How to Relieve Eye Soreness and Pain?

Eye pain can be managed through lifestyle adjustments, medication, and surgery, and may be caused by visual fatigue, iridocyclitis, glaucoma, and other factors.

1. Visual Fatigue: Commonly seen in excessive eye use, staying up late to watch TV or use mobile phones, and prolonged desk work, which can lead to symptoms such as eye pain and dryness. It is recommended to rest the eyes, reduce screen time, avoid close-up work for extended periods, take a 10-minute break to look into the distance after every hour of work, and apply warm compresses to the eyes to promote local blood circulation and relieve eye pain.

2. Conjunctivitis: Conjunctivitis, often caused by bacterial or viral infections, can cause eye pain, as well as symptoms such as redness, dryness, and a foreign body sensation. It is advisable to use medications under the guidance of a professional physician, such as Levofloxacin, Tobramycin eye drops, and Acyclovir eye drops, to relieve eye pain. Additionally, maintain good eye hygiene and avoid rubbing the eyes with hands.

3. Glaucoma: Glaucoma increases intraocular pressure, leading to eye pain. It is recommended to actively treat the underlying disease and reduce intraocular pressure with medications such as Carteolol HCl eye drops, Brinzolamide/Timolol eye drops, and Betaxolol HCl eye drops. For severe symptoms, surgical treatment may also be considered to reduce intraocular pressure and relieve eye pain.

Apart from the aforementioned common causes, other potential diseases, such as iridocyclitis, can also easily lead to eye pain. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for diagnosis and timely treatment.
