Precautions for dry eye:


Ophthalmologists warmly remind you that the most effective way to prevent dry eye is to pay attention to eye hygiene. If you watch the computer screen for 40 minutes to 1 hour, you need to rest for about 10 minutes to relax your eyes. It is hot in summer. When using the air conditioner, you should pay attention to opening windows regularly for ventilation, or place an air humidifier in the room to keep the humidity in the room at 30% - 50%. In addition to avoiding excessive eye use, blinking frequently, strengthening exercise and eating more food beneficial to the eyes, you can also press and knead several acupoints at ordinary times, such as Baihui acupoint on the top of the head, Jingming acupoint in the depression slightly above the inner corner of the eye, and Fengchi acupoint in the depression on both sides of the back of the head. These acupoints are easy to find and are good for relieving dry and tired eyes.
