What should I do if there is white stringy discharge in my eyes?

Eye health is an issue that people need to pay great attention to, because the eyes have very weak defenses and have only a thin layer of eyelids to block external invasion. Eye diseases can easily originate from inside the body. For example, abnormal eye conditions caused by endocrine or active substances in the body are very common. Among them, the symptom of white stringy discharge from the eyes is the most common. Let’s take a look at what to do if there is white stringy discharge from the eyes?

Soak medicinal eyebright or chamomile in water until the water temperature is suitable, then soak a towel and apply it to the eyes for 10 to 15 minutes. Blink frequently for 20 minutes, as blinking is a natural masseur for the eyes. Taking a short nap with your eyes closed can prevent eye strain or fatigue. The brightness of the screen (computer or TV) must be soft, with a certain contrast but not too strong, otherwise it will cause eye fatigue. After a long work session, take your eyes away from the screen for 10 or 15 minutes.

1. Stretch out your hands

Rub your hands together until they are warm. Then, close your eyes and cover your eye sockets with your palms. Do not press on your eyes, just cover them. Breathe slowly and deeply. Do this for 20 minutes every day.

2. Blinking massage

Deliberately blinking 300 times a day helps clean your eyes and gives them a little massage.

3. Pay attention to the light

Reading in dim light will not hurt your eyes, but if the light does not provide enough contrast between light and dark, it will cause your eyes to get tired easily. Use soft lighting (non-glare lighting) that provides contrast between light and dark. Do not use lamps that reflect light directly into your eyes.

4. Interruption of work

If you use the computer for 6-8 hours continuously, you should take a break every 2-3 hours. Get a cup of coffee, go to the bathroom, or just take your eyes off the computer for 10-15 minutes.

5. Reduce the light of the screen

The fonts and numbers on the computer screen are like small light bulbs, shining light directly into your eyes. Therefore, you need to lower the brightness of the screen and adjust the contrast (light and dark contrast) to make the font clear.

6. Close your eyes and rest

The best way to relieve eyestrain is to give your eyes a rest. It's easier than you think. You can talk on the phone with your eyes closed. People who practice this method while talking on the phone say that it does feel much more comfortable for their eyes and that it helps eliminate eyestrain.

7. Make tea

But it is not for drinking, but for applying to the eyes. Soak a towel in the tea, lie down, place the warm towel over your eyes, and close your eyes for 10-15 minutes. This will eliminate the strain on your eyes.
