Bloodshot eyes

When red bloodshot appears in our eyes, we should reduce our workload and take a rest in time. At night, drinking a glass of milk before going to bed can help you sleep better. Good sleeping habits can greatly relieve the fatigue of our eyes. If your eyes are dry and itchy, you can close your eyes and rest for a while, and then open your eyes. Drinking more water can also protect your eyes well.

Why do red blood streaks appear?

First of all, we should know that our eyes are usually white because there are tiny capillaries in the eyes, which are usually invisible. That is to say, there are bloodshot in the eyes. Because there are blood vessels in the eyes, when we don’t sleep well, the blood vessels become congested, and the bloodshot will be more serious than usual. Of course, some people are born with thicker eye blood vessels than others. When our eyes are over-tired or infected, blood vessels may rupture and cause retinal bleeding.

What should we do when red bloodshot eyes appear?

1. When using a computer or reading, it is best to take a 10-minute break every hour and try to relax outdoors. If conditions limit, you can choose to look out the window. Keep the distance from the computer screen at least 30 cm. It is recommended to place a cup of hot water next to the computer from time to time.

2. If your eyes are dry and itchy, close your eyes and rest for a while, then open them again. Never rub your eyes with your hands. To prevent bacteria on your hands from infecting your eyes and causing inflammation.

3. Drink more water when working or studying, especially in air-conditioned offices or rooms. Pay special attention to water replenishment, which can improve the dryness of the eye mucosa and prevent dry eyes.

4. Eye drops, saline solution, artificial tears: People who wear contact lenses often rely on this type of eye drops to protect their eyes; some people buy eye drops at the pharmacy to prevent dry eyes, but you should pay attention to the choice of drops. It is best to have them prescribed by a doctor, which is more reliable. Because most eye drops or artificial tears contain preservatives or fungicides for easy storage, most people should not have too many problems using them. However, if you use them for a long time or have an allergic constitution, you should be cautious.
