To relieve eye irritation, use a clean washcloth dipped in warm water, wring it out and place it over your eyes, and close your eyes for at least a minute. Gently press on the edge of the eyelid. The heat helps loosen the clogged oil in the glands. Regularly wet the towel with warm water. You should do this every day to reduce inflammation, even if your eye condition gets better.

Wear sunglasses when going out

This can help protect your eyes from wind and sunlight, which cause tears to evaporate faster. In addition, you should also avoid air blowing from a hair dryer, air conditioner or fan towards your eyes.

Relieve eye strain by drinking water and using eye drops

Water is the main component of tears, so it is recommended to drink at least 2 liters of water a day to keep yourself hydrated. If you find your eyes are feeling dry and irritated, use lubricating drops (artificial tears) as often as needed to keep your eyes more comfortable.

Take time to do eye exercises to relieve eye strain

Working from home means you spend a lot of time looking at screens – your eyes may feel dry, itchy or tight as a result. To make your eyes feel better, there are several different eye exercises you can do every day:

- Blink often

Each blink is a time when the eye is covered with a layer of tears. Therefore, to relieve dry eyes quickly, you need to blink more continuously and more often.

Keeping the head still, close the eyes, slowly and gently move the eyeball vertically (up - down), do 10 times.

- Roll your eyes

Supplement nutrients

Diet is an essential part of maintaining eye health. The overall health of your eyes depends on certain nutrients, such as vitamins A and C, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, and antioxidants. Eating foods rich in these nutrients (sometimes called superfoods) can keep your eyes functioning at their best for a longer period of time, as well as help prevent various eye problems.
