As the temperature gradually decreases, the moisture in the air gradually decreases, and many people begin to experience symptoms of poor breathing. And you know what?Poor breathing in winter not only affects our respiratory health, but can also cause eye diseases!Today, let's uncover the five misunderstandings of winter eye care, so that your eyes can stay healthy in the cold winter!
Myth 1: Staring at the electronic screen for a long time without resting
Winter is a great time to stay at home watching TV and playing with your phone, but staring at an electronic screen for long periods of time can strain your eyes. Using electronics for a long time can lead to problems such as dry eyes, decreased vision, etc. Therefore, it is recommended that when using electronic products, you should take a break from your eyes every hour, you can look at the scenery outside the window, or close your eyes to recuperate.
Myth 2: Wear ** glasses overnight
Many beauty-loving girls will choose to wear ** glasses overnight for convenience. However, doing so can cause a lot of damage to the eyes. Because glasses can hinder the normal breathing of the eyes, long-term wearing can easily lead to corneal hypoxia, which can cause eye diseases such as keratitis. Therefore, it is recommended that you must take off your glasses before going to bed at night to let your eyes get enough rest.
Myth 3: Over-reliance on eye drops
In winter, the air is dry, and many people experience symptoms of dry eyes. At this time, many people choose to use eye drops to relieve their symptoms. However, over-reliance on eye drops is not a good habit. Long-term use of eye drops can lead to dependence on medications, which can aggravate eye discomfort. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone follow the doctor's advice and do not abuse eye drops when using them.
Myth 4: Not paying attention to eye hygiene
It is easy to catch a cold in winter, and many people experience symptoms such as runny nose and cough during a cold. At this time, many people will not pay attention to eye hygiene, rubbing their eyes with their hands, wiping their nose, etc. Doing so can easily bring viruses and bacteria into the eyes, leading to eye infections. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone pay attention to eye hygiene, wash hands frequently, and avoid rubbing their eyes with their hands during the cold period.
Myth 5: Ignoring eye exercises
In winter, the weather is cold, and many people are reluctant to go out and exercise. However, if you stay indoors for a long time, your eyes will not be exercised, and you will be prone to vision loss. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone should also pay attention to outdoor exercise time in winter, and can exercise their eyes by eye movement, eye massage, etc.
