Dry Eye Syndrome, Eye Fatigue

Relationship between eye fatigue and cervical spine

Why keeps repeating?

Why does dry eye syndrome
keep recurring?

Dry eye syndrome is not simply a problem of the eyes alone.

It is a complex disorder caused by imbalances in the three layers of the tear film (lipid, aqueous, and mucin), as well as tension in the cervical spine and trapezius muscles that obstructs blood flow to the eyes, decreased blinking from digital device use, and autonomic nervous system imbalances.

Artificial tears are only for temporary symptom relief. They fail to fundamentally address the imbalance in tear film components, cervical tension that hinders tear production, and improper blinking patterns, which causes symptoms to recur.

While results vary individually, many patients feel reduced eye fatigue and increased comfort starting from the 1st or 2nd session through cervical relaxation and circulation acupuncture. With consistent treatment, the frequency of recurrence significantly decreases.

Yes, it is possible. Since eyes can be drier and more sensitive due to lens wear, we provide separate guidance on customized management routines and eye drop usage for lens users.

Yes, of course. Recently, many students experience 'fatigue-type dryness' due to smartphone use and academic stress. In these cases, treatment to relieve cervical tension and protect vision is particularly effective.
