When the eyes are uncomfortable, people will subconsciously rub them with their hands. As we all know, you have the most bacteria on your hands. A study in the United States found that a pair of unwashed hands may contain hundreds of thousands of kinds of bacteria, which can cause various eye diseases, especially pinkeye. Therefore, never rub your eyes with dirty hands. If your eyes are uncomfortable, wash your hands first, then close your eyes and press gently. Don't rub your eyes with your hands when there is a foreign body. You should close your eyes first, and then open your eyes and blink a few times when a lot of tears come out. In most cases, tears will wash away foreign objects.
2. Don't use eye drops indiscriminately.
Because many eye drops are over-the-counter drugs, many people drop a drop as soon as their eyes are uncomfortable, and the more they use it, the more severe it becomes. If you don't use eye drops indiscriminately, you have to be symptomatic. Red eyes are not necessarily inflammation, but also allergies. If you use anti-inflammatory eye drops, experts say it will be more serious. Generally speaking, as long as it is a large package, more than 0.4 ml of eye drops contain preservatives. If the eyes are just symptoms of dryness and fatigue, we usually use artificial tears without preservatives.
3. Don't wear contact lenses.
At present, the commonly used contact lenses are all polymer materials with poor oxygen permeability, which prevents the eyes from breathing oxygen directly to some extent and makes the cornea anoxic. Once bacteria and viruses invade, they are particularly susceptible to infection. It is recommended to choose frame glasses first and wear contact lenses occasionally, preferably once every six months.
4. blink more in winter.
The weather is very dry in winter, coupled with the invasion of heating and air conditioning, it is easier to take away the moisture on the surface of the eye mask and make the eyes dry. Experts say that in the dry season, or when watching computer or TV for a long time, you will blink more, which is equivalent to giving your eyes a moisturizing massage. In addition, don't blow your eyes on the air conditioner to avoid dry eye.
