During the holiday, if there is no travel plan, many people choose to stay at home to watch dramas, watch variety shows and play games, but the “Association” Shouguang Science Popularization Team of Peking Union Medical College Hospital reminds you not to forget In order to let the eyes “touch the fish”, otherwise it is easy to cause “overworked” eyes, causing dry eye syndrome and so on.
When do you need to rest your eyes?

In severe cases, headache, dizziness, nausea, inability to concentrate, and memory loss may occur..
In addition to using the eyes at close range for a long time, extensive use of electronic screens also reduces the natural blink rate, aggravating symptoms such as dry eyes and astringent eyes. .
