What are the benefits of an eye massage?

Whether it's for work, life, or entertainment, modern people can't live without computers, cell phones, tablets, and other electronic products. However, prolonged use of these electronic products can easily lead to overuse of the eyes, which in turn leads to eye fatigue, dryness, redness and other problems. An eye massage is a good way to relieve these conditions. This article details the benefits of eye massage, eye massage points, eye massage methods and more.

i. Relieve eye fatigue

In fact, there are a lot of muscle tissues associated with our eyes. When we concentrate on our eyes for a long time or use our eyes too much, the muscles of our eyes will remain in a state of tension all the time. Under such circumstances, the eye pressure will increase, which can easily lead to eye fatigue, dryness and pain. Massage around the eyes can effectively relax these overly tense eye muscles and lower eye pressure, thus relieving the symptoms of eye fatigue.

ii. Promote blood circulation around the eyes

Eye massage can also be used to stimulate specific acupoints around the eyes to promote smoother blood circulation. Eye massage can stimulate the blood vessels around the eyes to relax and dilate, which will increase the speed of blood flow, thus allowing more oxygen and nutrients to be transported to the eyes to further maintain the health of the eyes.

On the other hand, smooth blood circulation in the eyes can also enhance the speed of metabolism and the speed and ability of waste products in the eyes. This will also help to minimize the dark circles under the eyes.

iii. Improve dry eyes

Dry eye is a common eye disease. Dry eyes are often caused by a malfunctioning or blockage of the eyelid glands, resulting in a lack of tear production and ultimately dryness and discomfort in the eyes. By gently massaging the area around the eyes, especially near the lacrimal glands, you can help to promote tear production and relieve dryness and discomfort. In addition, specific eye massage techniques can also help to distribute the tears more evenly over the entire surface of the eyeballs to better maintain the moistness of the eyes.

iv. Prevention of myopia

As mentioned above, prolonged eye use can cause excessive fatigue of the eye muscles, especially the ciliary muscles. The ciliary muscle is a smooth muscle located inside the eye and its main function is to help adjust the focus of the eye. However, prolonged exposure to near objects can cause the ciliary muscle to become overly fatigued and spasmodic, eventually leading to increased myopia.

Eye massage can help to relax the ciliary muscles and relieve the tension and pressure on the ciliary muscles. This will help prevent myopia from getting worse or worse that fast. However, it is important to note that eye massage can only help prevent myopia from getting worse, but not help reduce myopia or restore normal vision.

v. Combating eye skin aging

Daily eye massage can also help to combat and slow down the aging of the skin around the eyes, thus preventing or minimizing the effect of fine lines around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is one of the weakest spots on our body, so it is susceptible to external environment and stimuli, accelerating the aging process. Eye massage helps to promote the blood circulation of the skin around the eyes, so that it can absorb more oxygen and nutrients, which in turn improves the skin's elasticity and firmness, and improves the appearance of fine lines and bags around the eyes.
