Often reading novels on the phone causes eye pain and tears. You can try the following methods to relieve the symptoms: 1. adjust the brightness and contrast of the screen to make it more comfortable and reduce eye irritation. 2. Try to avoid staring at the screen for a long time when using the phone. Rest for 5-10 minutes every hour to let your eyes rest. 3. Maintain indoor air circulation to avoid eye irritation from the reflection of the screen. 4. Keep your eyes moist. You can use a moisturizer or wet towel to increase the humidity of the air to relieve dry eyes. 5. Follow the correct eye habits such as resting regularly, looking far away, and avoiding excessive fatigue. If you really need to use your phone for a long time, you can choose to wear a mask or glasses to reduce the burden on your eyes. I hope the above suggestions can help alleviate the discomfort in my eyes. If the symptoms persist, it is recommended to go to an oculist for examination and treatment.
