We often fail to realize how precious is it to have good eye sight, until times when we experience suddenly blindness or blur vision. We punished our eyes by driving it to work long hours in front computers, and go along with our entertainments on televisions. In a long run, our eyes will eventually get tired and signal for a rest. So, how can we give it a proper rest? Let me share some of the common and simple tips that are always being forgotten.
1. Have ample rest
Having a plenty rest not only it's good for our eyes. There's an old saying, "Resting is to allow us to walk a longer Journey". Indeed, having a good rest each day allow us to perform better next day. Being able to work with our best, we are able to live out the most each day, thus having a more fulfilling day and covered a greater distance in our 'journey' towards our goal. And our eyes are invaluable asset to achieve our dreams! So take care of them by giving them some proper rest.
2. Drink sufficient water daily
It's really basic, water is the source of life. 70% of our body makes up of water. If we failed to replenish our water contents, it is a given for our eyes to feel dry and sore, and get tired easily. The average amount of water needed per day for an adult should be around 2 Litres. It should not be a difficult amount to achieve. If you find it hard, try using bottles that can hold up to 1 Litre. So drinking 2 bottles each day solve the problem!
3. Wash your eyes under cold water
As much as possible, try to wash your eyes under cold water in regular intervals. Doing so will constantly help to remove dust and unwanted dirty particles around the eyes. Cold water will also help to cool our burning eyes, a sensation that you will most likely experience when your eyes are tired.
4. Interval rest between task
Work that requires eye concentration will definitely harm your eyes. Most common example is computer job. You will surely experience strain in the eye after long hours staring at the monitor. How should we care for our eyes while keeping up with our work? Cultivate a habit. Always remember to take a short break for your eyes every 45 minutes or 1 hour. Start by closing your eyes for 30 seconds to a minute, after that look far away for as long as you could. If time permits, do a short eyes exercise.
5. Wear shades or sun glasses when expose to sunlight
The Ultra-Violet ray emitted from Sun proves to be harmful to our eyes. The damage to our eyes is cumulative, therefore you may not feel the effect now. That's why it is important that we take extra precautions to protect our eyesight. Using shades is one of the most simplest way to protect UV ray damage. So the next time you hit the streets under bright daylight, remember to wear a shades! A little effort each time, helps your eyes. And you can still look cool while doing so.
