The ophthalmologist told how to protect the eyes from excessive stress in the summer
In summer, the visual system experiences increased tension. Hot days, dehydrated air from air conditioning systems and prolonged time spent watching monitors exacerbate the symptoms of eye fatigue. On July 31, Anna Solovey, ophthalmologist at the 3Z clinic, spoke about the rules for reducing eye strain.
"In the summer months, eyesight can receive additional stress, especially when working for hours at a computer. The heat forces the active use of air conditioners, which reduces the humidity of the air and leads to evaporation of the tear film, causing dryness, burning and a feeling of "sand" in the eyes," Solovey shared in her conversation with the newspaper.Ru».
In such circumstances, moisturizing drops may be prescribed, but their use should be carried out strictly on the recommendation of a doctor. The exchange of such funds with colleagues is unacceptable, as this may cause the spread of infections in the team.
"If you feel dryness or burning in your eyes, you should not rely entirely on symptomatic treatment. It is better to consult a specialist — the symptoms may be related to ophthalmological problems," the doctor warned.
Untimely cleaning of air conditioners can turn them into a breeding ground for harmful microorganisms and dust. This, in turn, increases the inflammatory processes in the eyes. Therefore, the doctor recommended regular eye exercises, such as blinking and eye rotation along the trajectories of geometric shapes.
Popular Science magazine reported on July 29 that when choosing sunglasses in summer, it is important to consider not only the design, but also the color of the lenses. It is specified that not only comfort depends on the shade, but also the quality of vision, especially during outdoor activities.
