Symptoms of Eye Strain

With the ever-accelerating pace of life and the rapid development of the economy, mental labor has gradually replaced physical labor. Too much mental labor requires using the eyes for too long, causing eye fatigue. So what are the symptoms of eye fatigue? As an office worker, you must learn to protect your glasses and not let your eyes be in a state of fatigue for a long time, which is bad for your eyesight. You should master some methods appropriately.

Eyes are the windows to the soul. If you want to keep them beautiful and shining forever, you must learn to protect your eyes. There is no strict standard for the symptoms of eyestrain. If you feel your eyes are uncomfortable or tired, you should take proper rest. You can combine the appropriate methods, as introduced below:

If you sit in front of the computer for a long time, it is easy to feel dry eyes, foreign body sensation, unclear vision, and even tears and swelling and pain. This is medically called "load-induced visual fatigue syndrome". Even in this situation, there are still many people who cannot rest due to work needs. At this time, you can use the following methods to quickly eliminate eye fatigue.

Eye rotation method: When the head rotates up, down, left and right, the eyeballs move with it. Staring at something for a long time is extremely harmful to the eyes. The high tension of nerves can cause swelling of the eyes and impairment of optic nerve function. Rolling your eyes regularly can help you relax.

Blinking method: Tilt your head back and blink continuously to get the blood flowing. Blink 2-3 times each time. The normal number of times a person blinks is about 15 times per minute, but when one is concentrating, one only blinks 2-3 times per minute. This causes excessive evaporation of tears on the surface of the eye, which cannot be replenished in time, and over time will cause inflammation on the surface of the eye. Blinking can lubricate and protect the eyeball.

Massage method: Relax your whole body, close your eyes, inhale and exhale evenly, press the Jingming point at the depression at the root of the nose bridge between the eyes with your middle finger, massage along the edge of the eye socket clockwise and counterclockwise 8 times each, then open your eyes and rotate your eyeballs clockwise and counterclockwise 15 times each.

Alternating hot and cold compress method: Soak a towel in warm water at about 50℃ and apply it to the eyes for about 5 minutes to increase blood circulation in the eyes; then soak another towel in cold water with ice cubes and apply it to the eyes for 5 minutes, alternating between the two methods.

In addition to these temporary methods of relieving fatigue, paying attention to rest and regularly participating in physical activities are also good ways to effectively eliminate eyestrain. In particular, sports such as table tennis or badminton that can exercise eyesight and eye tracking ability can relax the ciliary muscles of the eyes and promote the coordination of the eye movement muscles.

How can people who use computers "love their eyes"

With the popularization of computers, operating computers is almost an indispensable part of modern people's lives. Many people have to stare at computer screens all day long due to work needs. After a long time, it is easy to get visual fatigue and even induce other eye diseases, such as glaucoma. Therefore, people who often use computers should pay attention to eye health.

The above introduces the symptoms of eyestrain and methods to relieve eyestrain. I hope it will be helpful to you. These methods do not require any location restrictions and can be easily done while sitting at your desk. You can protect your eyesight. Also, be careful not to play with your mobile phone all the time. Frequent use of your phone will be bad for your eyesight.
