Japanese eye drops — how to protect your eyes if you're on your phone and on your computer all the time

Today, our eyes work almost without interruptions: screens, artificial light, dry air and constant tension make themselves felt by the middle of the day. Not only schoolchildren and students suffer, but also adults, and with age the picture only becomes more alarming — constant tension of the eye muscles, a feeling of dryness, inflammation, redness and blurred vision become faithful companions.

Why do phone and computer screens tire your eyes so much?

When we look at a monitor or a phone, the blink rate is reduced by almost half. The tear film evaporates faster, and the cornea remains unprotected. The eyes begin to "cut", there is a feeling of sand. Plus, the eye muscles keep the focus at close range for too long, hence the blurriness, heaviness and headaches.

The cities we live in are making the situation worse. Dry air, dust, air conditioners, fatigue, lack of sleep — all this affects no less than working at a computer. Even minor inflammation of the eyelids due to friction, makeup, or allergies reduces the quality of the tear film.

Eye drops are becoming as much a household necessity as hand cream. And here many people choose Japanese ones because of their rich formulations and safe, mild action.

Why are Japanese drops so popular?

Japanese manufacturers focus on vitamins, mild moisturizing ingredients, antioxidants, and substances that support corneal metabolism. These products are not addictive and do not "dry out" the eyes.

It is also important to note the large selection of Japanese eye drops for different tasks. There are drops for children, options for those who wear lenses and for those who work at a computer, formulas for relieving redness, fatigue and for the prevention of eye diseases.

Those who have tried Japanese drops once often remain faithful to them for many years.
