一整天盯着电脑，下班再滑手机，到了傍晚眼睛又干又涩、酸酸胀胀，像进了沙子，看东西越来越模糊，忍不住一直眨眼或揉眼。办公室冷气一吹更明显，戴隐形眼镜的人到下午几乎戴不住。很多人以为「滴点眼药水就好」，但眼睛反复地干，其实常常是身体在透过眼睛发信号——中医看，问题不只在眼球表面。
A full day at the computer, then scrolling on your phone after work — by evening your eyes feel dry and gritty, achy, like there's sand in them, and things slowly blur as you blink and rub to cope. The office aircon makes it worse, and contact-lens wearers can barely keep them in by afternoon. Many assume "a few eye drops will fix it," but eyes that keep drying out are often the body signalling through the eyes — in TCM, the problem isn't only on the surface of the eyeball.
Sepanjang hari di komputer, kemudian skrol telefon selepas kerja — menjelang petang mata terasa kering dan berpasir, lenguh, seperti ada pasir di dalamnya, dan penglihatan beransur kabur sambil anda mengerdip dan menggosok. Penyaman udara pejabat memburukkannya, dan pemakai kanta lekap hampir tak tahan menjelang tengah hari. Ramai menyangka "titis mata sudah cukup," tetapi mata yang berulang kali kering sering kali isyarat badan melalui mata — dalam TCM, masalahnya bukan hanya di permukaan bola mata.
为什么眼睛会一直干？
Why Do Your Eyes Keep Drying Out?
Mengapa Mata Anda Terus Kering?
中医有一句话：「肝开窍于目，肝受血而能视。」意思是，眼睛要看得清、看得久，靠的是肝血和阴津的滋润。把眼睛想成一块田：有水有养分，它就湿润清亮；水源不够，它就干裂发涩。而现代人最伤眼的，就是「久视」——中医讲「久视伤血」，长时间盯着屏幕，把养眼的肝血一点一点耗掉，眼睛自然失去濡养。
A classic TCM line: "The liver opens into the eyes; the liver receives blood and so we can see." To see clearly and for long stretches, the eyes rely on the moistening of liver-blood and yin-fluids. Picture the eye as a field: with enough water and nourishment it stays moist and clear; short of water, it cracks and feels dry. And what strains modern eyes most is "prolonged looking" — TCM says "prolonged looking injures the blood." Hours staring at screens slowly drain the liver-blood that nourishes the eyes, and they lose their moisture.
Satu pepatah TCM: "Hati membuka ke mata; hati menerima darah maka kita boleh melihat." Untuk melihat dengan jelas dan lama, mata bergantung pada lembapan darah-hati dan cecair-yin. Bayangkan mata sebagai sebidang tanah: dengan air dan khasiat yang cukup ia kekal lembap dan jernih; kekurangan air, ia merekah dan terasa kering. Dan apa yang paling melelahkan mata moden ialah "melihat terlalu lama" — TCM berkata "melihat lama mencederakan darah." Berjam-jam menatap skrin perlahan-lahan menyusutkan darah-hati yang memberi khasiat kepada mata.
西医看干眼，常和泪液分泌不足、或睑板腺油脂分泌不好、泪液蒸发太快有关。中医则补上另一个角度：为什么你的身体「不够滋润」？多数是肝血不足（久视耗血、血不养目）和肝肾阴虚（阴津亏虚、目失滋养，常见于熬夜、年纪渐长的人），有些人还夹一点阴虚内热。两种角度不冲突——该滴的人工泪液照滴，中医帮你从体质把「水源」补回来。
Western medicine links dry eye to too little tear production, or poor oil from the meibomian glands letting tears evaporate too fast. TCM adds another angle: why is your body "under-moistened"? Usually it's liver-blood deficiency (prolonged looking drains blood, so blood can't nourish the eye) and liver-kidney yin deficiency (depleted yin-fluids, common in night owls and with age), sometimes with a touch of yin-deficient heat. The two views don't clash — keep using artificial tears where needed while TCM works to restore the "water source" from your constitution.
