Ophthalmology Department of Far Eastern Memorial Hospital / doctor Weng Xinyu
The Lunar New Year is a good time for people to get together with their relatives and friends, rest and relax and go out for fun. However, many environments and activities during the new year may cause eye diseases and discomfort, which will not only spoil their interest, disrupt their holiday plans, but even affect their work and life in the future. This article reorganizes the conditions that must be paid special attention to during the six Spring Festival, as well as the good methods of maintaining eyes and eliminating fatigue.
1、 Watching TV or 3C products for a long time
During the holidays, many people like to watch Spring Festival special programs, chase dramas or play video games. If they stare at the screen for a long time, their eyes are prone to fatigue and dryness. In serious cases, they even suffer from pain and blood filaments. Especially when using mobile phones or tablets, the screen is small and close, and their eyes continue to focus on the small screen, which makes them more likely to feel tired and unwell, and may also produce pseudomyopia.
When there is swelling and pain in the eyes, many people will think that their intraocular pressure increases, but in fact, the intraocular pressure will not increase due to continuous use of the eyes. This swelling and pain is mainly caused by long-term use of the eyes, resulting in eye muscle tension and fatigue. It is suggested that every 30 minutes of watching TV or 3C products, you should rest for 10 minutes, go to the balcony or outdoors to see the distance, or close your eyes to rest, or hot compress your eyes to relieve fatigue.
In addition to eye fatigue, dry eyes are also a big problem. Eye wetting is maintained by tear secretion and blinking. When staring at the screen for a long time, the frequency of blinking decreases and the evaporation of tears becomes more, which is easy to cause dry eyes. In serious cases, corneal skin may even be broken, accompanied by tingling and foreign body feeling. In addition, dry eyes are often combined with blepharitis, which makes people feel sour, sticky and burning. The improvement method is similar to improving eye fatigue. You can close your eyes and rest, and apply hot compress to your eyes. Some astringent symptoms are serious, and you can also use artificial tears to moisturize your eyes.
Although the fatigue and dryness of the eyes can be improved by hot compress, the temperature should not be too hot and should not cause too much pressure on the eyes. It is recommended to use warm towels or commercially available hot compress eye masks at about 40 degrees, twice a day for 10 minutes each time.
2、 Stay up late to watch the new year, play cards and play mahjong
Staying up late will reduce the secretion of tears. If you stay up late to play cards and mahjong, it is more likely to cause dry and tired eyes, conjunctival blood filaments, broken cornea, eyelid inflammation and so on. To protect eye health, you should maintain adequate sleep and rest for 10 minutes every half hour. In addition, pay attention to the temperature and humidity of the environment. If the environment is too dry, blowing or too close to the heater, it will aggravate the dryness of the eyes.
3、 Cleaning years ago
Before the Chinese new year, many people will clean their home environment in the hope of making their home look new. However, the dust and dust mites raised during cleaning may cause allergic conjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis.
The symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis are eye itching, conjunctival edema and eyelid edema. It is recommended to apply a little cold compress first to avoid rubbing the eyes. Usually, the symptoms will improve slowly after a few hours. In addition, during general cleaning, it is recommended to wear masks, goggles and carefully use detergent to reduce the probability of allergy or chemical burns. In case the detergent accidentally enters the eyes, flush immediately and seek medical advice from the ophthalmology department as soon as possible.
4、 Outdoor play
Many people will take advantage of their holidays to go out to play and get in touch with nature. However, there are many bacteria, molds and parasites hidden in the stagnant water or stream water in low-lying areas. They should avoid contact with their eyes. In particular, people who suffer from corneal diseases, such as dry eye, broken corneal skin, or wear contact lenses, should avoid touching unclean water sources. In addition, if you arrange swimming, hot spring and other activities, you should also avoid wearing contact lenses or engaging in relevant activities when your eyes are not in time, so as to reduce the chance of eye infection.
5、 Wear contact lenses
Some people will wear contact lenses or put on large pieces at the new year's party. However, if the wearing time is too long and the cleaning method is wrong, it is easy to cause corneal skin damage and corneal ulcer infection. Therefore, when taking and wearing contact lenses, you should pay attention to hand cleaning. It is suggested that the continuous wearing time should not exceed eight hours, otherwise it is easy to cause corneal hypoxia, corneal skin damage Red eyes, tingling, and even poor eyesight. In addition, the cleaning and preservation of contact lenses are also very important. Special cleaning solution, preservation solution and preservation box must be used, and the cleaning time should be long enough. The preservation box should also be cleaned and replaced regularly, so as to minimize the chance of bacterial infection. Once there is redness and swelling of eyes, pain, vision mold and secretion, get medical attention immediately.
6、 Fall, collision and accidental injury
Many people will visit relatives and friends or travel during the Chinese New Year. After eating and drinking in an unfamiliar environment or after dinner, they are prone to fall, resulting in head, face and eye injuries. Especially the elderly and those with poor mobility are more likely to fall, and usually the injuries are more serious. If eyes are injured, serious cases may cause visual impairment or even blindness. Therefore, when in a strange environment or mental distress, special attention should be paid to environmental safety and fall prevention. In addition, when paying New Year's greetings and setting off firecrackers, you should also be careful that incense ash or firecracker fragments enter your eyes and cause injury. Once you are injured, you must seek medical treatment immediately. Don't rush into water or remove foreign matters by yourself, so as not to aggravate the injury.
