When
working in in front of the computer for long hours, stop work and take a break
after every hour. Get up from your seat and walk around the place or look at
distant objects then returning to your task. These can helps your eyes to have a
better focus. You may also give rest
to your tired eyes by applying two thin slices of cucumber as cool compress, or
splash cold water occasionally to eyes to relax them and bring back the sparkle
to tired eyes.
Do not rub your eyes whenever dirt enters into it as
this may cause the dirt to trap inside. Try blinking your eyes several times to
start your tears flowing. This will help help to flush out the dirt.
For those who spend most of the time outdoor during peak daytime, wear proper eye protection (e.g. sunglasses) to avoid excess UV exposure that may cause eye damage.