Perubatan Barat mengaitkan mata kering dengan air mata yang terlalu sedikit, atau minyak kelenjar meibomian yang lemah menyebabkan air mata cepat menyejat. TCM menambah sudut lain: mengapa badan anda "kurang lembap"? Biasanya kekurangan darah-hati dan kekurangan yin hati-pinggang, kadangkala dengan sedikit haba kekurangan yin. Kedua-dua pandangan tidak bercanggah — teruskan titis mata jika perlu sementara TCM memulihkan "sumber air" dari perlembagaan anda.
在马六甲，有几个很现代、很本地的诱因让干眼特别常见：整天看电脑、手机，久视伤血、而且专注时眨眼次数会明显变少，泪液蒸发更快；办公室、商场、车里的冷气一直吹，空气偏干又直吹脸，等于一直在「抽干」眼睛；长期熬夜、睡眠不足，暗耗阴血，眼睛第二天特别干涩；长时间戴隐形眼镜。所以同样是干眼，年轻上班族多偏肝血不足、用眼过度，年长者或长期熬夜的人多偏肝肾阴虚。
In Melaka, a few very modern, very local triggers make dry eye especially common: all-day screens, which drain the blood and also cut your blink rate sharply when you concentrate, so tears evaporate faster; constant air-conditioning in offices, malls, and cars — dry air blowing straight at your face, steadily wicking the eyes dry; chronic late nights and poor sleep, quietly draining yin-blood so eyes feel drier the next day; and long hours in contact lenses. So the same dry eye differs by person — younger office workers lean toward liver-blood deficiency and eye strain, older or sleep-deprived people toward liver-kidney yin deficiency.
Di Melaka, beberapa pencetus moden dan tempatan menjadikan mata kering amat biasa: skrin sepanjang hari, yang menyusutkan darah dan mengurangkan kadar kedipan apabila anda fokus; penyaman udara berterusan di pejabat, pusat beli-belah, dan kereta — udara kering terus ke muka; tidur lewat kronik yang menyusutkan yin-darah; dan kanta lekap berjam-jam. Jadi mata kering yang sama berbeza mengikut orang.
你的干眼，偏哪一种？
Which Kind of Dry Eye Do You Have?
Mata Kering Anda Jenis Yang Mana?
临床上，干眼大致可分成这几种常见证型。很多人是夹杂的，也常随熬夜、用眼、季节变化，需要医师四诊辨证。
Clinically, dry eye falls into a few common patterns. Many people are a mix, and it shifts with late nights, screen use, and the seasons — a practitioner's four-part assessment sorts it out.
Secara klinikal, mata kering terbahagi kepada beberapa corak biasa. Ramai orang adalah gabungan — penilaian pengamal mengasingkannya.
眼睛干涩、容易疲劳、看久模糊、眼皮沉重，常伴面色偏白、头晕、手脚易麻、月经量少（女性）。多见于长时间用眼、用脑的上班族、学生。方向是养血柔肝、濡养眼目。
Dry eyes that tire easily, blur after a while, with heavy lids, often with a pale complexion, dizziness, tingling hands and feet, and light periods (in women). Common in office workers and students who overuse their eyes and mind. The direction is to nourish blood, soften the liver, and moisten the eyes.
Mata kering yang mudah penat, kabur selepas seketika, kelopak berat, sering dengan muka pucat, pening, dan haid sedikit (wanita). Biasa pada pekerja dan pelajar yang berlebihan menggunakan mata. Arahnya memupuk darah dan melembapkan mata.
眼睛干涩明显、有灼热感、傍晚加重，常伴口干、咽干、腰膝酸软、睡不好、手心脚心发热。多见于长期熬夜、年纪渐长的人。方向是滋补肝肾、养阴润燥。
Marked dryness with a burning feel, worse toward evening, often with a dry mouth and throat, sore lower back and knees, poor sleep, and warm palms and soles. Common in chronic night owls and with age. The direction is to nourish the liver and kidney and enrich yin to moisten.
Kering ketara dengan rasa panas, lebih teruk menjelang petang, sering dengan mulut dan tekak kering, belakang dan lutut lenguh, tidur terganggu, dan tapak tangan panas. Biasa pada mereka yang tidur lewat kronik. Arahnya menguatkan hati dan pinggang serta memupuk yin.
