Why is one eyeball swollen and painful?

Normally, people often do not blink when looking at mobile phones or reading books. This subconscious action makes people always unaware of it. Over time, they will feel soreness and swelling in the eyeballs, and they will be relatively dry. Some people overuse one eye and experience dryness. In this case, it is necessary to find the cause and slowly adjust it.

Eye fatigue, also known as visual fatigue, is the result of long-term tension in the ciliary muscles due to the eyes continuously looking at close objects. For teenagers, this is mostly a sign of myopia.

Patients feel swelling, soreness, and burning in the eyes; in severe cases, they may experience headaches, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and even nausea and vomiting. Self-treatment methods for eye fatigue:

1. Pay attention to the light. Too dim light can easily fatigue the eyes. It is better to use soft light that can provide light and dark contrast.

2. Every two to three hours of continuous computer use, you should take your eyes away from the computer for ten to fifteen minutes to give your eyes a rest.

3. Reduce the light of the screen and lower the brightness of the screen to avoid fatigue

4. Cover the computer with thick black cardboard to minimize the screen light.

5. Resting with your eyes closed is a good way to eliminate eye fatigue

6. Soak a towel in tea and apply it to your eyes for ten to fifteen minutes to eliminate eye fatigue.

7. Rub your hands together to generate heat, then cover your eyes. Do not press your eyes and breathe deeply and slowly. This will help eliminate eye fatigue.

8. Blinking 300 times can help clean your eyes and achieve a massage effect at the same time. People with eye fatigue should pay attention to the balance of diet and nutrition, and eat more coarse grains, whole grains, red and green vegetables, potatoes, beans, fruits and other foods containing vitamins, protein and fiber.

Now I would like to introduce to you the dietary prescription for eye fatigue:

1. Black bean, walnut and milk: 1 spoon of black bean powder, 1 spoon of walnut kernel paste, 1 packet of milk, 1 spoon of honey. Fry 500 grams of black beans, let them cool, and grind them into powder. 500 grams of walnut kernels, fry until slightly charred, remove the skin, and mash into a paste after cooling. Take 1 spoon of each of the above two foods, mix into 1 cup of boiled milk and add 1 spoon of honey, take it every morning or after breakfast, or take it with breakfast. Black beans are rich in protein and vitamin B1 and have high nutritional value. Because black foods enter the kidneys, they can increase the kidney-tonifying power when combined with walnut kernels. Add milk and honey, these foods contain more vitamin B1, calcium, phosphorus, etc., which can enhance the intraocular muscle strength, strengthen the regulatory function, and improve the symptoms of eye fatigue.

2. Wolfberry and mulberry porridge: 5 grams of wolfberry, 5 grams of mulberry, 5 grams of yam, 5 red dates, and 100 grams of japonica rice. Cook the above ingredients into porridge for consumption. The wolfberry and mulberry seeds in this recipe can nourish the liver and kidneys, while the yam and red dates can strengthen the spleen and stomach.
