How to solve the problem of dry eyes?
Dry eyes are one of the eye health problems faced by more and more people in recent years. With the progress of modern science and technology, people face computer screens and mobile phone screens for a long time, and the fatigue and dryness of their eyes become normal. At the Optometry Department of Sun Yat sen University in Huangpu, Guangzhou, we provide a series of solutions to help people alleviate and solve the problem of dry eyes.
Effectively prevent dry eyes from eating and living habits
Diet and living habits play an important role in eye health. First of all, we should adhere to a diversified diet and take in enough vitamins and minerals. Vitamin A is very important for eye health. You can eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, red peppers, pig liver, etc. Secondly, pay attention to replenishing enough water to keep the body and eyes moist. In addition, correct use of glasses and isolation of screen radiation, and taking a rest every 30 minutes away from the screen are important ways to prevent dry eyes.
Teenagers and children in particular need attention because their eyes are still in the development stage. Avoid watching TV and using electronic equipment for a long time, especially in dim light. Eat more foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, nuts and flaxseed oil, to promote retinal health.
Use of eye drops and eye moisturizers
Eye drops and eye moisturizers are effective tools to relieve dry eyes. In Guangzhou Huangpu, the Optometry Department of Sun Yat sen University, we provide a variety of eye drops and eye moisturizers, which can be selected and used according to individual conditions.
People often think that dry eyes are caused by the lack of tears in the eyes, so eyedrops are one of the common solutions. However, dryness of the eyes is not always caused by insufficient tear, which may be related to changes in tear composition. Therefore, when choosing eyedrops, consult with an ophthalmologist to understand the individual situation and select the appropriate eyedrops.
In addition, eye moisturizers are also one of the common ways to relieve dry eyes. Replenishing eye water shortage is an important step to solve the problem of dryness. Eye moisturizer can provide continuous moisture, form a protective layer, and reduce the evaporation of eyes.
Eye protection and daily eye exercises
Eye protection and daily eye exercises play an important role in alleviating and preventing dry eyes. First, keep good hygiene habits, keep the eyes clean and avoid infection. Secondly, wear proper glasses to avoid eye fatigue.
Daily eye exercises are also important for improving eye health. Here are some simple ways to exercise your eyes: close your eyes and gently massage the acupoints around your eyes with your fingers; Squint your eyes, focus on distant objects, and then focus on nearby objects, so that the eyeball can get movement; After rubbing with both hands, gently cover your eyes and feel the heat to warm your eyes.

We can keep our eyes healthy and comfortable by adjusting our diet and living habits, using eye drops and eye moisturizers correctly, protecting our eyes and carrying out daily eye exercises.