眼睛干涩兼红、痒、有血丝、分泌物偏黏，情绪一紧张、熬夜、吃辣后加重，常伴口苦、易怒。多见于压力大、爱熬夜的人。方向是清肝泻热、兼顾养阴，不能一味进补。
Dryness with redness, itch, visible vessels, and stickier discharge, worse with stress, late nights, or spicy food, often with a bitter mouth and irritability. Common in the stressed and the night-owl. The direction is to clear liver-channel heat while protecting yin — not simply to tonify.
Kering dengan kemerahan, gatal, salur darah ketara, dan lelehan lekat, lebih teruk dengan tekanan, tidur lewat, atau makanan pedas, sering dengan mulut pahit dan mudah marah. Arahnya membersihkan haba saluran hati sambil melindungi yin.
眼睛干涩、酸胀、怕光、睁眼费力、看一会就想闭眼休息，整个人也容易累、气短懒言。多见于久病、产后、长期操劳的人。方向是益气养阴、润养目窍，一边补气一边生津。
Dryness with aching, light sensitivity, heavy lids, and eyes that tire and want to close after a short while, with general fatigue and breathlessness. Common after long illness, childbirth, or sustained overwork. The direction is to boost qi and nourish yin to moisten the eyes.
Kering dengan lenguh, sensitif cahaya, kelopak berat, dan mata yang cepat penat, dengan keletihan umum. Biasa selepas sakit lama, bersalin, atau kerja berat berpanjangan. Arahnya menambah qi dan memupuk yin untuk melembapkan mata.
中医怎么调干眼症？
How Does TCM Treat Dry Eye?
Bagaimana TCM Merawat Mata Kering?
中医处理干眼的核心，不是硬「润一下表面」，而是先分清是肝血不足、肝肾阴虚、肝经郁热，还是气阴两虚，再决定该养、该滋、还是该清。方向对了，眼睛是慢慢变得「耐用」——看得久一点、不那么容易干和累。
The core of TCM's approach isn't to force moisture onto the surface, but to first tell apart liver-blood deficiency, liver-kidney yin deficiency, liver-channel heat, or qi-and-yin deficiency, then decide whether to nourish, enrich, or clear. Get the direction right and the eyes gradually become more durable — comfortable for longer, less prone to drying and tiring.
Teras pendekatan TCM bukan memaksa lembapan ke permukaan, tetapi mengasingkan corak dahulu, kemudian menentukan arah. Arah yang betul menjadikan mata beransur lebih tahan lama — selesa lebih lama, kurang mudah kering dan penat.
肝血不足常用四物汤、杞菊地黄一类养血柔肝；肝肾阴虚用杞菊地黄丸、一贯煎滋阴润燥；肝经郁热用丹栀逍遥一类清肝兼养；气阴两虚用生脉、益气养阴之法。多以科学中药颗粒（浓缩颗粒/粉）调配，不一定要煎一大锅药，上班族也方便坚持。核心永远是先辨证——同样「眼干」，该养血、该滋阴、还是该清热，方向不同。
Blood-nourishing formulas such as Siwu Tang or Qiju-type for liver-blood deficiency; Qiju Dihuang Wan or Yiguan Jian to enrich yin for liver-kidney yin deficiency; Danzhi Xiaoyao-type to clear liver heat while nourishing; qi-and-yin boosting methods for that pattern. Mostly given as concentrated granules/powder (not a big pot to brew), easy for office workers to keep up. The core is always differentiation first — the same "dry eye" may call for nourishing blood, enriching yin, or clearing heat.
Formula berbeza mengikut corak — kekurangan darah-hati, yin hati-pinggang, haba saluran hati, atau qi-dan-yin. Kebanyakannya diberi sebagai granul tumpat (bukan periuk besar untuk direbus), mudah diteruskan. Terasnya sentiasa membezakan corak dahulu.
