In today’s world, most office workers and students have tired and dry eyes. The problem of dry eyes often occurs in those who work at computers for 6-7 hours a day, read a lot, watch TV, spend a long time in a dry, air-conditioned room, or drive a car in the evening or at night.
To get rid of unpleasant symptoms (dry eyes, redness, fatigue, tearing), you must first determine the cause of dry eyes and try to eliminate it. An ophthalmologist will help with this. A doctor can prescribe the right treatment in each specific case. For example, it can be drugs that provide additional nutrition to the eyes, such as C-NAC Eye Drops. C-NAC (N-Acetyl-Carnosine/Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose) is used to treat a variety of eye conditions, including dry eye syndrome, disorders affecting the cornea, and pinguecula. Other uses include treating presbyopia, open angle primary glaucoma, diseases of the retina and other conditions which are not mentioned here, but can cause dry eyes.
Also, cyclosporine drugs, such as Cyclomune, can be used to treat dry eyes. Cyclomune Eye Drops (Cyclosporine) is an ophthalmic liquid solution in the form of eye drops which is used to treat certain eye conditions. It is also known as an immunomodulator. It works by increasing tear production which alleviates dry eye. It can also be used to reduce swelling, inflammation, and general irritation.
In order to reduce unpleasant symptoms before the start of treatment, you can buy a tear substitute at a pharmacy. It will help maintain the natural moisture of the eyeball. It is because of the drying of the eye membrane that the unpleasant symptoms listed above occur.
In addition, remember that in order not to have dry eyes, it is necessary to drink a sufficient amount of water. Be sure to drink a glass of water before breakfast, lunch and dinner. To find out whether you drink enough water or not, pay attention to the color of your urine, it should be light yellow. If it is darker, it means that you drink little water.
Also, special exercises will help improve vision and relieve eye fatigue. Wearing contact lenses is not a contraindication to exercise (but before doing eye exercises, remove them). The most difficult thing about these exercises is to do them regularly.
- Exercise “circle”. Make slow movements with your eyes: in a circle, diagonally, left – right and up – down. Alternate these movements with the relaxation of closed eyes. Such a two-minute relaxation is enough for the next few hours to work at the computer, read books or drive without eye fatigue.
- Exercise “near and far”. For 10-15 seconds, look at the fingers of the outstretched hand, then for the same amount of time, look into the distance.
- Exercise “close-open your eyes”. Close your eyes tightly for 5 seconds, then open your eyes for 2 seconds. Repeat this exercise 3-4 times.
- Relaxation. Lean back in the chair, close your eyes, relax your facial muscles and count to 20. Then look around, close your eyes, open your eyes and relax again.
