What should I do if I can't see clearly?

In real life, many people are prone to blurred vision. This is usually a symptom caused by long-term excessive use of the eyes or eye fatigue. Blurred eyes can be relieved by massage, doing some eye exercises, or using some fatigue-relieving eye drops to improve the condition.

How to relieve blurry eyes

If you stare at one thing for a long time, or read for too long, your eyes will become blurry or the image will have double images. This is because you are overusing your eyes, which leads to eye fatigue. The effective solution is to take a break.

Some students suddenly feel that they can't see the words on the blackboard clearly for a period of time. This may be caused by myopia. Of course, in the early stages, it is best to see a doctor, as it may be pseudomyopia. If you are really nearsighted, you need to wear glasses.

If you feel a pulling and astringent sensation at the corners of your eyes when you lift your eyelids, then this is caused by lack of water in your eyes. That is, dry eyes and blurry vision. At this time, you need to drink more water to improve this phenomenon.

Sometimes, blurred vision may be caused by inflammation, such as conjunctivitis or styes. In this case, the vision of the eye will be affected. The best way, of course, is to cure these diseases first, and then you will see clearly.

The elderly generally suffer from more eye diseases, such as cataracts or glaucoma. These can cause blurry eyes. Therefore, if this happens, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease.

Caused by emotions. Sometimes, if you are too sad, your vision may become blurry. This is temporary blurred vision caused by a pinched nerve. In this case, it is best to have a good rest and adjust your personal mood.

Preventing Myopia

Improve your eye posture when using your eyes at close range

Close eye posture is another factor that affects the incidence of myopia. When using your eyes at close range, your body should remain still, sit upright, and place the book about 30 cm away from your eyes. Bad habits such as riding in a car, lying in bed, or reading with the head tilted at a desk will increase the burden of eye adjustment and increase the pressure of the extraocular muscles on the eyeball. Especially for primary and secondary school students, whose eyes are in the development stage, long-term bad eye posture can easily cause abnormal development of the eyeball and lead to the formation of myopia. The posture for reading and writing should be correct. If the posture is not correct for a long time, it is easy to compress one eye and cause pseudomyopia. When writing, it is best to let the light shine on the book from the front left to avoid the light being blocked by the right hand when writing.

When watching TV, pay attention to the height which should be level with your line of sight; the distance between your eyes and the TV should be 5-6 times greater than the diagonal length of the fluorescent screen, and there should be a certain amount of background light in the room.

Shorten the time of using eyes at close range

In addition to pathological factors, the vision loss of most students is due to the decline of the eye's accommodation function. Using eyes at close range for long periods of time in poor lighting conditions is the main cause of myopia and its progression, and should be avoided as much as possible. Usually, when using your eyes at close range, you should take a 10-15 minute break every 45-50 minutes. When resting, you should look into the distance. In addition, if you feel any discomfort in your eyes, you should rest immediately.

Increase outdoor activities

Taking part in more outdoor activities/sports can not only promote blood circulation, but also give the eyes more time to look into the distance. It can also help relax the eye muscles/nerves. Its role in protecting vision is self-evident.

Reduce blue light radiation

Mobile phones, computers, televisions, and LED screens of digital products contain high-energy blue light, which is a type of visible light with strong penetrating power. Prolonged exposure to blue light is harmful to the human eye. Growing adolescents should try to shorten their screen time, and it is best to put a blue light blocking film on the screen for protection.