针灸常在眼周取睛明、攒竹、丝竹空、太阳、四白等穴，促进眼周气血循环、改善局部濡养；再配远端穴——肝血虚加肝俞、血海，肝肾阴虚加太溪、三阴交，郁热加太冲、光明。眼周用极细针、由受训医师操作，多数人只觉轻微酸胀。局部加远端，一边通一边养，很多人几次后觉得干涩酸胀和用眼疲劳明显减轻。
Acupuncture commonly uses Jingming, Zanzhu, Sizhukong, Taiyang, and Sibai around the eye to improve local circulation and nourishment, paired with distal points — Ganshu and Xuehai for liver-blood deficiency, Taixi and Sanyinjiao for liver-kidney yin deficiency, Taichong and Guangming for heat. Very fine needles around the eye, placed by a trained practitioner; most feel only a mild ache. Local plus distal points work together; many notice the dryness, aching, and eye fatigue ease markedly after a few sessions.
Akupunktur biasanya menggunakan Jingming, Zanzhu, Sizhukong, Taiyang, dan Sibai di sekeliling mata untuk memperbaiki peredaran tempatan, digandingkan titik jauh mengikut corak. Jarum sangat halus, kebanyakan hanya terasa lenguh ringan. Ramai perasan kering dan keletihan mata berkurang selepas beberapa sesi.
轻、新发的干眼，配合改掉用眼习惯，方向对了往往几周就有感。偏虚、拖久的，一般需要1–3个月，让干涩酸胀的程度减轻、发作次数减少、能舒服用眼的时间变长，尤其傍晚和吹冷气时不再那么难受。要诚实说：干眼和用眼习惯高度相关，不改习惯、照样天天熬夜盯屏幕，调理效果会打折；中医的目标是把「水源」补回来、减少反复，而不是保证「从此不再干」。
For mild or new-onset dry eye, with better screen habits, the right direction often helps within a few weeks. A deficient, long-standing case usually needs 1–3 months to reduce the dryness and aching, lower how often it flares, and lengthen comfortable eye time — especially easing the evening and aircon discomfort. Honestly: dry eye is tightly tied to habits; without changing them, results are limited. The goal is to restore the "water source" and reduce recurrence, not to guarantee you'll never feel dry again.
Untuk mata kering ringan atau baru, dengan tabiat skrin yang lebih baik, arah yang betul sering membantu dalam beberapa minggu. Kes kronik biasanya memerlukan 1–3 bulan untuk mengurangkan kekeringan, kekerapan, dan memanjangkan masa selesa. Jujurnya: mata kering berkait rapat dengan tabiat. Matlamatnya memulihkan "sumber air" dan mengurangkan berulang, bukan menjamin tidak akan kering lagi.
一个安全底线，请记住：大部分干眼可以从容调理，但有几种情况要先看眼科、别只想着调理。如果你出现突然视力明显下降、眼睛剧烈疼痛、红肿畏光流泪很严重，或看到闪光、黑影飘动，可能是急性眼病（如青光眼急性发作、角膜损伤、视网膜问题），要尽快看眼科、不要等。另外，如果干眼同时合并口干、关节痛、长期顽固，可能是干燥综合征等免疫问题，建议中西医一起看——先到眼科或风湿免疫科厘清，中医可同时帮你调理体质。该查的先查、该调的慢慢调，两边从不冲突。
One safety line: most dry eye can be treated calmly, but some situations need an eye doctor first. If you have sudden noticeable vision loss, severe eye pain, bad redness with light sensitivity and tearing, or flashes and floating shadows, it may be an acute eye condition (acute glaucoma, corneal injury, retinal problems) — see an ophthalmologist as fast as possible, don't wait. Also, if dry eye comes with a dry mouth, joint pain, and stubborn persistence, it may be an immune condition like Sjögren's — see both Western and TCM care: have an eye or rheumatology specialist clarify it first, while TCM helps with your constitution. Investigate what needs investigating, then treat.
Satu garis keselamatan: kebanyakan mata kering boleh dirawat dengan tenang, tetapi sesetengah keadaan perlu doktor mata dahulu. Jika anda mengalami kehilangan penglihatan mengejut, sakit mata teruk, kemerahan teruk dengan sensitif cahaya, atau kilauan dan bayang terapung, ia mungkin keadaan mata akut — jumpa pakar mata secepat mungkin. Juga, jika mata kering disertai mulut kering, sakit sendi, dan berterusan degil, ia mungkin keadaan imun seperti Sjögren — lihat kedua-dua rawatan Barat dan TCM. Penjagaan TCM dan pemeriksaan perubatan tidak pernah bercanggah.
