Question

A 6-year-old girl has been experiencing frequent blinking along with dry eyes recently. An ophthalmological examination did not reveal any serious issues. What could be the possible causes? How should it be handled? Is it related to hyperactivity disorder?

Answer

Dry eyes may be due to insufficient rest or conjunctivitis leading to reduced tear secretion. It is recommended to use Beflex eye drops, ofloxacin eye drops, or various artificial tears, as well as Mingmu Dihuang Wan for treatment. Daily diet should be balanced, with an increased intake of water, fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoidance of spicy and irritating foods. Additionally, regional massage and heat compresses can help alleviate symptoms while maintaining appropriate humidity indoors.
