  Eyedrops are the most common medication for eye diseases. And for many eye diseases, eyedrops have a direct and quick therapeutic effect. However, many people are accustomed to overusing eyedrops even without eye disease or eye discomfort. 

  The use of eyedrops must follow medical advice. Eye drops can relieve eye fatigue, but they cannot protect vision or prevent nearsightedness. Therefore, it is better to consult your doctor and use eye drops in moderation. 

The light is too bright

  In the past, it was believed that warm lighting was good for eyesight. But research shows that cool light is better for reading, writing, and other demanding visual tasks.
