Most of our work is done on computers, and there is usually no escape from it. It is a visually intensive task and, unfortunately, our work pressure and lifestyles do not give us the opportunity to be kind to our eyes.

Some of the simple and valuable tips in handy,

Exercise Your Eyes

Our regular work hours should be infused with short breaks. During such breaks, a small and easy exercise can be done:
"First, blink your eyes several times. While you keep your eyes closed, roll your eyeballs both clockwise and anticlockwise and take a deep breath. Gradually open your eyes while releasing your breath. This exercise lasts for a minute and you can repeat it three times before getting back to work."
It serves as a good workout for the eyes.

Look Away

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. Try taking such visual breaks for about 5 to 10 minutes every hour.

Palming

Sit straight at your workstation and rub your palms against each other till you feel them warm. The warmth of your palms helps soothe and relax tired eyes. Then, lightly cup your eyes with your palms and relax for 60 seconds. Count the seconds in your mind. Repeat this exercise 2 or 3 times whenever your eyes feel tired, or as often as you want.

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.

Take A Walk

After you are done with lunch, take a stroll outside your office for a few minutes. this will give your eyes a much-needed break and get them some fresh air.

Use Tea Bags

Keep 2 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 Water

Drink plenty of water. It helps reduces puffiness. When a person is dehydrated, especially in air-conditioned office, the body starts storing water as a defence mechanism. This adds to puffiness around the eyes.
