Keeping your eyes healthy should be your priority, given that most of us are still working from home. ROSHANI DEVI shares easy home remedies that can help relieve the discomfort
Taking care of eyes is important, especially when work from home has probably left you with longer working hours. This definitely calls for extra care for the eyes. Here are a few tips that can help.
One, don’t forget to take breaks every 20 minutes. Stop for a while, look away from the screen for at least five minutes or close your eyes for two minutes.
Two, use cold water to wash your eyes every time you take a break. Even in the morning, just after you get up splash water on the eyes for a good two-three minutes.
Three, if your eyes feel tired or puffy, cut cucumber slices and put them over the eyes. Rest for 10 minutes. One can also use cotton pads soaked in rose water to soothe tired eyes. One can put the soaked cotton pads in the fridge for half an hour before using them.
Four, if you eyes are itchy or red, use ice cubes over the eyelids. However, don’t use them directly, wrap them in a towel or a cotton cloth and then use. Do this for at least 20 minutes. However, if the itchiness continues do visit the doctor.
