What to do if your eyes are too dry?

In daily life, many people need to face computers, mobile phones and other electronic products for a long time due to work reasons, which can easily cause symptoms such as dry eyes. This is the most distressing thing for many office workers. If it goes on for a long time without relieving the symptoms of dry eyes, it is easy to aggravate eye diseases. Many people think that dry eyes are not a disease and do not need medical treatment. In fact, long-term dry eyes will cause other eye diseases.

What to do if your eyes are too dry?

1. Maintain a good sitting posture and proper distance and height from the computer screen

A good office sitting posture and ensuring the appropriate distance and height between the computer and the eyes are very important, which directly affects the safety and hygiene of the eyes. In general, we should keep the monitor facing downward in a natural and comfortable direction, and the distance should be kept at about 60 cm. I have noticed that many people like to place their monitors in the front left corner, which makes it easy to squint. Also, many people like to lie in front of the computer, very close to the monitor, which increases the damage to the eyes.

2. When you feel tired, look out the window and see the distance.

Generally speaking, we need to take a break after looking at the computer for about an hour. When you feel your eyes are tired, you must pay attention to rest. We stare at the computer at such a close distance while working, so the best way to rest and adjust is to look into the distance, look out the window more often, or even better, go to the balcony, look at the distant scenery, and look at more green plants. This will be very helpful in relieving and adjusting eye fatigue. At the same time, you can also give your brain a good rest. Only those who know how to rest can work!

3. Use a large cup of hot water to allow the steam to moisturize the skin around the eyes and promote blood circulation

When we drink water normally, we can try to pour a cup of relatively hot water and let the water vapor moisturize and add moisture to the eyes and surrounding skin. At the same time, it can stimulate blood circulation around the eyes, promote metabolism, and assist in a slight massage, which can effectively relieve dry and tired eyes.

4. If your eyes feel dry, blink more often or use moisturizing eye drops

When you feel your eyes are very dry, pay attention to blinking more often consciously. This can promote the secretion of certain secretions to moisturize the eyes. If your eyes are severely dry, you can use some moisturizing eye drops to relieve the symptoms, but don't do it too frequently, as this may make your eyes dependent on the eye drops, which is not good.

5. Do not use the computer in direct sunlight, reflection from the monitor or in dim conditions

Many of our office buildings now have poor lighting and the lights are turned on all day long, but sometimes we forget to turn on the lights, which makes the monitors appear particularly dazzling and very painful to the eyes. Some people sit next to the window, where the entire wall is made of glass. The light is very glaring, and the sunlight even shines directly onto the monitor, making it impossible to open their eyes, and they have to squint while working, which is very harmful to the eyes.

6. Pay attention to eating more vitamins

For those of us who face the computer for a long time every day and have dry and tired eyes, we should pay a little attention to and adjust our daily diet and eat more foods rich in vitamins, as these foods are very good for protecting the eyes. For example: various green vegetables and fruits, beans, various whole grains, and carrots, etc., instead of just eating various greasy meat dishes.
