Home remedies
• Apply compresses of warm water on the eyelids, if the eyes are dry. It’s not necessary to use
sterile water.
• Use eye drops that will temporarily relax sensitive and irritated eyes.
• Create a proper humidity in the room at night,
in order to avoid waking up with red eyes.
• Plan a break from your computer. Take a break
of 10 minutes at every hour.
• Improve your working environment. Reduce
the brightness of the computer screen or install a protection screen, reduce the intensity
of colours.
• Consult your doctor when you have an eye
problem. People ofte n regret that they haven’t
asked for the advice of a doctor earlier, because
the eye exam is not painful and the remedies
are efficient.
