Everyday eye care: This is how you can help your eyes
Modern everyday life means stress for the eyes. Exhaust fumes and fine dust in big cities, cigarette smoke, dry air from heating and air-conditioning, and not to forget the constant staring at screens - whether at home or in the office - can take their toll on sensitive eyes. These tips can help you prevent your eyes from drying out under all this strain.
Tips Getting through the day with healthy eyes
A healthy diet, enough sleep and a daily fluid intake of at least two litres of water are the basis for healthy eyes. Furthermore, you should not lose sight of what your eyes need: regular breaks from working at the computer, fresh oxygen from airing the room, or walks and relaxation exercises quickly revive strained eyes. Also avoid the typical causes of dry eyes: central heating, air conditioning, cigarette smoke, draughts and fine dust. Contact lens wearers can protect their eyes with regular glasses-wearing days. However, if your eyes itch or burn nevertheless, moisturising eye drops can relieve the symptoms by strengthening the tear film and protecting the surface of the eye.
