“My eyes feel heavy.” “I have trouble focusing.”
“I get tired easily by evening.”
Our impression is that more and more people are living with this kind of eye strain each year.
Today, with smartphones and computers part of everyday life,
strain builds up not only in the eyes but also in the neck, shoulders and even around the head.
So tired eyes are often not simply “an eye problem”;
in many cases, tension throughout the body and the way we use it play a role.
Even a little awareness in daily life
can help make eye fatigue less noticeable.
For example,
looking into the distance once an hour
helps relax the tension of the eye’s focusing muscles.
Warming the area around the eyes also promotes circulation
and can ease that heavy, dull feeling.
Posture is another key point.
When you stay in positions that strain the neck and shoulders,
the muscles around the eyes also tend to tense up, which can lead to fatigue.
Consciously blinking more often
is also important for preventing dryness and keeping your eyes in good condition.
Along with this kind of daily care,
easing tension around the head and neck is another way to help reduce eye strain.
At La HEAD,
we carefully work not only on the head but also on the neck, shoulders and arms,
gently touching the area around the eyes as well, to guide the whole body into a state where tension can ease.
As the body lets go of tension more easily,
the strain around the eyes may feel lighter too.
In fact,
“My eyes feel so much clearer.”
“Everything looks lighter.”
We hear comments like these quite often.
Care for yourself through daily habits,
and make time for a reset when you need it.
That is one way to stay in good condition without strain.
If tired eyes are bothering you,
take a moment to pay attention to the state of your body as well.
