Eat Eye-Friendly Foods
Incorporate lutein and zeaxanthin-rich foods into your diet. Think of it as giving your eyes a power-up! Consider the vibrant colours of Indian cuisine
– think spinach, corn and other leafy greens. These nutrients are your eyes' best friends, keeping them healthy and bright, just like a Bollywood star's eyes!
Conscious Blinking Practice
Do you blink enough? Consciously blink more to keep your eyes lubricated, especially when you're glued to your phone or laptop. Make it a habit, just like sipping chai in the evening. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in keeping your eyes refreshed throughout the day.
The 20-20-20 Rule
Follow the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This simple exercise is like a mini-vacation for your eyes, preventing strain caused by prolonged screen time. It’s your personal eye-spa, easily integrated into your busy life.
Warm Compress Comfort
Relax your eyes with warm compresses. Gently apply a warm compress for relaxation. This can soothe tired eyes and encourage relaxation. Think of it as a calming 'garam patti' for your eyes, especially after a long day of work or travel.
Screen Setup Adjustments
Adjust your screen height and distance for optimal viewing. Ensure your screen is at eye level or slightly below, and maintain a comfortable distance. It's like finding the perfect seat in the cinema – ensuring your eyes are not strained while enjoying your favourite content.
Outdoor Breaks Delight
Incorporate eye-friendly breaks outdoors. Step away from your screen for short breaks in natural light. It is like taking a walk in the park. This reduces eye strain and provides a welcome change of scenery, perfect for a breath of fresh air.
Softer Indoor Lighting
Choose softer indoor lighting. Harsh lighting can strain your eyes. Softer, ambient lighting is more comfortable and kinder to your eyes. Consider adding a dimmer switch or using warmer bulbs for a more pleasant atmosphere.
Gentle Eye Yoga
Practice gentle eye yoga. Try simple exercises to strengthen your eye muscles and improve circulation. It is like a morning yoga session. Look up, down, and side-to-side. This can help relax your eyes and promote overall eye health.
