Tips for Healthy Eyes
Eyes are among the most important of all sense organs. 80% of the information our brain receives is through our eyes. Ensure that you take the time, effort and money to buy a good pair of spectacle lenses. Remember, it’s the spectaclelenses that you look through and not the frame. Ensure that your lenses are hard coated for increased scratch resistance. Anti reflective coating helps maximum amount of light to enter our eyes.
Look away from the system
While working for long hours, look at distant objects either in your office or outside. Looking at a distant object and then returning to your task helps your eyes focus better. Taking such visual breaks for about five to ten minutes every hour is helpful to the eyes.
Palming the eyes
Sit straight at your workstation and rub your palms against each other till you feel them become warm. Then, lightly cup your eyes with your palms and relax for 60 seconds. Count the seconds in your mind. Repeat this exercise two to three times whenever your eyes feel tired, or as often as you want. The warmth of your palms helps soothe and relax constantly working internal focussing muscles of eyes. While palming, you can either rest your elbows on your desk or keep away from the desk and cup your eyes. Both ways are fine.
Splash water on your face
During breaks, splash water on your face while closing your eyes. This has an overall relaxing effect and helps you feel refreshed. But frequent washing of eyes is not good.avoid eye injury by water.
Take a walk in the open
Take a stroll outside your office for a few minutes in between your work. This will give your eyes a much-needed break and get them some fresh air, try to be in the midst of nature, if possible.
Use tea bags
Keep two used tea bags in the refrigerator before you leave for work. Once you are home, place the tea bags on your eyes for a few minutes as you relax. This not only soothes tired eyes, but also reduces puffiness.
Drink a lot of water
Drinking plenty of water helps reduce puffiness. When a person is dehydrated, especially in an air-conditioned office, the body starts storing water as a defense mechanism. This adds to puffiness around the eyes.
Eat healthy
Vegetables are a great source of nutrition for the body. Incorporate Vitamins A, C, and E on a daily basis; eat citrus fruits, green leafy veggies, tomatoes, spinach, poultry and dairy products. Instead of having a bag of chips, pack a box of chopped carrots, cucumber and fresh fruits and munch in-between meals at the office.
Know your contact lenses
Ideally, a person who uses contact lenses should wear it for not more than 10-12 hours a day and occasionally for 14 hours a day. Never wear your contact lenses while swimming. The pool water houses various micro-organisms as there are several people using it. This may lead to fungal infections in the eyes. In addition, the chlorine in the water can damage your contact lenses. Lenses are like sponge, making them susceptible to attracting dirt.
