Blepharitis is a condition in which the eyelid becomes red and swollen. This condition can occur as a result of the eye that is too fixated on the screen, be it a phone, tablet, or laptop. Data from Moorfield's Eye Hospital in London said that many office workers to seek medical help to overcome pain and redness of the eyes caused by computer use.
Reported by the Evening Standard, the symptoms of the many complaints by patients are dryness, fatigue, swollen eyes, or eyes feeling gritty. Daniel Ezra, consultant ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon at Moorfields, said some people are still forced to work even though their eyes were red.
"As a result, more severe eye damage can occur," said Ezra, quoted by Fox News.
Furthermore, Ezra estimate blepharitis affects almost 15 percent of people who have to work in front of the screen in London. It said the cause of the condition is the decreased frequency of eye blinks when one looks at the screen.
When less eye blinking, the tears will evaporate and cause stress on cells called corea. Plus, the use of air conditioning in office space will lead to faster evaporation. Stress in this corea will cause inflammation and discomfort.
Well, some things can be done to prevent blepharitis. Ezra revealed lower levels of illumination on the screen is one way.
"Also, try to blink more often, take eye drops regularly and be sure to get up from my seat and give your eyes a rest. If symptoms occur, seek immediate medical attention," said Ezra.
As a result of staring at the screen for too long, some time ago a woman from China suffered damage to eyesight after watching a Korean drama for 18 hours. This woman was diagnosed with acute glaucoma can lead to blindness.
