Do you feel overwhelmed when you open your eyes in the morning? Are your eyes dry, uncomfortable, or even have fluctuations in vision after prolonged use of electronic devices? With the significant increase in the frequency of mobile phone and computer usage, the number of dry eye patients is also increasing. Today, let's learn some popular science tips about dry eyes together. Dry eye is a chronic ocular surface disease caused by various factors, mainly manifested as abnormal quality or quantity of tears, leading to a decrease in the stability of the tear film that lubricates and protects the eyes, causing discomfort such as dryness, foreign body sensation, burning sensation, photophobia, and tearing. Many people will go to the pharmacy to buy eye drops and apply them to their eyes. For mild dry eye patients, it may temporarily relieve symptoms, but in fact, this is only a temporary "stopgap measure" and cannot effectively treat dry eye. The treatment of dry eyes needs to be tailored to specific types and degrees, such as hot compress, meibomian gland massage, artificial tear supplementation, anti-inflammatory treatment, etc. In addition, if other conditions such as dry mouth are combined, it is necessary to further clarify whether there are any systemic problems to avoid delaying the condition. The prevention of dry eyes is crucial, and in daily life, attention should be paid to eye hygiene. Avoid prolonged and excessive eye use. Friends with sleep disorders need to adjust their sleep. If there is no eye infection, you can apply a warm towel at 40 to 50 degrees Celsius to the eyes for 10 to 20 minutes, once a day. It should be noted that the temperature of the towel should not exceed 50 degrees Celsius. At the same time, a balanced diet is also crucial for preventing and alleviating dry eye. If dry eye symptoms persist and do not improve, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid worsening the condition. (New Society)
