焦虑 - 影响世界各地近20%的近20%的常见情况 - 也有自己的视力症状。最常见的是疼痛的眼睛,这可能是由焦虑和其他焦虑问题引起的。
The Causes of Vision Issues From Anxiety
Sore eyes may not seem like it should be an anxiety symptom. But there are literally hundreds of anxiety symptoms that don't seem to fall under the idea that people have of "anxiety."
焦虑没有明确使你的眼睛疼痛。它确实做的是增加让你的眼睛压力的可能性,这反过来导致酸痛。它可以以任何数量的方式执行此操作:
- 瞳孔放大Anxiety causes pupil dilation. This is part of the fight or flight system, and while scientists aren't completely sure how dilated pupils improve your ability to respond to danger, there is some evidence that dilating your pupils helps you take in more information that may allow you to respond quickly to visual movements (like you would need to if you were in a fight). Unfortunately, since there is no fight, your pupils can be dilated for an extensive period of time, and that may lead to eye strain which causes sore eyes.
- Blurry visionAnxiety does appear to cause the eyes to lose a bit of focus and become more blurry than they would be normally. This blurriness is usually minor (although not always) and in some cases you may not even realize it's occurring. But it will cause you to squint more and cause your eyes to work harder, and that may lead to eye pain.
- Eye Muscles当你有焦虑时,身体的所有肌肉都是紧张的,他们开始体验紧张。这可能导致你眼中的压力,这可能导致痛苦越来越多的时间。
- Lack of SleepIt may not even be that complicated. Anxiety can make it much harder for you to get a restful night's sleep. Tiredness and sleep deprivation commonly cause eye pain and discomfort, so you may simply be dealing with the effects of having your sleep schedule ruined.
These are just a few of the ways that anxiety may cause eye soreness. Another thing to remember is that when you have anxiety, you're also more prone to noticing every single discomfort you feel in your body. Your mind becomes so attuned to the way you feel that any soreness, even if it's normal, is noticed immediately, and when you focus on these types of aches and pains it's not uncommon for them to feel more severe than they normally would.
Since eye strain is pretty common these days, experiencing some eye soreness in your day to day life is common even if you don't have anxiety. If you also are more sensitive to your soreness and discomfort, it's going to feel far more severe.
Ways to Reduce Eye Soreness From Anxiety
通过简单地解决控制内的原因,攻击这种眼睛酸痛开始。这意味着首先去看眼科医生,并确保你的愿景是最好的健康,并睡个好觉睡眠以减少任何正常的眼睛压力。你也应该:
- Reduce Computer Eye StrainFocusing on small text, especially in the dark, already causes eye strain. If your vision is also affected by anxiety, the strain may increase. So make sure that you only use the computer in well-lit rooms, decrease computer time if possible, increase the size of text, and use your glasses when relevant. Computer eye strain is extremely common and possibly worse when you have anxiety, so addressing this issue directly can help.
- 让你的眼睛休息一下一般来说,最好避免不活跃,显然,当你闭上眼睛时,你不能完全从事许多活动。但是,如果你开始感受到眼睛疼痛,那么坐下来闭上眼睛可能是一个好主意。从任何计算机,文本或任何导致眼睛不适的任何东西休息一下。
- Go For a RunRunning doesn't have a direct effect on eye strain, but it does relax the muscles and reduce anxiety. Running appears to release neurotransmitters in the brain that improve mood, and also has the ability to tired muscles out - even those in your eyes - to reduce anxiety tension.
Using these strategies you should be able to decrease some of the strain you place on your eyes on a regular basis, which in theory should reduce at least some of the eye soreness you experience. It won't stop all of the effects of anxiety, since these strategies are not designed for anxiety, but it should decrease some of the instances of eye strain. You'll still need to reduce your anxiety directly.
