Eyestrain and dryness

To give your eyes a break while keeping them moist and lubricated here’s what you need to do:

Most eyestrain is caused by overuse- from straining at the computer screen, driving long distances.

Instead of stopping what you do just take a vision break once an hour or so. Then close your eyes and relax for a moment.

When your eyes are unusually dry, cover eyes with a cool compress. Wet a towel in cool water, wring it out, and place it over your eyes for about five minutes.

When your eyes are getting tired, blinking them several times will give quick relief. As a bonus, blinking helps remove dust or grift from the eyes before it causes it irritation.

Also putting some cucumber slices over the eyes can be very soothing.

Can also use artificial tears whenever your eyes feel dry and tired.
