1. Eye Exercise
There are easy ways to relax and light up the eyes which improve blood circulation and ease off eye straining.
The first eye exercise is to shut the eyes and squeeze them tightly. Then open them quickly, as wide as possible. Repeat until the eyes begin to water. This will help your eyes look and feel fresh and bright.
You can also move a pen or pencil horizontally and vertically in front of your eyes, keeping your eyes focused on the tip of the pen. Do this exercise for 10 to 15 minutes daily.
Another option is to rub the palms of your hands together until they become warm, then place them over your closed eyelids for a few minutes.
