How to Relieve Eye Hypertension at Home?

The eye is our important organ. It is used in almost all our behaviors in life. After using our eyes for a long time, our eyes will have many uncomfortable symptoms. If we don't protect our eyes well, it may lead to eye hypertension. 

 

 

What Causes Eye Hypertension?

There are several main reasons for eye hypertension.

 

Overproduction of Aqueous

The aqueous humor behind the iris is a kind of transparent water. Its main function is to bathe and carry oxygen and nutrients to the lens to help the eyes maintain pressure. The aqueous humor flows through the pupil and fills the gap between the iris and the cornea, which is then drained from a structure called trabecular meshwork.

 

Sometimes our bodies produce too much aqueous humor. If the rate of aqueous humor production is higher than its drainage rate, it will lead to an increase in intraocular pressure. 

 

Slow Aqueous Drainage

When the drainage system of the body fails and the drainage speed decreases, the aqueous humor will gradually accumulate, which will lead to ocular hypertension. 

 

Eye Trauma

Eye trauma can damage or affect the balance of the generation and discharge of room water, which leads to high intraocular pressure. Eye trauma is likely to affect your eyes for a long time. So you need to tell your ophthalmologist in time to avoid causing more serious damage. 

 

Medications

Medications can also cause ocular hypertension, especially steroids, such as steroidal eye drops. 

 

Other Eye Conditions

Corneal arcus, pigment dispersion syndrome and pseudoexfoliation syndrome are all related to ocular hypertension.

 

 

How to Detect Ocular Hypertension?

Usually, ocular hypertension is often without any symptoms and side effects. When you have an eye examination, your doctor will use an intraocular pressure meter to measure your IOP. In addition, the doctor will also check if you have other eye diseases, such as glaucoma. They will also check if your nerves are damaged. 

 

 

How to Reduce Intraocular Pressure at Home?

In fact, there are many ways to reduce intraocular pressure. Your ophthalmologist may prescribe some special eye drops to help you reduce your intraocular pressure. In addition, eye massage can also reduce intraocular pressure. Therefore, many patients with high intraocular pressure will choose to use eye massager device to alleviate eye discomfort. Intelligent eye massager can massage around the eyes, help muscles relax and reduce intraocular pressure. Studies have shown that the thermal optics eye massager can reduce the intraocular pressure by about 20%, and basically will not cause damage to the eyes. Regular use of bluetooth eye massager can keep intraocular pressure at a low level for a long time.

 

There are several massage heads in the wireless eye massager, which can imitate the human fingers to massage around the eyes. Some smart eye massager also has heating function, can help alleviate eye fatigue. In addition to reducing intraocular pressure, heated eye massager can prevent myopia, amblyopia and improve blood circulation. Consumers should choose best eye massager, can not because of the greed for cheap and choose inferior eye massager. Inferior thermal eye massager can not relieve the discomfort of eyes, but it will damage the eyes.
