With the prolonged use of electronic devices by modern people, dry eyes have become a common health issue. The appearance of this symptom is often caused by factors such as excessive eye use, dry environment, and air pollution. The main manifestations of dry eyes are discomfort, foreign body sensation, dryness, redness, and even blurred vision. If not dealt with in a timely manner, it may cause long-term damage to the eyes.
One of the main reasons for dry eyes is prolonged staring at the screen. This will reduce the frequency of blinking, causing the tears on the surface of the eyes to evaporate too quickly, resulting in dryness of the eyes. In this case, the eyes cannot receive sufficient nourishment and are prone to discomfort.
In addition, excessively dry indoor air is also a common cause of dry eyes. Especially in winter, the use of air conditioning and heating makes indoor air dry, further exacerbating discomfort in the eyes.
To prevent dry eyes, the first step is to reduce the time spent using electronic devices for a long time. After a period of time, one should rest their eyes, look far or engage in eye exercises to help them relax. In addition, indoor humidity should be maintained and humidifiers should be used to improve the humidity of the air. Regular use of artificial tears can help keep the eyes moist and alleviate dryness symptoms.
In short, the problem of dry eyes cannot be ignored. We should start from multiple aspects, change bad habits, protect eye health, and reduce the harm of long-term use of electronic products to the eyes.
