Don’t overindulge during the Spring Festival! Keep this health guide to help you have a great Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is our traditional festival. While enjoying the festive atmosphere of family reunions, we also need to pay attention to our eye health.

Judging from the outpatients in previous years, the period around the Spring Festival is a high incidence of eye diseases: firecracker injuries, acute glaucoma, video terminal syndrome, etc. As the Spring Festival is approaching, Changsha Aier Eye Hospital reminds everyone: take care of your eye health.

1. Fireworks injuries

Children like to set off fireworks and firecrackers, and eye injuries often occur during the Spring Festival.

Special reminder: Parents should strengthen safety precautions education. If the eyes are accidentally injured, do not wash the eyes with clean water or rub them with your hands. Immediately cover the injured eyes with clean gauze or towel and seek medical attention in time.

2. Acute glaucoma

During holidays, irregular work and rest schedules and long periods of eye use can easily cause elevated intraocular pressure, leading to acute glaucoma attacks.

Special reminder: If you feel eye swelling, nausea and vomiting, or decreased vision, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time, otherwise you may be at risk of blindness within a short period of time.

3. Video Terminal Syndrome

During the Spring Festival, long periods of Internet use can cause dry eyes, eye soreness, foreign body sensation and other uncomfortable symptoms, and lead to video terminal syndrome.

Special reminder: Pay attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep. If "video terminal syndrome" occurs, be sure to go to a regular ophthalmology hospital for examination and do not abuse eye drops on your own.

4. Overeating

There are many parties and social gatherings during the Spring Festival. When visiting relatives and friends, eating too much greasy and spicy food, smoking and drinking alcohol can cause blockage of the meibomian glands in the eyes, leading to dry eyes, sty, conjunctivitis and other eye diseases. Overeating can easily cause high blood pressure and blood sugar, causing retinal bleeding or blood vessel blockage.

Special reminder: After eating a lot of meat and fish during the Spring Festival, you still have to pay attention to a balanced diet. It is advisable to eat more fruits and vegetables rich in lutein and carotene, such as spinach, broccoli, kiwi, etc. If you suddenly experience a decrease in vision, black shadows floating in front of your eyes, etc., you must seek medical attention in time.

Changsha Aier Eye Hospital wishes you all a happy New Year, good luck and prosperity. With lights in every home, we will protect your eye health!
