What causes eye pain?

With the improvement of living standards, people are under increasing pressure, which leads to many people not getting enough sleep every day and overusing their eyes, causing eye diseases of varying degrees. So what is the reason for swollen and painful eyes? Eyes are the most important organ in the human body. People should be kind to their eyes. Swollen and painful eyes may mean that there is an eye disease, which may be eye fatigue, dry eyes, myopia and other diseases.

If you have any problems with your eyes, you must go to a regular hospital for a professional eye examination and receive treatment after finding out the cause. People who use computers for a long time, or who are night drivers or people who work night shifts are very likely to experience eye pain.

Common causes of eye pain Eye pain, dry eyes, a foreign body sensation in the eyes, decreased vision and many other symptoms are all symptoms of visual fatigue. Visual fatigue is a common ophthalmological disease.

It is mostly caused by excessive use of the eyes and long-term lack of attention to eye protection. Experts say that under normal circumstances, the tears in a person's eye sockets will form a film that covers the surface of the cornea and conjunctiva, which is called the tear film. Every time a person blinks, a layer of tear film is formed to keep the eyes moist and comfortable, so it is not easy to produce

Symptoms such as dry eyes and fatigue occur. However, if you stare at a target for a long time, such as looking at a computer or reading a book, and the duration is too long, the blinking reflex is relatively small, which will cause the surface of the eye to dry out and cause symptoms of visual fatigue.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are three main ways to cause visual fatigue: 1. Liver and kidney deficiency. The ancients said: When the liver and kidney qi are full, the vision will be bright and splendid, while when the liver and kidney qi are insufficient, the vision will be dull and dizzy. The liver and kidneys have the same origin, the kidneys are where essence is stored, and the liver is where blood is stored. Liver blood depends on kidney essence for nourishment, and kidney essence depends on liver blood for replenishment. Only when the eyes are nourished by essence and blood can the vision be sharp. Therefore, if the liver and kidneys are sufficient, the eyes will be clear.

In addition, the liver has the function of dredging qi. Liver qi can directly reach the eyes, transporting essence, blood, and qi to the eyes, making them bright.

Swollen and painful eyes may also be caused by diseases in the liver and kidneys. You should drink more tea that improves eyesight, eat a light and reasonable diet, and eat more carrots, which are very good for the eyes. You should pay attention to eye rest, do more eye exercises and massages, or use some eye drops to relieve the symptoms.
