Rise your eye with pure water two
times a day in the morning and before sleep.
if you have allergy please contact
with your ophthalmologist for anti allergic eye drops.

Don’t use expired eye makeup or
products. A lot of people often forget to check the expiry date on eye makeup
or products they use on a daily basis. Using expired eye makeup or
products can cause allergy which cause itching .
Prevention :
It is very important to check the expiry date
on any product that we use for our eyes.
Whatever the expiry date you should
change eye makeup items in every 3
months.
§ Smoking
Cigarettes increase the risk of
age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Working
in a smoky environment is also cause a
lot of vision issues.
Prevention :
Don’t smoke. Stay away from secondary
smoking. People who work in smoky environment should rise their eye with pure
cold water after work.
§ Staring at a smartphone all day
Staring at a digital screen all day
puts a lot of strain on our eyes and can lead to weak eyesight. Computer Vision Syndrome or Digital Eye Strain
has become a large issue in today’s world as technology has become a core part
of our lives.

the light of smart devices. Use appropriate font to read and typing .
§ Skipping your annual eye exam
Skipping your annual eye exam can have a
massive impact on the health of your eyes.Regular eye check-ups are our first
line of defense against vision problems. Diseases like glaucoma can be caught
early during regular check-ups and its damage can be limited successfully.
§ Relying on redness drops
Eye drops that reduce redness in the
eye can be really great but using them too much can have negative impacts on
our eyes. These eyedrops function by constricting our blood vessels and an
over-reliance on them can cause damage in our eyes in the future.
For eye care, topics of eye exercises
are not popular. But eye exercise reduce eye fatigue and relax your eyes at
work.
Below are some of the exercises which
promise to improve the eye health. The best thing about these eye
exercises is that they don’t take much time, require no equipment and are
easy to do.
The Palming Exercise
This exercise is to
relax your eyes and take away the stress. It is a short break where you cover
your eyes with the cup of your palm and fingers on the forehead. Do not
put too much pressure while placing your hands on your eyes. This
exercise will help you rest your eyes and mind and take away the stress from
your daily routine while working.

oblique gaze exercise

1-10 , then shift the eye to the left and count 1-10.
Upward and downward eye movement count 1-10
Upward and right . downward and right
Downward and left , downward and left count 1-10
The Blinking Exercise
When working with digitized media and poorer
attention spans, blinking becomes a lost practice. Blinking is an exercise good
for tired, itchy and dry eyes. Blink your eyes rapidly for about 5 seconds. You
will feel immediate relief from the symptoms.
The
Roll your Eyes Exercise
You are required to
be seated comfortably. It is a 2 minutes exercise. Firstly roll your eyes in a
clockwise direction while keeping your eyes open and then anti-clockwise. Do it
slowly, trying to stretch the eyes as far as they can go. This exercise will make your eyes feel
relaxed. Do this exercise for about 2-3 minutes and you would be able to
focus much better.
The
Hot and Cold Compresses
Take a bowl of cold
water and hot water. Dip one end of towel or washcloth in each bowl. Then put
hot compress first over your eyebrows and eyes respectively. Savor the warmth
for at least 5 seconds and then move on to cold compress and let it there for 5
seconds. Do this routine for at least 5 times.
The
Focus Shifting Exercise
This is another very simple exercise which can help in strengthening the
weakened eye muscles. To start, focus on a nearby object for about 5 seconds.
Then move on to distant objects and focus on it for another 5 seconds. This
sporadic shifting gives strength to the eye muscles and refreshes them too.
Initially, you might find shifting focus with your eyes quite difficult as your
eyes have become Lazy. As you continue doing this day after day, you will find
it much easier to do. Focusing on one object strengthens eye muscles and it
improves concentration power. This is one of the natural ways of improving the
strength of your eye muscles if you remember to change focus and move your eyes
to encourage relaxation.
