What to do if your eyes are dry and itchy

For people who work in the office for a long time, dry and itchy eyes have become a very common problem. The office environment is closed, air conditioning is used for a long time, and white-collar workers who face computers every day gradually feel that their eyesight is declining, the things they see are becoming more and more blurry, their eyes are becoming more and more dry, itchy and uncomfortable, and even have a burning sensation. This phenomenon first attracted the attention of medical experts in developed countries. Medical experts from the famous French Ophthalmology Association conducted four years of professional research and discovered many causes of dry and itchy eyes.

In daily life, it is not difficult to find that as the air quality deteriorates, this disease is becoming more and more common. Relevant statistics show that nearly 10 million people worldwide suffer from dry and itchy eyes, which gradually worsen and eventually lead to other eye diseases. Therefore, we hope to draw everyone's attention to this issue by analyzing the causes of dry and itchy eyes. Dry eye is a chronic disease caused by the following factors:

1. Due to physiological reasons such as advanced age, lack of sleep, and mental stress, the quality of tears decreases.

2. Taking some antihypertensive drugs and some tranquilizers will affect the production of tear film. For example, taking chlorpheniramine has a harmful effect on the tear film. Taking propranolol and some current contraceptives can reduce tear production. 3. Environment, such as a dry room, causes increased evaporation of tears.

4. When you engage in computer operation, driving, reading or other fine work for a long time, the number of times you blink decreases.

5. Due to contact lenses, allergic conjunctivitis, air pollution, ultraviolet rays and other reasons, the tears are reduced and the quality is reduced.

6. Long-term use of antibiotics can cause dysbacteriosis. If you experience abnormal eye sensations in daily life, please check whether you have "dry eye syndrome". What we mean by abnormal sensations is that dry eye patients are sensitive to airflow, and the cornea is particularly prone to dryness in a windy environment.

Relevant medical experts also told us that in the early stages of this disease, it often does not attract people's attention. With the continuous increase in work pressure, people often ignore minor discomforts in their body during busy work. However, it is worth our consideration that if such a disease worsens, it will bring very serious consequences. Studies have shown that long-term dry eyes can cause irreversible damage, and in extreme cases may even cause blindness. Therefore, no matter how busy life or work is, I hope everyone can pay attention to their physical health, have a healthy body, and create a better future.
