The choice of cold or hot compresses should be analyzed specifically for different conditions. Cold compresses are chosen when the eyes are bleeding and painful, while hot compresses can be chosen when the eyes are tired and dry.
The common benefits of cold compresses on the eyes are vasoconstriction, reduction of edema and pain, and so on. For example, cold compresses can constrict blood vessels and reduce ocular edema when the granuloma is large and painful. When subconjunctival hemorrhage, cold compresses can stop bleeding and prevent rebleeding.
Hot compresses can improve the function of localized blepharoplasty glands, accelerate the blood circulation of the ciliary muscle and choroid inside the eyeball, and relieve visual fatigue. Hot compresses are not only suitable for people whose eyes are dry and fatigued due to long-term eye use, but also for patients suffering from blepharosphenoid gland dysfunction.
Cold compresses and hot compresses must pay attention to the frequency and duration, it is best to carry out under the guidance of a professional doctor, do not blindly, and at the same time, pay attention to eye cleaning, to prevent infection.
