In general, eye blurring caused by playing on a mobile phone can be relieved through methods such as eye rest, eye massage, warm compresses, blink training, and using blue light filtering glasses.
1. Eye rest: Immediately stop using the phone, close your eyes for a while, or look into the distance and view distant scenery to relax your eyes.
2. Eye massage: Gently massage around the eye sockets with your fingers, such as the Jingming (BL2), Zanzhu (BL3), and Yuyao (EX-HN4) acupoints, to promote blood circulation in the eyes and relieve eye fatigue.
3. Warm compress: Apply a warm towel with suitable temperature over the eyes, which helps improve ocular blood circulation and relieve eye fatigue.
4. Blink training: Staring at a screen for prolonged periods can cause reduced blinking and lead to dry eyes. Consciously increasing blink frequency helps maintain a moist surface on the eyeballs.
5. Use blue light filtering glasses: Blue light is an important factor contributing to eye fatigue, and wearing blue light filtering glasses can reduce damage to the eyes from blue light.
In daily life, using electronic products sensibly and paying attention to eye care can help prevent and alleviate digital eye fatigue.
