Hello,
If you experience eye discomfort, it is primarily due to prolonged exposure to intense light, which continuously increases intraocular pressure. Frequent late-night熬夜 (staying up late) further exacerbates this issue, potentially leading to eye pain and, over time, a decline in visual acuity.
If your eye discomfort results from exposure to welding arcs, it is essential to rest your eyes promptly and avoid overusing them. Continued strain prevents the eyes from recovering to their normal state. Using lubricating eye drops and performing gentle eye massages may aid recovery.
We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
