Why do my eyes keep hurting? Especially when looking at the computer

White-collar workers who sit in front of the computer for a long time often feel astringent eyes and blurred vision, which are all symptoms of dry eye syndrome.

There are many causes of dry eye syndrome, such as prolonged computer use, polluted air, long-term exposure to air conditioning or working in a dry environment, etc. According to statistics, the number of patients suffering from dry eye syndrome has been increasing worldwide in recent years, and it has now reached 12 million. Medical experts caution that people often don't care about the disease because usually the symptoms of the disease are not serious.

However, studies have shown that long-term dry eyes can cause irreversible damage and in extreme cases, even blindness, so dry eye syndrome should be taken seriously.

We can use massage methods to relieve dry eyes:

With your eyes closed, gently press the eyeballs with the fingertips of your index, middle, and ring fingers, or you can rotate and rub gently. Do not last too long or rub too hard, stop after about 20 seconds. This method can be used to eliminate eye strain. Reducing contrast and brightness can reduce eye strain.

The display has functions such as adjusting brightness and contrast, up, down, left and right deviation, and tilt. Try these features to adjust brightness and contrast. However, if the brightness and contrast ratio are too low, it is more likely to cause eye fatigue, so you should try several times to adjust it to a state that suits you.

In addition to this, Chinese medicine believes that dry eyes are generally caused by insufficient yin blood in the liver, and dry mouth is generally caused by yin deficiency or injury, so dry eyes are mainly caused by yin deficiency. The wolfberry has a sweet taste, enters the liver and kidney meridians, can nourish the kidneys and benefit the essence, nourish the liver and brighten the eyes, so the eyes are dry. In ancient times, it was believed that wolfberry can quench thirst, that is, it also has the effect of thirst.

Jujube Ganping can replenish blood, and blood belongs to yin, so it is effective for dry eyes and dry mouth with insufficient yin blood. Egg yolk can also nourish essence and blood in traditional Chinese medicine, so taking eggs also has a certain auxiliary effect on dry mouth and dry eyes.

Three dietary formulas of wolfberry:

Goji berries + rice: After boiling into porridge, add a little sugar, which can ** blurred vision and tears.

Goji berry + chrysanthemum: brewing and drinking with hot water can make the eyes relaxed and bright.

Goji berry + pork liver: The soup has the ability to clear heat, eliminate eye astringency, and eliminate dark circles that appear due to staying up late.

I often have itchy eyes, it seems that yours is more serious, I want to go and see it, or try to face the computer as little as possible, and use my eyes less, do a massage.

First of all, we need to adjust the environment in which you use the computer, 1) For the monitor, the refresh rate is best set to 85MHz or more.

Set the Point. Advanced then tap "Monitor" and then set the refresh rate.

2) The surrounding light should not be too weak, watching TV or using computers in the dark or weak light is very easy to damage the sail and damage our rhodopsin, which will make the eyes tired and the vision will decrease.

3) Maintain a good working posture. Maintaining an optimal posture with both eyes at eye level or slightly downward (15 degrees is preferable) will relax the neck muscles and minimize the area of the eyeball exposed to air.

4) Avoid continuous operation of the computer for a long time, usually take a break of 5 to 10 minutes for 1 hour of continuous operation. When resting, you can look into the distance to fully relax your eyes.

5) If your eyes are very painful, stop operating the computer immediately, put on eye drops, and close your eyes with water. Do eye exercises.

6) You can usually turn your eyes more often to enhance the function of your eyes. Drinking calendula, cassia or green tea water is both protective and healthy.
