I wonder if you have ever felt that as long as your tie is fastened tightly, your eyes will become swollen and uncomfortable, and your vision will become blurred; When loosening or not wearing a tie, the above symptoms disappear. This phenomenon is not unusual, and wrapping the neck too tightly does increase the risk of eye disease. When a tie is fastened too tightly, it can compress the carotid arteries and nerves, hinder normal blood flow in the human body, cause ischemia and hypoxia in the brain, limit normal nutrition supply, and affect the optic and oculomotor nerves, resulting in symptoms such as eye swelling and blurred vision. On the other hand, too tight a tie can also cause pressure on the neck veins, which can prevent venous blood from flowing smoothly back to the heart and accumulate in the periocular tissue, affecting vision and causing swelling and discomfort in the eyes.
Some studies have shown that tight wrapping around the neck can also increase the pressure on the eyes, leading to the occurrence of eye diseases. A study by the German medical department has shown that tying a tie tightly under the neck and throat can easily cause glaucoma. Researchers tested 40 male citizens and found that after wearing a tie for three minutes, most people's intraocular pressure increased by 20%. Tying a tie compresses the neck veins, affects blood circulation, and has side effects on the eyes. German experts advise not to tie your tie too tightly.
In the United Kingdom and the United States, glaucoma is the main cause of preventable eye blindness, most of which occurs when the flow of aqueous humor is blocked, causing excessive eye pressure and damaging the optic nerve. Robert Ritchie, an ophthalmologist at the New York Eye and Ear Hospital, said that tying a tie too tightly can compress the veins in the neck, causing more blood to flow into the eyes, which can increase eye pressure. Excessive eye pressure can ultimately cause more serious damage to the eyes than glaucoma. Men with tight ties and thick necks should be wary of long-term damage to the optic nerve.
For this reason, ophthalmologists caution people not to tie ties too tightly when wearing them; For those wearing Tang costumes, the collar button should not be too tight. The neck should have an appropriate degree of freedom to effectively protect the eyes.
