Let's start with asthenopia
The solution to asthenopia is to develop a good habit of using eyes. It is recommended to reduce the use of eyes and have more rest in addition to studying and working.
If you often suffer from asthenopia and wear myopia glasses, you may also need to check whether the glasses are suitable.
Talk about dry eye again
The eye is like a sink. There is water (the lacrimal gland secretes tears), and there is water (the tears volatilize or flow through the nasolacrimal duct to the nose). Only by increasing the water inflow and reducing the water outflow, can the eyes stay dry.
There is water and oil in normal tears. The oil in tears usually floats on the water surface, forming a tear film to protect the water below from volatilization. If there is less oil, a stable oil film can not be formed. Without the protection of the oil film, the water will be dried by the wind, which will cause the cornea to be particularly dry (dry eyes).
Therefore, the treatment of dry eyes is to fill the eyes with water and oil.
one Drink more water to ensure the supply of tears and solve the problem of water shortage from the source.
two Increase air humidity and reduce water evaporation on the eye surface. (Buying a humidifier will help)
three Drop artificial tears (e.g Sodium hyaluronate eye drops ）, add water to the eyes (if it is sensitive, consider using a product without preservatives, but as long as it is qualified, it is OK to use preservatives).
four Hot compress. Hot compress+massage can dredge the tarsal gland ducts and help to form tear film.
five take a rest. Every 20 minutes, look at the distance with your eyes, get up and have a rest for at least 20 seconds.
six Omega-3 fish oil can be taken orally to promote meibomian gland to generate more oil.
seven It is recommended not to tattoo eyeliner. Because the eyeliner will significantly block the outlet of the meibomian gland, aggravating the dysfunction of the meibomian gland.
eight For dry eyes that are really serious, it is necessary to block the tear spots to prevent tears from flowing away. You have to go to the hospital to see an ophthalmologist. After the examination, you will know whether to do it or not.
Finally, some dry eyes are simple eye diseases, called " xerophthalmia ", just do as mentioned above to improve.
But some dry eyes are " Sjogren's syndrome ".
Sjogren's syndrome is an ophthalmic manifestation of systemic immune system diseases. If there are dry mouth, joint pain or deformity, rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis, vaginal dryness and other symptoms in addition to dry eyes, attention should be paid, because Sjogren's syndrome requires systemic treatment.
