Dr. He Haochen
Spleen deficiency may lead to eye fatigue. It can be caused by physical exhaustion, prolonged irregular eating habits, or frequent emotional stress such as repressed anger. When spleen deficiency occurs, the circulation of qi and blood in the body becomes impaired, which may trigger easy eye fatigue, accompanied by discomforts such as eye swelling or under-eye bags. In daily life, it's important to maintain a cheerful and relaxed mood.