在看诊之前，你现在可以先做的3件事
3 Things to Do Before Your Appointment
3 Perkara Yang Boleh Dilakukan Sebelum Temujanji
- 给眼睛「定时休息」——记住 20-20-20。每看屏幕 20 分钟，就抬头看 6 米（约 20 英尺）外的地方 20 秒，顺便提醒自己多眨几下眼（专注时眨眼会变少，泪膜更容易干）。调整屏幕：别太亮刺眼、距离拉开一点、顶灯别直射屏幕反光。能少用隐形眼镜的时候就让眼睛透透气。 Give your eyes scheduled rest — remember 20-20-20. Every 20 minutes of screen time, look at something about 6 metres (20 feet) away for 20 seconds, and remind yourself to blink more (we blink less when concentrating, so the tear film dries faster). Adjust the screen: not too bright, a little further away, no overhead glare bouncing off it. Give your eyes a break from contact lenses when you can. Beri mata rehat berjadual — ingat 20-20-20. Setiap 20 minit skrin, pandang sesuatu kira-kira 6 meter jauh selama 20 saat, dan ingat untuk mengerdip lebih kerap. Laraskan skrin: jangan terlalu terang, jarak lebih jauh. Beri mata rehat daripada kanta lekap apabila boleh.
- 睡前热敷眼睑几分钟。用温热（不烫）的毛巾，或干净的热敷眼罩，敷在闭着的眼睑上 5–10 分钟，帮助睑板腺的油脂顺畅分泌，减少泪液蒸发——很多人的干眼其实是「油不够、水蒸发太快」。同样重要的是别让冷气、风扇直吹脸和眼睛，办公室可以把出风口转个方向，或放一小杯水、用点加湿。 Warm-compress your eyelids before bed. Lay a warm (not hot) towel or a clean heated eye mask over your closed lids for 5–10 minutes to help the meibomian glands release oil smoothly and slow tear evaporation — for many, dry eye is really "not enough oil, tears evaporating too fast." Just as important: don't let aircon or fans blow straight at your face and eyes; redirect the office vent, or add a little humidity. Tuam hangat kelopak mata sebelum tidur. Letak tuala suam (bukan panas) atau pelindung mata hangat yang bersih pada kelopak tertutup selama 5–10 minit untuk membantu kelenjar meibomian dan melambatkan penyejatan air mata. Sama penting: jangan biar aircon atau kipas terus ke muka dan mata.
- 睡够、少熬夜，别乱喝「降火」凉茶。熬夜最耗阴血，眼睛第二天特别干——这是最直接、也最有用的一招。至于枸杞菊花茶，枸杞养肝血、菊花清肝明目，确实适合用眼多、偏肝火的人，但要适量；体质偏寒、脾胃虚、容易拉肚子或手脚冰冷的人，菊花喝太多反而伤脾胃。到底该养血、滋阴还是清热，还是先让医师辨清体质，别照着网路偏方一味猛灌。 Sleep enough, cut late nights, and don't over-drink "cooling" teas. Late nights drain yin-blood most, leaving eyes driest the next day — the most direct and useful fix. As for goji-chrysanthemum tea, goji nourishes liver-blood and chrysanthemum clears the liver and brightens the eyes, which suits heavy screen users with some liver-fire — but in moderation; those who run cold, have a weak spleen, or get loose stools and cold limbs can harm their digestion with too much chrysanthemum. Whether to nourish blood, enrich yin, or clear heat, let a practitioner read your constitution first rather than following online remedies. Tidur cukup, kurangkan tidur lewat, dan jangan terlebih minum teh "penyejuk." Tidur lewat paling menyusutkan yin-darah, menjadikan mata paling kering keesokan hari. Teh goji-krisantemum sesuai untuk pengguna skrin berat dengan sedikit api-hati — tetapi secara sederhana; mereka yang berbadan sejuk atau limpa lemah boleh terjejas dengan terlalu banyak krisantemum. Biar pengamal membaca perlembagaan anda dahulu.
