Sitting in front of a computer, books, or television for long periods of time not only causes fatigue in the spine, but also leads to a decline in eye health. Common symptoms of eye fatigue include soreness, dryness, swelling, and blurry vision. So, how can eye fatigue be relieved?
Avoiding Glare
Light reflections from computer screens, windows, and other reflective surfaces can cause eye fatigue. To alleviate this, applying an anti-glare film on the computer screen and pulling down curtains to avoid outdoor sunlight reflections can be helpful.
Diet for Relieving Eye Fatigue
Black Bean and Walnut Milk Drink
Roast black beans and grind them into powder after they cool down. Roast walnuts and remove the skin, then crush them into powder. Take one spoonful of black bean powder and one spoonful of walnut powder, put them in boiling milk, and add honey for flavor. Drinking this milk in the morning not only strengthens the muscles in the eyes and improves symptoms of eye fatigue, but also has a kidney-nourishing effect.
Chrysanthemum Tea
We all know that chrysanthemum has the effect of clearing the liver and brightening the eyes, relieving eye fatigue. In addition to using chrysanthemum to soothe the eyelids and eliminate swelling, taking a break and brewing a cup of chrysanthemum tea can help alleviate eye fatigue symptoms and aid in vision recovery.
Goji Berry and Mulberry Porridge
Take five grams of goji berries, yam, and mulberries, and five red dates. Add them to 100 grams of rice to make porridge. People prone to eye fatigue can eat this porridge once in the morning and once in the evening. Persistence in consumption can not only eliminate symptoms of eye fatigue, but also effectively enhance physical fitness.
Carrots
Eating carrots also has a protective effect on the eyes. Carrots provide a large amount of vitamins and carotene, which have a good effect on relieving symptoms of eye fatigue.
Eye Exercises for Effective Fatigue Relief
Eye Yoga
After long hours of work or study, it is helpful to let your eyes exercise to relieve fatigue. The specific method is as follows: lie down on the bed, relax your shoulders, straighten your back, extend your arms to shoulder height, make a fist with your right hand and raise your thumb, bend your left arm, and point your left thumb towards the bridge of your nose. Keep your neck still, focus both eyes on your right thumb, then move to your left thumb. Repeat this exercise ten to twenty times before resting.
Eyelid Massage
When your eyes feel tired from prolonged use, it is beneficial to close your eyes, make fists with both hands, bend your thumbs, and gently rub the eyelids with the back of your thumbs. Or, pinch the eyebrow center with your thumb and index finger, then release and repeat. Regularly performing these types of massages can effectively prevent eye fatigue.
Eye Compress for Fatigue Relief
Cold Compress
Put ice cubes in an ice bag, wrap several layers of gauze around it, and place it directly on the eyelids. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. This can help eliminate red bloodshot eyes caused by staying up late.
Hot Compress
Fill a hot water bag or bottle with hot water, wrap it with gauze, and apply it on the eyes. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes, two to three times a day. This can effectively alleviate dark circles and relieve eye fatigue.
Milk Compress
Dip a cotton swab or cotton pad in frozen milk and apply it to the eyes. Leave it on for ten minutes. This can reduce eye puffiness.
Steam from Hot Tea
Brew tea with boiling water, slightly close your eyes, bring your face close to the cup, and let the steam from the tea warm your eyes. Leave it on for ten minutes. This can moisturize the eyeballs, relieve eye fatigue, and protect vision.
