell phone, or e-book use: “digital eye strain“ or ”dry eye syndrome.” If you recognize these symptoms, discuss with your doctor the ways to solve this problem.