常见问题
Frequently Asked Questions
Soalan Lazim
为什么盯屏幕久了眼睛又干又累？Why do my eyes get dry and tired after screens?Mengapa mata kering dan penat selepas skrin?+
中医讲「肝开窍于目，肝受血而能视」——眼睛要靠肝血和阴津来濡养。长时间盯着电脑、手机，中医叫「久视伤血」，用眼过度把养眼的肝血慢慢耗掉，眼睛就失去滋润，出现干涩、酸胀、看久模糊、容易累。再加上冷气与风（偏燥）、熬夜耗阴、戴隐形眼镜，就更容易找上门。所以干眼不只是「眼睛表面缺水」，常是身体肝血不足、肝肾阴虚的一个信号。
TCM says "the liver opens into the eyes; the liver receives blood and so we see" — the eyes rely on liver-blood and yin-fluids. Long hours on screens is what TCM calls "prolonged looking injures the blood": overuse slowly drains the liver-blood that nourishes the eyes, so they lose moisture and turn dry, achy, blurry and tired. Add dry aircon and wind, late nights draining yin, and contact lenses, and it shows up readily. So dry eye isn't just a dry surface — it's often a sign of liver-blood or liver-kidney yin deficiency.
TCM berkata "hati membuka ke mata" — mata bergantung pada darah-hati dan cecair-yin. Berjam-jam di skrin ialah "melihat lama mencederakan darah": penggunaan berlebihan menyusutkan darah-hati, maka mata hilang lembapan dan menjadi kering, lenguh, kabur dan penat. Tambah aircon kering, tidur lewat, dan kanta lekap. Jadi mata kering sering tanda kekurangan darah-hati atau yin hati-pinggang.
滴人工泪液就够了吗？中医能调根本吗？Are eye drops enough? Can TCM treat the root?Cukupkah titis mata? Bolehkah TCM rawat punca?+
人工泪液能即时补充泪液、缓解当下的干涩，是很有用的对症工具，不用排斥，该滴就滴。中医走的是另一条路——从体质入手，滋补肝肾、养血润燥、清虚热，希望改善「身体不够滋润」的底子，让眼睛不那么容易干。两者并不冲突，可以一边用人工泪液缓解、一边做中医调理。诚实说：干眼多半要慢慢调、也和用眼习惯有关，中医的目标是减轻程度、减少发作、延长舒服用眼的时间，不是「滴一次就不再干」。
Artificial tears top up tears and ease the dryness right away — a useful symptomatic tool; use them when needed. TCM takes another route — working from your constitution to nourish liver and kidney, nourish blood and moisten dryness, and clear deficient heat, aiming to improve the under-moistened baseline so eyes dry out less. The two don't clash: use drops for relief while TCM works underneath. Honestly, dry eye is usually a gradual job tied to habits; TCM aims to reduce severity, lower flare frequency, and lengthen comfortable eye time — not a one-off cure.
Titis mata menambah air mata dan meredakan kekeringan serta-merta — alat simptomatik yang berguna. TCM mengambil laluan lain — dari perlembagaan anda untuk memupuk hati dan pinggang serta melembapkan, supaya mata kurang kering. Kedua-duanya tidak bercanggah. Jujurnya, mata kering biasanya kerja beransur yang berkait tabiat; TCM bermatlamat mengurangkan keterukan, kekerapan, dan memanjangkan masa selesa — bukan ubat sekali jadi.
眼周针灸安全吗？会痛吗？Is acupuncture around the eyes safe? Does it hurt?Selamatkah akupunktur sekeliling mata? Sakitkah?+
眼周针灸用的是很细的针，取睛明、攒竹、太阳、四白等眼周穴位，由受过训练的 KKM 注册医师操作，帮助眼周气血循环。眼周皮肤薄、血管多，正规操作下偶尔会有一点小瘀青，几天自行消退，属正常。过程多数人只觉得轻微酸胀，不是剧痛。会不会适合你、怎么搭配远端穴位和中药，医师会按你的体质和眼睛状况决定。有出血倾向或在吃抗凝血药，记得先告诉医师。
Eye-area acupuncture uses very fine needles at points like Jingming, Zanzhu, Taiyang, and Sibai, placed by a trained KKM-registered practitioner to help local circulation. The skin here is thin and well-supplied with vessels, so a small bruise now and then is normal and fades in a few days. Most people feel only a mild ache, not sharp pain. Whether it suits you, and how it pairs with distal points and herbs, is decided by the practitioner based on your constitution and eyes. If you bruise easily or take blood thinners, tell the practitioner first.
