【眼垢多多】醒來睜不開眼睛！
#星期三問題多多
#去酒樓你飲菊花茶嗎？
#初春是木棉花盛開的季節
眼屎多因為火氣大？
無眼睇：EC，早上起身時，眼垢總是多得似漿糊般封住雙眼，要很用力才能打開，為什麼呢？
EC：在中醫角度來說，眼垢過多是由於體內有熱所致所，其中上班一族由於經常熬夜晚睡、出街應酬大魚大肉、喝酒、每天數杯提神咖啡，所以特別容易有眼垢。如果生活上不能作出微調，就要向飲食著手，例如少吃生冷、辛辣、煙、酒、濃茶咖啡等刺激性及重口味食物。當然，如眼垢多兼伴有雙眼通紅、痕癢或赤痛，則要排除是否眼睛發炎，要儘快求醫較穩妥。

Heat in body causes eye booger?
EC, when I wake up in the morning, there’s so much eye booger that basically glue my eyes shut, why is that?
From Chinese medicine perspective, eye discharge is usually due to heat in the body. Working people frequently have late nights, have to entertain with heavy meals and alcohol, and usually have multiple cups of coffee each day, so they are prone to eye discharge. If you cannot make adjustments in your lifestyle, then you need to look into your dietary intake. Try to have less cold/raw and spicy things, avoid alcohol, smoking, and strong coffee or heavy-flavored foods. If your eye discharge is accompanied by redness, itch or pain in the both eyes, then you should see a doctor to ensure its not eye infection.
