Summer sunshine, reading, and electronic devices are all essential elements for children to grow up happily. However, these beautiful things may also quietly bring a "little trouble" - dry eyes in children. Today, let's talk about how to protect children's bright eyes and say goodbye to the little trouble of dry eyes!
Dry eyes, in simple terms, are the lack of adequate lubrication and moisture in the eyes, causing discomfort in the eyes. For children, prolonged use of electronic devices, reading, studying, or exposure to dry environments can all trigger dry eye symptoms.
Eye fatigue, heaviness, or pain Redness and burning sensation in the eyes Blurred or fluctuating vision Frequent blinking or rubbing of eyes
1. Arrange your eye time properly Reduce the time you spend using electronic devices for long periods of time, and take a 20-second break every 20 minutes by looking at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away. When reading or studying, maintain an appropriate distance and lighting, and avoid using your eyes in dim or strong light. 2. Keep the environment moist Use a humidifier at home or school to keep the air moist. Avoid prolonged exposure to air conditioning or heating to prevent your eyes from becoming too dry. 3. Diet adjustment Eating more foods rich in vitamins A, C, E and Omega-3 fatty acids, such as carrots, spinach, nuts, fish, etc., can help protect eye health. Maintain adequate water intake to keep your body fully hydrated. 4. Eye massage and hot compress Regularly perform eye massage to promote blood circulation and relieve eye fatigue. Use a warm washcloth or eye mask to help your eyes relax and hydrate. 5. Seek medical attention promptly If your child has dry eye symptoms, it is recommended that you seek medical attention immediately for professional examination and treatment. The doctor may prescribe eye drops or ointments to help relieve dry eye symptoms. đź’–Warm Tips : Although dry eyes in children are common, they also need our careful care.
