Increased dependence on digital devices has led to a rapid increase in computer-related eye problems, known as computer vision syndrome (CVS).CVS problems can be divided into four categories:- Dry eye or pain involving the eye surface.- Eye strain (eye weakness).Difficulty concentrating (blurred vision).- Other invisible symptoms.Using a computer a lot leads to eye strain.Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hypromellose) eye drops are often recommended.This medicine may also be used to treat certain other eye disorders such as keratitis, sensitive cornea.It moisturizes the eye, helps protect the eye from damage and infection, and relieves symptoms of dry eye such as burning, itching, and the sensation of an object in the eye.A product with a higher viscosity such as carbomer gel 980 may be helpful for patients with dry eyes as they can increase the time it takes to retain moisture.Carbomer 980 gel is liquid and works similarly to regular eye drops.The drug creates a thin transparent film in the eye, which protects the eye and lubricates the surface of the eye, making it more comfortable for the eyes.Symptoms of moderate to severe dry eye and vision loss may require prescription topical anti-inflammatory medications, such as ciclosporin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops, or corticosteroid eye drops.Sodium hyaluronate eye drops are often recommended for the treatment of advanced dry eyes.The drug has a lubricating effect on the eyeball, with moisture being kept, increasing the stability of the water film in the eye, which is quite durable.It also helps protect the surface of the eye at rest by creating a stable, viscous coating.The drug is indicated in cases of corneal and conjunctival epithelial disorders in Sjogren's disease, Steven-Johnson syndrome, dry eye syndrome (Sicca)...The dosage should be used according to the instructions of the ophthalmologist.Do not use this eye drops if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients.- Good practice in the use of eye drops:Remove contact lenses (if any), instill the correct dose.Wash your hands before opening the eye drops.Do not use more than one eye drop at the same time.In case of multi-drug use, the time between the eye drops should be at least 5 minutes.Need to check eye drops correctly.- Eye drops according to the technical instructions of each product:Lie down or sit with your head tilted back.Looking up, pull the lower eyelid with your finger, then squeeze a drop with your other hand, making sure the nozzle doesn't touch the eye, eyelashes, or eyelids.With your eyes closed, gently rub the inner corner of your eye with your index finger.If eye drops come out, gently blot with a clean towel.- Do not apply many drops at once.The extra instillation will only cause the eye drops to flow out, not increase the effect.Putting multiple drops at once is not harmful, but it also does nothing but waste time and waste eye drops.- Check the expiry date of the eye drops, shake well before use: The eye drops are a sterile dosage form, containing very few preservatives, so the storage time after opening the vial is very long. short, usually within 15 days to 1 month.To ensure quality, the date of opening should be recorded on the vial.Do not use the drug 1 month after opening.Store the medicine in a dry place, away from direct light.- Do not share eye drops with other people, because it can cause eye infections.For patients undergoing CVS, in addition to supportive medications, incorporate adjustments, such as reducing time spent looking at a computer screen.For fatigue symptoms, screen users should follow the 20:20:20 rule (every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break each and focus on an object 20 feet away—6.1m). ).Modify the screen environment, taking into account light and glare, airflow, screen configuration, seating, and blue light.If you have blurred vision, you should see an ophthalmologist for an examination.You must have your eyes checked if you regularly use a screen device if your job requires you to use the computer often too much/day.Add enough water, actively eat a lot of vegetables, supplement vitamins.SKĐS - Since the COVID-19 epidemic, I often work from home, rarely go out and use the computer a lot.Recently, I have a feeling of dry eyes, very uncomfortable...
