In addition, sometimes there is a foreign body feeling in the eyes, which makes people want to rub their eyes.
There are many reasons for dry eyes, such as insufficient secretion of tears, rapid evaporation of water on the eye surface, dysfunction of the palpebral gland, etc. In order to alleviate the dryness of eyes, some simple methods can be taken, such as often squinting to rest, keeping away from irritants, and properly humidifying the environment. If the situation is serious, it is recommended to see a doctor in time.

There are many reasons for blurred vision, including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, etc. It may also be caused by problems on the surface of the eye or optic neuropathy.
For the treatment of blurred vision, it is necessary to identify the causes first, and then carry out the corresponding treatment. For myopia, hyperopia and other refractive errors, glasses or contact lenses can be worn to correct them. For other reasons of blurred vision, such as the problem of eyeball surface, surgery may be required. Therefore, for blurred vision, it is best to go to a regular hospital as early as possible for professional examination and diagnosis.

There are many reasons for redness and swelling of eyes, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, blepharitis, allergic ophthalmia, etc.
The treatment for redness and swelling of the eyes varies from case to case. In some cases, it can be alleviated by simple methods such as cleaning eyes and applying ointment. However, more serious redness and swelling may require further examination and treatment. For example, laser therapy, surgical resection of diseased tissue, etc. Therefore, it is best to go to a professional eye hospital for treatment when you find your eyes red and swollen.
