受新冠肺炎疫情影響，許多職場人士居家辦公，遠(yuǎn)程處理工作事務(wù)，長時(shí)間使用電腦、手機(jī)。有人甚至表示，居家辦公比上班還累，因?yàn)楦緵]有下班的時(shí)候。

眼科專家表示，這種情況下，合理用眼顯得更加重要。

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)】

這里的eyestrain和eye fatigue均表示“眼睛疲勞”，有時(shí)eyestrain也寫作eye strain，常見的眼睛疲勞癥狀有：眼睛發(fā)熱或發(fā)癢（burning eyes or itchy eyes）、眼睛紅腫（sore or irritated eyes）容易流淚（watery eyes）、視線模糊或重影（blurred or double vision）、眼睛對光敏感（sensitivity to light），以及肩頸背痛（pain in the neck, shoulders, or back）等。

魏文斌建議，

People should ensure adequate sleep of seven to eight hours each night and exercise at home, including yoga, jogging, or sit-ups, said Wei, adding that computer keyboards should be cleaned regularly to prevent conjunctivitis caused by bacteria.
人們應(yīng)該保證每晚7到8小時(shí)的睡眠，在家也要鍛煉身體，比如：瑜伽、慢跑或仰臥起坐等，此外，要定期清潔電腦鍵盤，以防止由細(xì)菌感染導(dǎo)致的結(jié)膜炎。
