Have Beautiful Eyes

Few tips for all to have good and beautiful eyes.

Do's and Dont's of Eye Care

Simple everyday eye exercises
After every hour before a computer screen, close your eyes gently for 30 seconds to relax them.
Yoga experts recommend you to rotate your eyes often to relax muscles. Move your eyeballs from extreme left corner to the right corner.
Hold a pencil at arm's length and slowly bring it towards your nose, keeping eyes focused at all times. This helps prevent blurred vision.
When to see a doctor
If you have persisting headaches see a doctor and well light your work area and correct your reading/writing posture. · If you have sties often, they may indicate refractive error.
If you squint every time you read a book or watch television.
If you have dryness of the eyes, check out if it's due to antihistamines, decongestants, diuretics, muscle relaxants, tranquilizers that you may have taken.
If you plan to take oral contraceptives they may decrease tolerance of the eye.
Even if you have no complaints it's important to see a doctor and have a routine eye check up.
Don'ts of eye care
Don't wear contact lenses for extended periods of time or overnight as this leads to complication.
Don't rub eyes frequently as this can cause an eye infection as few of us bother to wash our hands before touching our eyes.
When you splash water do not do this furiously believing doing this will take away tiredness instead wash gently as splashing may hurtle the smallest dust particles or an allergen which may minutely damage the cornea.
Use disposable tissues instead of handkerchiefs to wipe eyes, as they are more hygienic.
Don't sit near than 15 feet from the television and keep your book at least two feet away for stronger eye muscles.
Use cream based eye makeup as powdery eye shadows can enter eyes and, cause irritation. Be very gentle in case you wear lenses.
Avoid using aerosol products like hairspray if you wear lenses.
Don't use your mascara for more than a year.
