In modern daily life, people face increasing stress. For office workers, eye strain is common—yet we must not ignore it.Eye strain can even lead to overall fatigue. How can we healthily prevent excessive eye strain in daily life?
First, to avoid eye strain in daily life, we must learn to manage our time wisely. When using computers, watching TV, or reading, take a 10-minute break every hour. During breaks, blink frequently and rotate your eyeballs.Gao Jiansheng also recommends that computer users slightly elevate their seats and lower their monitors, positioning the eyes at a downward angle of about 5 degrees relative to the screen. "This allows the eyes to remain partially closed, helping maintain moisture and preventing dryness."
Second, to prevent eye strain in daily life, it's crucial to understand eye care practices. Apply a towel compress to your eyes morning and night—use a cool towel in the morning and a warm towel at night. Alternatively, steam your eyes with chrysanthemum tea to maintain moisture. However, avoid using eye drops indiscriminately. Third, maintain a light diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables like carrots, as well as nuts such as walnuts and sesame seeds.
Finally, massage techniques can alleviate fatigue. Experts recommend regularly massaging the Jingming point, Zan Zhu point, and Taiyang point with your index finger and thumb to relieve visual fatigue.The Jingming point is located on the inner side of the eye, in the slight depression just above the inner corner. The Zanzhu point is in the indentation at the inner edge of the eyebrow. The Taiyang point is at the hairline, where you feel movement when eating.
Friendly reminder: Preventing excessive eye strain is essential for maintaining vitality in daily life. For office workers who frequently use their eyes, incorporating reasonable protective measures into daily routines is beneficial and harmless to overall health.
