How to prevent obstruction of lacrimal passage
The obstruction of lacrimal passage is a common eye disease, which may lead to the failure of normal discharge of tears, resulting in eye redness, swelling, tears overflow and other uncomfortable symptoms. In order to effectively prevent the occurrence of lacrimal duct blockage, we can start from the following aspects.
Maintain eye hygiene
Keeping eye hygiene is one of the basic measures to prevent lacrimal passage blockage. Regularly clean eyes and skin around eyes to avoid accumulation of bacteria and dirt. You can use warm water to gently scrub your eyes, and avoid using too strong cosmetics and eye care products.
In addition, correct use of glasses and contact lenses, and timely replacement and cleaning of lenses are also important steps to maintain eye health. Try to avoid the eyes from being eroded by dust, smoke and other external substances, so as to reduce the risk of eye infection.
If foreign body feeling, pain or other abnormal symptoms are found in the eyes, seek medical advice in time to receive eye examination and treatment.
Eye massage and hot compress
Eye massage and hot compress can promote eye blood circulation, accelerate the secretion and discharge of tears, and help prevent and improve the symptoms of lacrimal duct blockage.
When massaging the eyes, gently massage the area around the eyes in a clockwise direction. Massage time and strength are moderate, and excessive force should not be used to avoid discomfort.
Hot compress can be applied to closed eyes with clean towel soaked in warm water for 15-20 minutes each time, which can be repeated many times. Keep the eyes closed during the hot compress, and pay attention to the proper water temperature to avoid scalding the eye skin.
Standardize the habit of using eyes
Good eye habits are very important to prevent clogging of the lacrimal passage. Staring at computers, mobile phones and other screens for a long time is likely to lead to eye fatigue and dryness, thus increasing the risk of clogging the tear ducts.
In order to prevent clogging of the lacrimal passage, attention should be paid to properly adjust the time of eye use, close your eyes every other time for a rest, or look at distant scenery for visual relaxation. Keep the indoor light suitable and avoid too strong or too weak light to reduce eye fatigue.
In addition, pay attention to a healthy diet. Eating foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin C will help improve the health and resistance of the eyes and reduce the chance of clogging the tear ducts.
