Winter eye protection rules

Eye care is an issue that everyone needs to pay attention to, and now in life many people actually suffer from myopia or some eye diseases. This is closely related to some eye habits and lifestyle in their lives. So I must pay more attention to eye care. Let’s learn about the rules of eye protection in winter.

Protecting eyes is everyone's responsibility, but not everyone can master the methods and abide by the rules. Therefore, I hope that after fully understanding these common sense, everyone can truly protect their eyes in a healthy and scientific way and avoid damage to their eyes.

Under normal circumstances, part of the tears secreted by the lacrimal glands are used to lubricate the eyeballs, while the other part flows into the nasal cavity through the lacrimal canaliculi, lacrimal sac, and lacrimal duct. If the tear duct system is blocked or narrowed, tears cannot be discharged normally. In addition, the stimulation of cold air will reflexively cause the tear glands to secrete more tears, so that the lacrimal ducts cannot immediately discharge the excess tears, and the tears will flow out unconsciously.

Generally speaking, normal functional tearing in the wind is a physiological phenomenon and does not require treatment. For some patients suffering from trachoma, chronic conjunctivitis and lacrimal duct inflammation, if not treated in time, it may lead to serious consequences of eye infection, causing keratitis, cataracts, etc., and they need to go to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital or a professional ophthalmology hospital for detailed examination.

To reduce the chance of "being struck by cold wind and having tears in your eyes", the first thing to do is to pay attention to wind protection and heat preservation, try not to go out, and avoid contact with cold air. For people rushing to work in the morning and people doing morning exercises in the cold wind, it is best to wear masks, scarves and glasses to protect against the wind when going out, and try not to let the cold wind blow directly into your eyes. Secondly, eat more fruits and vegetables, pay attention to personal hygiene, and don't rub your eyes with your hands. Washbasins and towels should be used by individuals only. Be sure to wash your hands before they touch your eyes. When wiping tears, use a clean handkerchief to fully protect your eyes. Gently press from the cheekbones to the inside and above to absorb the tears. Avoid wiping your eyes up and down, left and right.

Now that we know the rules for protecting our eyes in winter, we hope that everyone can pay more attention to these issues in life and abide by these rules. This will help us prevent various eye diseases and ensure the health of our eyes. We should avoid excessive use of our eyes in our lives.
