When is the best time to use eye drops?

Drink water when you are thirsty, rest when you are tired, and massage the sore part more if you have any pain in your body. What should we do if our eyes are tired and sore? Eye exercises are a good massage method to protect the eyes. Of course, there are many other ways to protect the eyes besides eye exercises. For example, there are many things to pay attention to when applying eye drops. For example, when should we apply eye drops?

Whenever people feel eye discomfort, they always use eye drops to treat it themselves, but they don't know that this poses a huge hidden danger. Not to mention whether the eye drops are chosen correctly, not everyone is clear about the process of using eye drops.

First of all, when putting eye drops in, you should open your eyes and look up, gently pull the skin of the lower eyelid with your fingers to expose the lower conjunctival sac, and put the eye drops in the lower conjunctival sac instead of putting the eye drops on the eyeball, because the cornea is sensitive, fragile and easily feels pain.

At the same time, do not press the eyeball when applying eye drops. After applying the eye drops, press the inner corners of the eyes with your fingers to prevent the eye drops from entering the nasal cavity and throat through the nasolacrimal duct. When applying two or more eye drops at the same time, there should be an interval of 2 to 3 minutes. If the eye drops are a suspension, they should be shaken well before applying. One drop of eye drops is enough, and more than one drop is useless.

Eye drops should not be used for a long time, because long-term use can stimulate conjunctival hyperplasia and cause adverse reactions such as conjunctival epithelial damage. Therefore, when you have eye discomfort, do not abuse eye drops, and go to a regular hospital in time to avoid delaying treatment.

There is no fixed time for using eye drops. You can use it according to your own situation. When necessary, eye drops can be applied to the eyes to relieve complications of eye diseases. So when your eyes are overly tired and sore, remember to use eye drops to relieve the symptoms of soreness. Do eye exercises regularly and keep your eyes clean.
