Eye Fatigue Can Be Compensated Through Diet
Xinhua News Agency, Xi’an Special Report (Xu Bian): Many people experience dry, sore, and fatigued eyes when using computers, reading, or watching TV. Prolonged eye use is a major cause of eye fatigue. Common symptoms include blurred vision after brief visual tasks, inability to write or read, dry eyes, headaches, and in severe cases, nausea and vomiting. Moreover, eye strain may lead to myopia or premature presbyopia in adults, and conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachment may also arise from excessive eye use.
To protect eyes, prevent vision damage, and reduce eye fatigue, besides ensuring proper lighting, maintaining correct posture, taking regular breaks, and doing eye exercises, another very important measure is to nourish the eyes with proper nutrition.
Modern medical research shows that vitamins are closely related to eye diseases and visual acuity. Those who overuse their eyes need more vitamins and minerals essential for eye health. Proper supplementation of these nutrients is vital for protecting eyes, preventing vision damage, treating eye diseases, and improving vision.
Therefore, individuals suffering from eye fatigue should pay attention to dietary and nutritional balance, consuming more whole grains, coarse cereals, green and red vegetables, tubers, legumes, and fruits rich in vitamins, proteins, and fiber.
