Guangzhou Huangpu, Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry, CUHK: How to alleviate headaches caused by eye fatigue?
Eye fatigue is one of the common health problems of modern people. Looking at the computer screen or mobile phone screen for a long time is not only easy to cause eye fatigue, but also often accompanied by headache symptoms. Ophthalmologists point out that timely relieving eye fatigue is crucial to maintaining eye health. Next, we will elaborate on how to alleviate the headache caused by eye fatigue from several aspects.
Adjust the eye environment
First of all, we should optimize the eye environment and avoid staring at the electronic screen for a long time. Appropriate eye rest is required at regular intervals. For example, every 20-30 minutes, when you look at distant objects away from the screen, your eyes will have a short rest. In addition, the brightness, contrast and text size of the electronic screen should also be appropriate to reduce eye irritation. Maintaining appropriate indoor lighting conditions and avoiding glare and too strong indoor light also have certain effects on alleviating eye fatigue.
In addition, the air circulation in the office environment should also be paid attention to. Dry and dirty air will further aggravate the fatigue of eyes. Therefore, it is very important to keep the indoor air moist and fresh. If the office environment cannot meet this condition, you can choose to wear appropriate glasses or contact lenses to reduce external stimulation.
Strengthen eye exercises
Eye exercise is one of the effective ways to relieve eye fatigue. Appropriate eye exercises can effectively strengthen eye muscles and relieve headache caused by eye fatigue. Common eye exercises include: staring at distant objects, circling around the screen, eyeball up, down, left, right and so on. These exercises can promote the movement of eye muscles, increase blood circulation around the eyes, and alleviate eye fatigue symptoms.
In addition, ophthalmologists also recommend that eye exercises be carried out in conjunction with the use of warm eye masks to further strengthen the exercise of eye muscles and reduce eye fatigue. These exercises can be carried out between jobs, each lasting several minutes. Proper adherence to eye exercises can help relieve eye fatigue and headache.
Maintain correct eye position
It is also very important to maintain correct eye posture, which can not only reduce eye fatigue, but also prevent pain in cervical vertebra, shoulder and other parts. First of all, correct sitting posture is essential to protect eye health. The sitting posture should be straight, and the eyes should be kept at a proper distance from the electronic screen to avoid too much force on the eyes. For people who often need to use computers for a long time, they can choose to use screen filters to reduce reflection and glare and protect their eyes.
In addition, correct reading posture is also the key to alleviate eye fatigue. When reading, keep the distance between the book or document and the eyes appropriate, and avoid over squinting or over opening the eyes. With the help of a book shelf or support, keep the reading object at an appropriate angle to the eyes, and adjust the seat to a height suitable for reading.
Seek professional medical help
If the above methods cannot effectively alleviate the headache caused by eye fatigue, it is recommended to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. Guangzhou Huangpu Zhongda Optometry Department is a professional ophthalmic hospital with advanced equipment and an experienced team of doctors. Doctors can help patients timely relieve headache caused by eye fatigue through detailed examination and relevant treatment.
In short, relieving headaches caused by eye fatigue is an important part of maintaining eye health. By adjusting the eye environment, strengthening eye exercises, maintaining correct eye posture and seeking professional medical help, we can effectively deal with the headache caused by eye fatigue.
