For women who love beauty, problems like pale complexion, freckles, and sparse eyebrows are no big deal. With a stroke of their paintbrush, they can solve any problem.
However, if your eye bags are too severe, even Ma Liang's magic paintbrush can't save you. Many women may not know that eye bags can affect our health, thinking they only affect our appearance, but that's not the case at all.
So what exactly are the harmful effects of eye bags on the eyes? Let's find out!
Harm 1: Eye strain
As is well known, eye bags are caused by the bulging of three fat pads in the orbital septum and the relaxation of the supporting structure of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Their formation is mainly due to factors such as staying up late, excessive use of the eyes, family history, and physical illness.
Because the fat within the orbital septum fascia gradually expands over time, if it is not removed in a timely manner, it can cause eye strain due to long-term compression of the optic nerve.
Harm 2: Decreased vision
In real life, it is not uncommon for people to experience vision loss due to excessively large eye bags.
A media outlet once reported that a 27-year-old man from a city in Shandong Province suddenly found his vision becoming increasingly blurry. When he finally went to the hospital for a checkup, it was discovered that his severe under-eye bags had caused the fat within the orbital septum to compress the optic nerve for a long time, leading to insufficient oxygen supply to the eyes and causing eye strain, which eventually resulted in decreased vision.
Harm 3: Conjunctivitis
Excessive eye bags can cause eyelid eversion, leading to prolonged exposure of the conjunctiva and increasing the risk of bacterial infection and conjunctivitis. While conjunctivitis itself does not severely affect vision, it can cause visual impairment when the inflammation spreads to the cornea or causes complications.
Since eye bags are so harmful to the eyes, how can we prevent and treat the problems they cause? Actually, you can use the following foods:
1. Apple
Method: Place two slices of fresh apple on your eyes and lie down for 15 minutes. Continue this daily, and your eye bags, dark circles, and crow's feet will gradually disappear! This method can also be used with potatoes, with equally amazing results.
II. Milk
Method: Mix cold water and cold whole milk in a 1:1 ratio. Soak cotton balls or cotton pads in the milk and water mixture. Finally, wring the cotton balls or cotton pads slightly until they are no longer dripping wet, and apply them to your eyes for 15 minutes.
3. Brown sugar
Method: Put an appropriate amount of brown sugar into a pot and heat over low heat. When the brown sugar starts to smoke slightly, wrap it in a handkerchief or gauze. Pay attention to the temperature, and when your eyelids can tolerate it, apply the warm compress to the area around your eyes in a clockwise direction.
IV. Honey Method
Method: After washing your face, do not dry it. Let it air dry. Then apply honey around your eyes and massage for a few minutes. After resting for 10 minutes, wash it off with water. Once your face is dry, apply eye cream.
Eye bags are the enemy of beauty-conscious women. Even the most beautiful face will look dull and aged if you have puffy eye bags. So, why not try some of the methods mentioned above?
