What can your “poor” eyes do if you make them “work” strenuously? And you cannot even take up the entire blame on your shoulders! You will instead blame the profession that demands you to keep looking on the computer screen for long hours.
Your eyes are invaluable! They are more expensive than the most precious jewel on this earth. So, won’t you be dutiful in preserving what God has given to you? Eyes cannot go on working uniformly; they may feel tired at some points. Here’s how you can treat tired eyes:

Apply Cold Compress
If your eyes are itchy or bloodshot, try the home remedy most often employed for eye troubles: immerse a washcloth in ice-cold water and place over your face until the washcloth warms. Reapply the cold compress until the itchiness abates.
Wash with Cold Water
Wash your eyes with cold water, several times a day. This treatment reduces inflammation, moisturizes the skin /tissues, relaxes the eyes and provides relief from eyestrain and fatigue.
Press with Cotton Balls Dipped in Cold Milk
Take a bowl of cold milk. Dip cotton balls and place them on your eyes.
Place Cucumber Slices over Your Eyes
Cut cucumber/potato slices and place them over eyes for 15 to 20 minutes.
Place Cold Spoons Below Your Eyes
One of the simplest home remedies for tired eyes is to place two spoons in the freezer. Take them out when they are cold and place them under the eyes to reduce puffiness. Do not freeze the spoons.
Apply Cotton Balls Soaked in Lavender Oil-Water Solution
In a bowl of water, add a few drops of lavender oil. Soak a cotton ball in this and place it over the eyelids.
Keep a Cold Strawberry on Your Eyelids
Place a strawberry, kept in the refrigerator for a few minutes, on the eyelids. This will be beneficial in treating tired eyes.
Use a Boric Acid Solution
Boil 2 cups of water. In it, add a small amount of boric acid. Once cooled, use the solution to wash the eyes for quick relief.
Use Chilled Tea Bags
Use tea bags of the flavor or kind of your choice to make a brew that will be one of the best home remedies for your eyes. Boil water in a small pot and add two tea bags. After leaving at a rolling boil for 5 minutes, remove from heat and chill. Once fully chilled, place the tea bags over your eyes and relax as they take away the itchiness, reduce dark circles and puffiness, sooth soreness and reduce the bloodshot appearance.
As an alternative, combine with one of the other natural cures and immerse a washcloth in the chilled tea to produce a compress to get the same soothing effect.
Apply a Cotton Ball Soaked in Rose Water
You can simply soak a cotton ball into rose water, khus water or mint water and place it on the closed eyelids.
Your eyes have the capability to dominate others. Your eyes are also blessed with the power to understand what is going on in others’ minds. Your eyes let you know about the beautiful as well as the dark avenues of this world. Preserving them will help you to see this world to the full!
