Dangers of using hot water to fumigate eyes

Nowadays, people always stare at their mobile phones and computers, and they all suffer from overstrain of their eyes to varying degrees. Looking at the phone or staring at the computer screen for a long time will cause eye fatigue and poor blood circulation in the eyes, which can lead to many eye diseases. Therefore, some people thought of using hot water to fumigate their eyes to speed up blood circulation and relieve visual fatigue. We say that this is indeed an effective method, but there are also some precautions.

It is okay to use steam to fumigate your eyes. It can relieve eye fatigue and dry eyes, keep the skin around the eyes moisturized, reduce wrinkles, and most importantly, remove dark circles.

1. Pay attention to nutritional balance and eat more nuts

Eat more foods rich in calcium and protein, avoid picky eating, and control your intake of sweets. Because vitamin B1 is needed to metabolize sugar, excessive sugar intake will cause vitamin B1 deficiency and make you more likely to suffer from optic neuritis. Eating more nuts and chewing them more can strengthen eye muscle activity, improve eye blood circulation and reduce eye fatigue.

I look at the computer at work, stare at the phone after get off work, and sometimes sit face to face with the TV at night. Such high-intensity eye use has made eye fatigue a "daily routine" for many people. Most people choose to use eye drops to relieve dry and tired eyes. In fact, there are many ways to relieve eyestrain, and you can use them interchangeably according to your own situation. Many eye drops contain cooling ingredients such as mint and borneol, which can locally relieve conjunctival congestion. But the cooler the effect is, the better it is not the case. Moreover, each person feels differently about each type of eye drops. The main thing is to make the eyes feel comfortable. Excessive stimulation is not good. Moreover, eye drops should not be used too many times, especially avoid using the same eye drops for a long time.
