How to Revitalize Dry, Strained Eyes
There could be a range of reasons for experiencing tired, achy eyes. Following the tips on this list can help you rule out whether you need to see an eye doctor about your condition. If you have acute pain from eyestrain, try a cold compress on your eyes. The following eight methods for countering eyestrain and revitalizing dry eyes are best done regularly to prevent dryness and eyestrain.
- Wear a Sleep Mask to Bed
Sleep with an eye mask if you’re suspicious your eyelids aren’t fully closing; usually, it’s because there’s a gap in the inner corners of the eyes. Especially with air conditioning and heating in the home, dry air can be blowing at the eyes, and they have a hard time staying lubricated.
- Massage Around Your Eyes
Use your fingertips to gently massage around your eyes and on your temples periodically or when you start to feel your eyes getting tired. You can also find devices that go on your head and massage around your eyes. Alternatively, try using a face roller around your eyes and on your entire face to revitalize your eyes.
- Do Eye Movement Exercises
Spend a minute gently looking up, down, left, and right with your eyeballs without moving other muscles, just like you would roll your neck. Those little muscles need to be stretched so the tension can go away.
