Care for your eyes

Dr Vishwas Chhabra

Human eyes need care. With age, the muscles around the eyes become rigid and lose their elasticity. Yoga can help tired eyes.

Exercise your eyes

Blink your eyes: While keeping them closed, roll the eyeballs in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction. Take a deep breath. Gradually open your eyes while releasing your breath. This lasts for a minute. Repeat three times

Look away: While working long hours, turn away from your computer. Look at distant objects. This helps eyes focus better

Palming: Sit straight at the workstation and rub your palms against each other till they become warm. Then, lightly cup both eyes with the palms and relax for 60 seconds

Splash water on your face with eyes closed

Drink plenty of water: It helps reduce puffiness

Eat healthy: Incorporate vitamins A, C, and E on a daily basis. Pack a box of chopped carrots, cucumber and fresh fruits and munch in between meals in office
