The importance of eyes

Eyes are the most important organs in a human body. Without them, an individual loses his vision and thus is incapable of seeing.
Eye care is the most important aspect that one needs to look after and should not neglect it.

Given below are some tips for beautiful and clean eyes:

1)      Dip cotton buds in a bowl of water and keep it idle overnight. Squeeze the water out of the cotton buds and wash your eyes with that water the next morning

2)      Take a bowl of rose water mixed with castor oil. Put some cotton buds in the bowl for 15-20 minutes. Place the soaked pads on the eyelids for 15-20 minutes. Any burning sensation, irritation will be gone.

3)      Crush some pieces of cucumber and squeeze them through a muslin cloth and extract the juice. Dip cotton pads in this juice for a couple of minutes and then keep them on the eyelids and the darkened areas. Relax for 15-20 minutes. For best results continue this for the next 2-3 days to yield optimum results.

4)      Take 1 teaspoon of tomato pulp, 1 pinch of turmeric powder, half a teaspoon of lime juice and one teaspoon of gram flour.  Make a paste of all the above mention ingredients.  Gently apply on the eye lids and the darkened areas and let it remain for half an hour – 45 minutes. Remove the paste gently with moist cotton. For best results, continue this activity for a week.

If you are a computer professional, you need to take even more care of your eyes. This may cause many eye related problems in future. Here are some more tips for people using computers extensively:

1)      Look at distant away objects after every 30-40 minutes and blink several times.

2)      Blink more often. People using computers blink rarely.  This may lead to dry eyes. One must blink every 15-20 mins.

3)      Take a walk around your cubicle once every 15 minutes. Walking increases blood supply to brains.
