Why are your eyes dry?
Dry eyes are a common eye problem, which brings discomfort to many people. There are many reasons for dry eyes. Let's discuss them below.
First, staring at computers, mobile phones and other electronic products for a long time is one of the main reasons for dry eyes. The use of these electronic products will reduce the number of blinks, thereby reducing the secretion of tears, resulting in insufficient lubrication of the eye surface.
Secondly, environmental factors are also important reasons for dry eyes. Air conditioning, heating, etc. in living or working environment can make indoor air dry, and dry air will cause rapid evaporation of eye moisture, which will dry the eye surface.
In addition, the problem of the eye itself is also one of the reasons for dry eyes. For example, insufficient tear secretion or poor tear film quality can lead to dry eyes.
How to alleviate dry eyes?
For dry eyes, we can take some simple measures to alleviate the symptoms.
First of all, take eye rest at regular intervals to avoid staring at electronic products for a long time. You can try to look at the distance every 20 minutes or perform eye movements to help alleviate eye fatigue.
Secondly, keeping indoor air moist is also an important measure to alleviate the problem of dry eyes. Humidifier or water basin can be used to increase indoor humidity to reduce evaporation of water on the surface of the eyeball.
Another very simple measure is to blink more. Blinking can help lubricate the eye surface and increase the secretion of tears.
When do I need to see a doctor?
Although xerophthalmia can generally be alleviated through the above measures, it is recommended to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible if the following conditions occur:
First, dry eyes are accompanied by pain, blurred vision and other symptoms, which may be caused by other eye diseases, and need professional doctors to diagnose and treat.
Second, dry eyes last for a long time and cannot be alleviated for a long time. It may be because there is a problem with the eyes themselves, which needs further examination by professional doctors.
Third, dry eyes cannot be alleviated through the above simple measures, and drugs or other treatment methods may be required. At this time, we also need to see a doctor for professional treatment.
