The role of eye masks and the harm of eye masks

Everyone may be familiar with eye masks. Some people like to wear eye masks when they are in a car, some like to wear eye masks when they are on a plane, and some like to wear eye masks when they sleep. So what is the role of eye masks? What are the hazards of wearing eye masks for a long time?

The role of eye masks

1. The main function of an eye mask is to block light and prevent it from causing damage to human eyes. It can also improve sleep quality. When sleeping in a noisy environment or in a well-lit environment, too bright light will affect people's sleep. Wearing an eye mask can put people into a dark environment and help them fall asleep quickly.

2. Relieving eye fatigue is also one of the important functions of eye masks, because some eye masks have certain therapeutic effects, some come with Chinese medicine bags, and some come with water belts. Wearing such eye masks on the eyes can speed up the blood circulation in the eye area, and can improve the symptoms of dry eyes, eye soreness and eye pain, and can restore human eyes to the best condition as soon as possible.

3. Eliminating eye swelling and preventing vision loss are also important functions of eye masks, but these effects can only be seen in eye masks with therapeutic effects. Ordinary eye masks do not have this effect. Especially when people have swelling, redness, pain and other discomfort symptoms in their eyes, they can choose to use an eye mask with an ice pack, which will quickly reduce or eliminate the discomfort symptoms of the eyes.

The dangers of eye masks

Under normal circumstances, there is no harm in wearing an eye mask, but wearing an eye mask for a long time will cause some adverse effects on the eyes, especially when wearing the eye mask in a bright environment. If you take off the eye mask suddenly, your eyes will feel very uncomfortable, and there will be temporary blurred vision and other discomfort symptoms. The discomfort symptoms will disappear after the eyes adapt to the external light.

The above introduces some knowledge related to eye masks, which can let everyone understand the role of eye masks and the harm of eye masks. You can wear eye masks with confidence when you need them in the future, but try to avoid wearing eye masks for a long time to avoid damaging the visual function of your eyes.
