The way to judge whether you have visual fatigue is actually very simple. The symptoms of eye fatigue mainly include tears, stinging eyes, blurred vision, diplopia, eye pain, photophobia, sore eyes and heavy eyes. As long as there are two or more of the above symptoms, it is likely to be eye fatigue.
To treat and relieve eye fatigue, the most important thing is to give your eyes a full rest and use eye drops reasonably. In addition, you can also ingest related nutrients together.

1, reading a book or watching a computer or mobile phone screen for a long time, it is recommended to rest for 5- 10 minutes every hour, such as closing your eyes, looking out of the window and doing eye exercises.
2, blink more, staring at the screen for a long time, it is easy to forget to blink, which will make the eyeball dry and fragile. Blinking 10~ 15 times per minute can ensure that tears fully moisturize the eyeball.
3. Keep a good way of using your eyes, stick to the correct sitting posture, and don't watch your mobile phone or read books in strong light or weak light.
4. Develop a healthy lifestyle, get enough sleep, don't stay up late, and don't smoke.
5. Don't use eye drops indiscriminately. If you have eye discomfort, you should go to a regular hospital and take medicine according to the doctor's advice.
6, try not to use contact lenses, contact lenses cover the eyeball, so that tears can not be applied to the eyeball when blinking, which will make the eyeball dry for a long time and aggravate eye fatigue.
