This is how teenagers can prevent dry eyes

With the popularization of electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, eye problems among teenagers are becoming more and more serious, especially dry eyes, which are very common in daily life. Lack of sleep, dry environment, long working hours, unstable hormone levels and other reasons can cause dry eyes. You can prevent and treat dry eyes by maintaining good work and life habits, eating a reasonable diet and drinking more green tea and oolong tea.

1. Causes of dry eyes in teenagers

1. Due to physiological reasons such as advanced age, lack of sleep, and mental stress, the quality of tears decreases.

2. The environment, such as a dry room, causes increased evaporation of tears.

3. When you engage in computer operation, driving, reading or other fine work for a long time, the number of times you blink decreases.

4. Due to contact lenses, allergic conjunctivitis, air pollution, ultraviolet rays and other reasons, the tears decrease and their quality declines.

5. Dry eyes may occur in women after childbirth due to unstable hormone levels, improper eye use during the confinement period, or emotional instability and crying.

The dryness of teenagers' eyes is closely related to the environment in which they study and the length of time they study.

2. What should teenagers do if they have dry eyes?

Currently, there is no cure for dry eye syndrome, and artificial tears are mostly used clinically to relieve symptoms. Therefore, for teenagers with dry eyes, prevention is the priority.

3. How can teenagers prevent dry eyes?

1. Maintaining good work and life habits is an effective way to prevent dry eyes. First of all, you should avoid operating the computer for a long time and take breaks in between. Usually operate continuously for 1 hour, with a break of 5 to 10 minutes. When resting, you can close your eyes, look into the distance, do eye exercises, massage the acupoints around the eyes, etc.

2. People who work in front of computers for a long time should pay attention to the rationality of their diet. They should eat more soy products, fish, milk, walnuts, green vegetables, cabbage, water spinach, tomatoes and fresh fruits.

3. Drink more green tea and oolong tea. Tea is rich in carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. Vitamin A has a health-care effect on people who often use computers. It can not only reduce the harm of computer radiation to the human body, but also prevent dry eye syndrome.

The best way for teenagers to prevent dry eyes is to avoid using their eyes for long periods of time, and to take necessary protective measures when their eyes become dry.
