Try Laughing Haha to Prevent Dry Eyes in Autumn. The latest research results show that laughing is more effective in treating dry eyes than artificial tears. Dry eye symptoms will worsen in autumn. In addition to dripping artificial tears, you can also try "laughing training" every day - hihihi, hahaha, eggplant, seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven up seven. Recently, the latest clinical research results from Sun Yat sen Ophthalmology Center at Sun Yat sen University were released, confirming the therapeutic effect of "laughing training" on dry eye. Its efficacy is comparable to that of 0.1% sodium hyaluronate in artificial tears, opening up a new treatment path for mild to moderate dry eye patients who have long relied on eye drops. The effect of "laughing training" is no less than 0.1% sodium hyaluronate. In this study, the research team selected 299 symptomatic dry eye patients without moderate to severe corneal fluorescein staining and randomly divided them into two groups. They received 8 weeks of artificial tears treated with 0.1% sodium hyaluronate or "laughing training", and recorded the intervention situation throughout the entire process using a mini program. The research team designed the "laughter training" password based on facial and eye muscle movements: "hihihi, hahaha, eggplant eggplant eggplant, seven up seven up seven up seven up, hahahahaha". The 30 times password is one training session, and four training sessions are conducted per day. The results showed that after 8 weeks of intervention, "laughing training" could effectively alleviate the symptoms of dry eye patients with mild to moderate symptoms without obvious corneal epithelial defects, with an effect no less than 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops, and even better than 0.1% sodium hyaluronate in improving some physical signs. In fact, the inspiration for this research result came from a chance examination conducted by the team many years ago. At that time, they found that when people laugh, some indicators of tears immediately improve, and the oil component of tears plays a key role in maintaining the stability of the tear film. So, the research team began this prospective, non inferiority randomized controlled clinical study and recently published a research paper in the top international medical journal The BMJ, confirming the therapeutic effect of "laughing training" on dry eye. Professor Liang Lingyi, Deputy Director of Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center and Director of the Office for Prevention and Treatment of Blindness, explained that when we laugh, we are in a state of abdominal breathing. Combined with the joint movement of facial muscles, the activation of the autonomic nervous system stimulates the secretion of tears. At the same time, due to the squinting of the eyes when laughing, the muscles inside the eyelids contract, which compresses the meibomian gland and squeezes out the oil components inside, forming tears on the surface of the eyes. Relieving dry eye requires "three parts treatment and seven parts nourishment". Dry eye is one of the most common eye diseases worldwide, with at least 400 million patients in China. Due to its persistence and difficulty in treatment, it is known as the "terminal disease" of ophthalmology. Liang Lingyi introduced that in recent years, due to the popularity of electronic products, staying up late, being in an air-conditioned environment for a long time and other factors, the incidence rate of dry eyes has increased year by year. Numerous studies have shown that psychological states such as depression and anxiety are closely related to the development of dry eye. Currently, artificial tears are the first-line medication for dry eye treatment. How can the public prevent and respond to dry eye symptoms in the autumn season, when dry eye symptoms are more common? Liang Lingyi said that dry eye is a disease that requires "three parts treatment and seven parts nourishment". It is important to exercise more, drink more water, maintain a happy mood, and avoid staying up late in a healthy lifestyle. You can try "laughing training" to relieve it. If you feel that your eyes are really dry and uncomfortable, you can choose officially produced artificial tears for relief, or use steam eye mask, spray eye steam instrument and other auxiliary supplies, hot compress first and then cold compress when using, to promote the discharge of oil from the meibomian gland and stimulate the secretion of tears to alleviate dry eye symptoms.
