Patient's question:
My job requires me to sit in front of the computer every day. After a long time, I start to feel dry eyes, eye itching, a foreign body sensation, aching, burning, easily tired, and sensitivity to light, among other things! It's dry eye syndrome. Hello, is dry eye syndrome effective with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
The causes of dry eye syndrome are multifaceted and may be related to various factors such as prolonged eye use, a diet with a tendency toward internal heat, and underlying eye conditions. It is recommended to consider visiting an ophthalmologist for a follow-up examination, improving relevant tests, and following the ophthalmologist's advice for symptomatic treatment. Vitamin A gel can be applied, drink more warm water, eat more fresh vegetables, and supplement beta-carotene, which can be beneficial. You can also apply warm compresses to your eyes and get adequate rest.