Akupunktur sekeliling mata menggunakan jarum sangat halus di titik seperti Jingming, Zanzhu, Taiyang, dan Sibai, oleh pengamal berdaftar KKM untuk membantu peredaran tempatan. Kulit di sini nipis, jadi lebam kecil sekali-sekala adalah normal dan reda dalam beberapa hari. Kebanyakan orang hanya terasa lenguh ringan. Jika anda mudah lebam atau mengambil ubat pencair darah, beritahu pengamal dahulu.
干眼自己在家能做什么缓解？What can I do at home to ease dry eye?Apa boleh saya buat di rumah?+
几件小事很有用：①用眼记得「20-20-20」——每看屏幕 20 分钟，抬头看 6 米（20 英尺）外 20 秒，让眼睛休息、提醒自己眨眼；②睡前用温热毛巾敷眼睑几分钟，帮助睑板腺分泌油脂、减少泪液蒸发；③别让冷气或风扇直吹脸和眼睛，办公室可以调整出风口方向；④睡够、少熬夜（熬夜耗阴，眼睛更干）；⑤屏幕亮度别太刺眼、距离拉开。枸杞菊花茶可以适量，但体质偏寒、脾胃虚、容易拉肚子的人，菊花别喝太多。
A few small things help: (1) the 20-20-20 rule — every 20 minutes of screen time, look 6 metres (20 feet) away for 20 seconds to rest the eyes and remind yourself to blink; (2) a warm towel on closed lids for a few minutes before bed to help the oil glands and slow evaporation; (3) don't let aircon or fans blow straight at your eyes — redirect the vent; (4) sleep enough and cut late nights; (5) keep the screen not too bright and a bit further away. Goji-chrysanthemum tea in moderation is fine, but go easy on chrysanthemum if you run cold or have a weak spleen.
Beberapa perkara kecil membantu: (1) peraturan 20-20-20 — setiap 20 minit skrin, pandang 6 meter jauh selama 20 saat; (2) tuala suam pada kelopak tertutup sebelum tidur; (3) jangan biar aircon terus ke mata; (4) tidur cukup, kurangkan tidur lewat; (5) skrin jangan terlalu terang. Teh goji-krisantemum secara sederhana, tetapi kurangkan krisantemum jika anda berbadan sejuk atau limpa lemah.
眼睛干，什么情况要先看眼科？When should I see an eye doctor first?Bila patut jumpa doktor mata dahulu?+
以下情况要先看西医、别只想着调理：突然视力明显下降、眼睛剧痛、红肿畏光流泪很严重、看到闪光或黑影飘来飘去——这些可能是急性眼病，要尽快看眼科，不要等。另外，如果干眼同时合并口干、关节痛、长期顽固（可能是干燥综合征等免疫问题），建议中西医一起看，先到眼科或风湿免疫科厘清，中医可以同时帮你调理体质。该查的先查、该调的慢慢调，两边从不冲突。
See a Western doctor first in these cases: sudden noticeable vision loss, severe eye pain, bad redness with light sensitivity and heavy tearing, or flashes and floating shadows — these may be acute eye conditions, so see an ophthalmologist quickly, don't wait. Also, if dry eye comes with a dry mouth, joint pain, and stubborn persistence (possibly an immune condition like Sjögren's), see both Western and TCM care. Investigate what needs investigating, then treat; the two never conflict.
Jumpa doktor Barat dahulu dalam keadaan ini: kehilangan penglihatan mengejut, sakit mata teruk, kemerahan teruk dengan sensitif cahaya dan air mata banyak, atau kilauan dan bayang terapung — ini mungkin keadaan mata akut, jadi jumpa pakar mata dengan cepat. Juga, jika mata kering disertai mulut kering, sakit sendi, dan degil berpanjangan (mungkin keadaan imun seperti Sjögren), lihat kedua-dua rawatan Barat dan TCM.
