What to do if teenagers have dry eyes

Dry eyes are often more common among teenagers. Because children of this age are at the peak stage of eye use, their heavy academic workload forces them to use their eyes intensively for more than ten hours a day. In addition, the frequent use of mobile phones in recent years has become a cause of dry eyes in children. Dry eyes are a sign of dehydration in the eyes and are also an important factor in the formation of eye diseases such as myopia. Teenagers must protect their eyes and should master some methods to relieve eye fatigue.

1. Causes of dry eyes

It is caused by visual fatigue. Pay attention to the time spent reading, studying, using the computer, and sleeping time. If you use your eyes frequently, the time it takes for the tear film to evaporate will be significantly prolonged, leading to dry eyes. In addition, vitamin A deficiency can also cause dry eyes.

2. Eye protection measures for teenagers

1. Pay attention to the time you use your eyes. Watching TV or playing computer games for a long time is most likely to cause eye fatigue. The longer the time, the more serious the fatigue will be, and the vision will gradually decline. After reading or writing for a long time, you should take a break. Don't stare at the book all the time. You can stand up and look into the distance for a few minutes, or do eye exercises to relieve eyesight fatigue. Another thing is to ensure adequate sleep.

2. Pay attention to eye hygiene. The eyes are organs that are very susceptible to infection. If you do not pay attention to eye hygiene, it is easy to get infected with various eye diseases. If something gets into your eyes accidentally, do not rub it directly with your hands, because there are usually a lot of bacteria on your hands.

3. Pay attention to the light when using your eyes. Light can cause great damage to the eyes. Whether the light is too strong or too weak, it can easily cause eye irritation. Don't let your children read or write in weak light or sunlight, as that is most likely to cause myopia. It is also best to control the indoor lighting within a certain degree at night.

4. Pay attention to eye exercises. Physical exercise can enhance blood circulation and metabolism, supply the eyes with more nutrients, and enhance the eyes' resistance, which is an indirect exercise for the eyes. Direct exercise is eye exercises, which is a scientific method to protect eyesight.

5. Pay attention to your posture. We need to achieve three "ones", namely one fist, one inch, and one foot. One fist means that when a child sits in a seat to read or write, his chest should be kept one fist away from the desk; one inch means that when a child writes, the distance between the hand holding the pen and the tip of the pen should be kept one inch; one foot means that when a child reads, the distance between his eyes and the book should be kept one foot. These three "ones" are effective measures to keep the eye's visual axis at a normal distance.

6. Pay attention to nutritional balance. Eat a variety of fruits, green vegetables, grains, fish and eggs. Drinking plenty of water can also help relieve dry eyes. All red and orange fruits and vegetables contain vitamin A, especially carrots, red peppers, orange and yellow tomatoes. In addition to vitamin A, they are also rich in vitamin C, which is necessary for vision.

3. How to quickly relieve eye fatigue

1. Stand up and walk around, look into the distance out the window, move your eyes up and down, left and right, blink, exercise your eyes fully, and then close your eyes and rest for a few minutes.

2. Blink. Blinking is a natural massage for your eyes. Deliberately blinking 300 times, 3 to 5 times a day, can help clean your eyes.
