Ophthalmologist warns!Corona's "cornea wound" risk and false institutional facts
The corneal care laboratory of modern people has increased the risk of the corneal scratches due to the continuing life of overwhelming eyes that are not seen in the past due to remote work and increased home time due to corona evil.An online seminar for the media was held on April 12, 2021 (Monday) to make a warning bell.From the Toho University Medical Center Omori Hospital Omori Hospital Ophthalmology Professor Yuichi Hori and Masakazu Yamada, an ophthalmic science school.We gave a multi -face lecture with the latest dissertation data and survey results for eye care.
State of the performance
● Corona's evil "corneal scratch risk" "Mie struggle", "overuse of the eyes", "mask dry eye", and "mental fatigue degradation" has increased the risk of being damaged by the cornea.
● Be careful with how to use eye drops in self -care (not too much) and how to select (confirm whether preservatives)
● Correct eye care habits in the New Normal era that protect their eyes from “corners of corneal scratches and triple”
■ "Risk of corneal scratches triple" that becomes serious due to corona evil
Toho University Medical Center Omori Hospital Ophthalmology Professor Director / Yuichi Hori
With the increase in the use of remote work and the increase in smartphones and PC use in home time, the life of relying on eyes through the device has been established, and the cornea is likely to be damaged.The cornea explains the mechanisms that the cells are exposed and are very delicate and easily damaged, and the tears and blinking importance of such delicate cornea.Originally, the cornea is normally kept, but the factors that increase the risk of scratching the corneal peculiar to the corona are introduced as "corneal scratch risk".
Dr. Hori lecture
[Three -layered corneal scratch risk]
(1) Influence of eye abuse
Focusing on smartphones, personal computers, and VDT work, the number of blinks decreases to 1/4.
Continuing the VDT work for a long time makes the sympathetic nerves of the autonomic nervous system become dominant, making it harder for tears to come out.
→ As a result, the layer of tears collapses due to drying and the cornea is easily damaged.
(2) Impact by mask dry eye
A mask dry eye means that the surface of the eyes is dry due to the upward exhalation leaked from the mask.
Now that Corona's evil, it is in an environment where the mask is on a daily basis, and the eyes are always dry.
→ As a result, the risk of drying is increased by the mask, and the cornea is easily damaged.
→ Also, dry eye people may be even worse.
(3) Impact of mental fatigue
When stress and anxiety are accumulated, the balance of the autonomic nervous system is lost, and the work of the Mybome wire to form the oil layer of tears is reduced.
→ As a result, the quality of tears is reduced and the cornea is easily damaged.
■ Don't leave aging or just tired!The symptoms may be due to the cornea wound.
Even if it is a common symptom that tends to be neglected due to just fatigue and aging, if it occurs frequently or prolonged, it suggests that the cornea may be the cause, and called for appropriate care before it gets worse.rice field.In addition, 73 % of the people classified as "dangerous layers" were actually scratched in the "corneal scratch risk checklist" supervised by Dr. Hori himself.Now that many people are being exposed to the risk of the corneal, we encouraged them to use the checklist to grasp the risk of the cornea and care for care.
● The characters blur
● I feel pain
● My eyes are always thirsty and shoboshobo
● Gorogoro feeling
● The eyes are bulky
● I don't get tired even if I sleep

■ "How to use" and "how to choose" are important for eye drops!
Kyorin University School of Medicine, Ophthalmology Professor, President of the Japanese Society of Society, Japan Contact Lens Director / Dr. Masakazu Yamada
As an eye care habit that prevents the risk of wounds on the rising cornea, eye drops have a role in normalizing tears and eye functions, and is introduced as an effective self -care method.However, he explained that incorrect usage such as making more appropriate frequency and more appropriate, and how to choose a product that is not in his own eyes may worsen the symptoms.
(1) How to use: Is the number of eye drops within the appropriate range?
→ If you apply too much more than the usage dose, the layer of tears may be destroyed and the cornea may be damaged.
(2) How to choose: Do you choose something that is easy for your eyes?
→ Preservatives contained in eye drops may worsen the symptoms for those who are damaged in the cornea.
→ Benzarconium chloride, a typical component of preservatives, has the effect of decomposing oil, destroying the oil layer of tears and making the eyes dry.
→ Originally, preservatives prevent the contamination of products due to the mixed bacterium, maintain quality and use safely, and there is no problem in using without scratches in the cornea.
→ Approximately 73 % of commercial products are eye drops containing preservatives.* 99 major stocks

■ Number of eye -eyed eyes per day, one in four people, more than 7 times, more than 7 times!
Since the Corona evil, the symptoms have become severe due to the effects of changes in life, and some of the symptoms have deteriorated due to the effects of the change of life.A survey of the use of eye drops was conducted.
As a result of the survey, it was revealed that the awareness of the appropriate number of eye eye drops was low in the first place, and many people found the symptoms every time they felt the symptoms.It is presumed that people with higher risk of scratches on the corneal are more often felt discomfort, so the number of eye -eye is increased and it is more likely to be too much.In addition, it has been revealed that the risk of preservatives to be given to the cornea wounds is not recognized by many people, and people with high risk of scratches on the corneal cannot choose eye drops without any preservatives.rice field.
The incorrect perception of how to use and how to select it may be that the eye drops that had been good at it have worsened the wound on the cornea.

■ Eycare customs in the new normal era!Tips for protecting the cornea from triple hardship
Finally, we introduced the correct usage and selection of eye drops, and a self -care method that is easy to incorporate in everyday life to protect the cornea from triple hardship. "In a life relying on various devices, the risk of scratches on the cornea is increasing. In the corona evil, dryness due to daily masking, mental fatigue due to anxiety and stress reduces the quantity and quality of tears. Our eyes are threatened by the risk of being hurt in the past, and it is very important to protect the cornea with self -care, but the incorrect care methods and perceptions have worsened the symptoms. There is a possibility that you are. In the New Normal era, wear the correct eye care habits and protect your eyes yourself. If self -care does not improve, I would like to ask for an early ophthalmology consultation. " I tightened it.
(1) Protect the usage and capacity of eye drops
● Prevents too much by applying it while the symptoms are mild.It is also effective to decide the timing and protect the number.
* Appropriate timing: After getting up, lunch break, 3 o'clock snack, before dinner
● Since one drop is effective enough, do not drop any drops at once.
(2) Select an appropriate eye drops
● If you think there is a scratch on the cornea, select a preservative without the cornea that is gentle on the cornea.
● It is also recommended to choose one that has a cornea restoration effect.

(1) When working VDT work, lower the line of sight / prevent the air conditioner from directly visible / use a humidifier etc. ETC
(2) Relax with bathing or light stretching so that tears can be easily come out

What is the "cornea care laboratory for modern people"?
The "corneal of modern corneal care laboratory" is said to be increasing in recent years by "corneal epithelium disorder (such as a state with the corneal damage)" by the corneal expert to protect the eyes of modern people.It is a composed enlightenment organization.Information on cornea is introduced in an easy -to -understand manner, such as the correct cornea way of self -care and the checklist that shows the possibility of corneal epithelium disorders.
