Eye fatigue is a very common symptom in ophthalmology. It can cause dry eyes, soreness, blurred vision, and even decreased vision. This will directly affect people's lives and work.

Staying up late to watch football will greatly increase the time you use your eyes, so you must pay attention to giving the skin around your eyes extra nutrition and moisturizing. It is worth noting that the skin around the eyes is relatively delicate. If nutrients cannot be introduced into the deep layers of the eye muscles in time, they will accumulate on the surface of the skin and cause additional burden.

In order to relieve the pressure and fatigue on the eye muscles caused by staring at the TV for a long time, it is best to do some relaxing movements in between watching the game, such as blinking subconsciously for 5 minutes, or applying a warm towel to the eyes for 10-15 minutes.

Apply tea to your eyes. Soak a towel in eyebright tea, lie down, and apply the warm towel to your eyes for 10-15 minutes. This will relieve eye strain, but be careful not to get the tea in your eyes. Also, let the eyebright tea cool for a while before dipping the towel in it.

Apply a warm compress to your eyes and rub your hands together until they feel warm. Then, close your eyes and cover the eye sockets with your palms, without putting pressure on your eyes, just cover them. Breathe slowly and deeply, and imagine darkness. Doing this for 20 minutes a day can help reduce eye fatigue.

Apply hot compress to the eyes, massage around the eyeballs, cover both eyes with a hot towel or handkerchief (while closing your eyes), 1 to 2 times a day, each time for about 10 to 15 minutes. You can also use your thumb to gently press the bones around the eye sockets, starting from the inner side above the eye sockets, massaging along the bones toward the outside of the eye, and then moving toward the nose, all of which can increase blood circulation in the eyes.

From the above article, we can know that hot compress is effective in relieving eye fatigue and will not produce any adverse effects. Eyes are the windows to our soul, so we must take good care of them. It is recommended that everyone should pay attention to their eye habits in daily life and try not to use their eyes for a long time to avoid eye discomfort.
