Common eye problems, symptoms and self-rated eye health

As the window of our soul, eyes are also the most important part of our body, because the existence of eyes can let us see the colorful world and the people we care about, but in real life, many people ignore the care of eyes, so let's learn about the common problems of eyes together.

Common symptoms of eye problems

Vision degradation: Symptoms ◆ Eyes are easy to get tired and dry ◆ Can't see clearly → Start at the age of 35.

Night blindness: Symptoms ◆ Poor vision at night ◆ Slow visual response and maladjustment → People who lack vitamin A are prone to night blindness.

Cataract: symptoms ◆ blurred vision

Degenerative macular degeneration: Symptoms ◆ Straight line as curve ◆ Poor fine vision → Degenerative macular degeneration is the first cause of blindness among the elderly in Japan.

High myopia: floaters, retinal detachment, rupture and macular degeneration are high-risk groups → myopia is mostly high myopia.

Step 1 Cover one eye with a paper cup (or playing card).

If you wear glasses, put on your glasses and look at the center point on the amsler grid.

The third step is to stare at the center point on the table and at the same time look at the lines next to the center point on the table. At this time, all lines should look straight, and all squares should be the same size.

How should myopia protect eyes every day?

In daily life, we should learn to protect our glasses. Mothers should also tell their children to protect their glasses in their study and life. Below, introduce several ways to protect your eyes for mothers:

First, the blink method.

Choose a quiet place, or sit or stand, relax, clear your mind, open your eyes, keep your head and neck still, and turn your eyes alone. First, stare directly below, slowly turn left, then turn directly above, turn right, and finally return to directly below. Turn clockwise nine times like this. Then turn your eyes from down to right, up, left and down again, and turn them counterclockwise for another 6 times. Do it four times in all. Every turn, the eyeball should reach the limit as much as possible. This blinking method can exercise eye muscles, improve nutrition and make eyes flexible and bright.

Second, the eye breathing concentration method

Choose a place with fresh air, or sit or stand, relax, look straight ahead, slowly inhale the air, then open your eyes wide, pause for a moment, then exhale the air slowly, then close your eyes slowly, and do it for 9 times in a row.

Third, the eye ironing method

This method is best to sit, relax, close your eyes, and then quickly rub your palm to make it warm. Cover your eyes with your hands when it is hot. After the heat dissipates, suddenly take your hand away and open your eyes hard at the same time. This can promote the blood circulation and metabolism of your eyes 3 ~ 5 times.

Fourth, eye washing method

Disinfect the washbasin first, then pour in warm water, adjust the water temperature, put your face in the water, open your eyes in the water, move your eyes up and down, left and right for 9 times, and then rotate them clockwise and counterclockwise for 9 times. At first, when water enters the eyes, the eyes will feel uncomfortable, but with the rotation of the eyes, the eyes will gradually feel comfortable. When doing this action, if you feel difficult to breathe, you might as well lift your face from the washbasin and take a deep breath outside. This method can wash away harmful substances and dust in the eyes, and is also effective for mild cataract, and can improve the degree of ametropia of astigmatism, hyperopia and myopia.
