What to do if your glasses are dry and itchy

There are many people who are addicted to their phones in our daily lives. They can spend more than ten hours looking at their phones every day. This will not only cause cervical spondylosis, but also cause excessive eye strain. The eyes will also become dry, red and swollen, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, after looking at the phone for a while, you should take a proper rest, look into the distance appropriately, and do eye exercises. So what should you do if your eyes are dry and itchy?

Especially in autumn, when the weather is dry, the problem of dry eyes becomes more obvious. Today, Jianyanjun will bring you some tips for "moistening your eyes":

1. Do not wear contact lenses or cosmetic lenses for a long time

Wearing contact lenses or cosmetic lenses for a long time can easily cause dry eyes. This is because contact lenses easily absorb moisture, causing dehydration of the eye surface. It is recommended not to wear it continuously for more than 8 hours a day.

2. Remember to blink more when using electronic devices

The normal blinking frequency is generally 15 to 20 times per minute. When looking at electronic screens, people often focus too much on it and forget to blink, which can cause dry and sore eyes over time.

3. Bird’s-eye view

Keep looking down at the electronic screen, and the eyelids can cover the upper part of the eyeball, effectively reducing tear evaporation and relieving dry eyes.

4. Close your eyes and rest

After every 2 hours of looking at a phone or computer, it is best to close your eyes and rest for 5-10 minutes. At the same time, you can do eye exercises or apply hot compresses to increase blood circulation in the eyes. Hot compresses are not recommended for people with eye inflammation.

5. Get enough sleep

Develop good living habits, try to get enough sleep, and reduce the time and frequency of staying up late.

6. Reduce dry air

If you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, the air will be relatively dry, so it is recommended to equip it with a humidifier.

7. Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet

Ensure adequate water intake every day, and take appropriate amounts of vitamin A, lutein, etc. Such as blueberries, carrots, etc.

8. Use artificial tears appropriately

The most common method of treating dry eyes is to use artificial tears, which can effectively relieve symptoms. However, it should be noted that patients who are not dry eyes should not rely too much on artificial tears. Long-term and frequent use of artificial tears is not good.
