Dry eye syndrome patients should pay attention to adjusting environmental factors, maintaining eye cleanliness, and adopting a healthy diet.
1. Adjust environmental factors: Wear sunglasses when going outdoors to protect the eyes from wind and sun exposure. Maintain an appropriate distance between the computer screen and the eyes during work to help reduce eye strain, and avoid prolonged use of electronic devices such as computers and smartphones. Smoking should be avoided, as well as the use of eye cosmetics. Try to minimize time spent in air-conditioned or heated rooms; if necessary, use a humidifier in the room.
2. Maintain eye cleanliness: Good eye hygiene is essential during dry eye episodes and can help alleviate symptoms. Applying warm compresses and gentle eye massage may also promote blood circulation around the eyes and relieve discomfort.
3. Maintain a healthy diet: Include foods rich in vitamin A in daily meals, such as fish, fresh vegetables, and fruits, which can help prevent dry eye syndrome and support recovery.
If symptoms do not improve, patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital and receive appropriate treatment.
