Cold Compress

Apply a cold compress or chilled eye mask to your closed eyes for 5-10 minutes. This can reduce eye strain and soothe irritation.

20-20-20 Rule

Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This helps relax the eye muscles and reduce fatigue.

Artificial Tears

Use lubricating eye drops to keep your eyes moist. This helps alleviate dryness and irritation caused by prolonged screen use.

Aloe Vera Gel

Apply a small amount of refrigerated aloe vera gel around your eyes (avoid direct contact with eyes). Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can provide a cooling and soothing sensation.

Tea Bags

Place used, chilled green or black tea bags over your closed eyes for 10-15 minutes. The tannins in tea can reduce inflammation and soothe tired eyes.
