In the fast-paced lifestyle, many people ignore eye health. Your eyes are often dry and itchy, but you always think that you are overtired and don't pay attention to it, but you may have suffered from dry eyes.

Dry eye syndrome is a common eye disease in which the main symptom is the loss of lubrication and protection of the tissues around the eyeball, resulting in dry, itchy, painful and other discomfort in the eyes. With changes in lifestyle and environment, more and more people are suffering from dry eye syndrome. If your eyes are constantly following the following signs, you should be alert to whether you have dry eyes.

Frequent blinking or eyelid jumping: Under normal circumstances, a person's eyelids naturally beat 10-20 times per minute and are difficult to notice. However, when we stare at electronics or books for long periods of time, or when we are in an air-conditioned room, the number of blinks decreases, which makes tears evaporate faster, causing dry eyes, which in turn stimulates the eyes to blink to stay moist.

Red and swollen eyes: Staring at electronic screens, reading books, or driving for a long time can cause eye fatigue, which in turn causes red and swollen eyes. If this condition persists, it is a precursor to dry eye syndrome, which can lead to dry eye syndrome.

Sensation of a foreign body in the eye multiple times: Sometimes we feel a foreign body in the eye, which is usually caused by a lack of lubrication in the eye. If this condition persists for a long time, it may be one of the symptoms of dry eyes.

Feeling pain or itchiness in the eye multiple times: When the eye tissues lose lubrication and protection, the eye can experience discomfort such as pain or itching, which is typical of dry eyes.

In response to the above signals, we should be vigilant and take corresponding precautions in time

Avoid staring at screens or books for long periods of time, take a 5-10 minute break every 60 minutes, and do some eye exercises. Maintain indoor humidity to avoid overly dry air, and also use equipment such as humidifiers to increase indoor humidity. Or wear a Yuejia wet room mirror to do a spa care for your eyes.

Pay attention to dietary supplementation every day, and consume more foods rich in nutrients such as vitamin A, E and B vitamins, such as carrots, egg yolks, liver, etc. Regular eye examinations are carried out to detect eye diseases such as dry eye syndrome in time.

Finally, I hope that everyone can pay attention to their eye health and avoid adverse effects on daily life and work due to eye diseases such as dry eye syndrome. If you see any of the above signs, take appropriate action and seek medical attention**.
