In our daily work and life, we use our eyes the longest, especially for some white-collar workers who sit in front of computers all day, staring at the computer screen all the time. So, what causes eye pain? How to relieve eye pain?

What causes eye pain?

Eye pain may be caused by keeping our eyes in a state of work or study for a long time, which makes the eyes feel very tired and even causes us to want to sleep.

Eye pain may also be caused by corneal and conjunctival lesions, which are an inflammation of the cornea caused by microbial infection or stimulation by some physical and chemical factors. If you have this condition, you will often feel eye pain and swelling. In this case, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

How to relieve eye pain

1. Eye exercises

I believe everyone is familiar with eye exercises, which is something we were often forced to do in school when we were in elementary school. If your eyes are swollen and painful, you can do some eye exercises appropriately, but the technique and posture must be accurate.

2. Use a towel to apply wet and hot compress

If your eyes are swollen and painful, in addition to doing eye exercises, you can also use a wet towel with ice water to apply cold compresses around the eyes, wait for about ten minutes, then use another dry towel with some hot water to apply hot compresses on the eyes, then wait for a few minutes before removing it and massaging the area around the eyes. This can effectively relieve eye pain.

3. Blink

When the eyes are swollen and painful and uncomfortable, we can tilt our head back and blink our eyes continuously, which is conducive to the smooth flow of blood in the eyes. Repeating this three to four times can effectively relieve eye fatigue.
