On the 3rd, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine held a special press conference on "Traditional Chinese Medicine and Children's and Adolescents' Health" to promote the health of traditional Chinese medicine in Healthy China. At the meeting, a reporter asked: In modern society, mobile phones, televisions, and electronic products are particularly popular, and children's screen time has also been extended. What are the measures for regulating symptoms such as frequent blinking, dry eyes, or visual fatigue in traditional Chinese medicine? Kang Zefeng, director of the National Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Myopia in Children and Adolescents with Traditional Chinese Medicine, provided an answer to this question. Kang Zefeng said that the incidence rate of eye fatigue, dry eyes, myopia and other diseases is very high, which is manifested by dry and uncomfortable eyes, fatigue, frequent blinking and other symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine has rich experience and methods, and unique therapeutic advantages in preventing and improving these symptoms. Kang Zefeng pointed out that eye health exercises are a very good method that can be widely promoted and applied. It is also a type of acupoint massage that should adhere to the "accurate, sufficient, timely, and long-lasting" eight character principle. Not only children can do it, but adults can also do it, and it should be done twice a day. Acupoint massage can choose acupoints such as Jing Ming, Si Bai, Cheng Qi, Si Zhu Kong, and temple. In addition, Kang Zefeng stated that applying relevant traditional Chinese medicine for eye fumigation based on syndrome differentiation can also improve these symptoms. By dissolving traditional Chinese medicine ingredients in water and heating them, steam can be applied to the eyes to promote blood circulation, regulate tear secretion, alleviate eye discomfort, improve dryness, fatigue, foreign body sensation, and other symptoms. For example, using chrysanthemum, cassia seed, goji berry, mulberry leaf, and other herbs soaked in water for heating and fumigation. In a home environment, it is also very easy to operate. These traditional Chinese medicines can be used as tea drinks to brew. After the tea is cooked, the heat emitted by it can be used to fumigate the eyes to relax them. After fumigation, the tea soup can be directly consumed. This method can be used not only by children but also by parents, but attention should be paid to the distance of fumigation to avoid burns. Kang Zefeng also pointed out that "the appropriate techniques of traditional Chinese medicine mentioned earlier include ear acupressure pill technique, including acupressure needle, plum blossom needle, etc., which can also be used for the prevention and treatment of dry eye and visual fatigue. By taking traditional Chinese medicine orally to regulate the internal organs of the whole body, good clinical efficacy has been achieved, especially for moderate to severe dry eye and visual fatigue, which can greatly improve the symptoms of our patients and prevent recurrence. However, it should be used under the guidance of professional doctors
