2. Ways to protect your eyes

1. When using the computer or reading books or newspapers, it is best to take a 5-minute break every 30 minutes, stand up and walk around, or look out the window, so as to lengthen and distance your vision which has been focused on the close distance. The distance from the computer screen should not be less than 30 cm, and use radiation-proof certified goggles to avoid radiation damage to the eyes. If your eyes are dry and itchy, close your eyes and rest for a few minutes before opening them. Never rub your eyes with your hands. If there is no improvement, you should seek medical attention as another infection may be the cause.

2. Drink more water: Especially in air-conditioned offices or rooms, special attention should be paid to water replenishment, which can improve the dryness of eye mucosa.

3. 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 pay attention to the source of the drops. It is best to get them prescribed by a doctor, which is safer. 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, it is hard to say if you have an allergic constitution.

4. Cold and hot compresses: When your eyes are tired, you can use ice and hot compresses alternately to soothe your eyes, but do not ice or press on the eyeballs. The same goes for hot compresses. Do not apply more than 5 minutes at a time. You can rotate your eyes up and down and left and right. Do this several times. This can promote blood circulation around the eyes and is also very effective in improving dark circles caused by fatigue.

5. You can eat more foods containing beta-carotene: carrots, papaya, pumpkin, green vegetables, etc. Some people will make some wolfberry tea or cassia seed tea in the office, which are very helpful for the eyes.
