If you are spending most of your time studying or working on computer, then dry, itchy eyes and headaches are common. ROSHNI DEVI shares home remedies that can help relieve the pain
With online classes and work from home becoming the new normal, the screen time has increased manifold for both adults and children. This often result in increased eye strain thereby resulting in headaches.
Not only this, dry and itchy eyes are also no exception, more so because of the changing weather. Here are a few home remedies that will help relax your eyes and headaches.
First, while working on laptop/computer, one should take breaks every 20 minutes. This will give your eyes the much needed relax and will eliminate the risk of headache.
Second, blink often. While working/studying on the the devices, we often forget to blink, this increases the pressure on the eyes and can lead to dry and itchy eyes. Also the changing weather acts as a catalyst to increase dryness in eyes.
Third, splash your eyes with cold water atleast two-three times a day.
Fourth, use ice packs. Ice will help reduce the discomfort and eliminate headaches. Take two ice cubes, wrap them in a towel and place them on your eyes for around 10 to 15 mins. Repeat it daily.
