In today’s tech world people spend a lot of time sitting before computers and laptops; this is 100% 
true in the case of software engineers, computer geeks, internet addicts, and online gamers. Those people who involve in these activities do face several eye related problems at some stage of their life and this is because they don’t care or think about their eyes. And for those people who are really interested to overcome these problems, I hope my tips on how to take care of eyes will certainly come in handy.
1. Eye exercises: this is one of the best tips in eye care where you should try to create 
some short breaks from your regular work and in those breaks try to do follow this exercise which is very simple and easy – “ blink your eyes first for several times and after that keep your eyes closed and just roll your eyes clockwise and anticlockwise and in between this process take several deep breaths and breathe out slowly and open your eyes” do this exercise for about 1 minute and repeat it for 2 – 3 times before going to work.
2. Look distant objects: if you are spending long hours, look at distant objects in your work place or outside. This method of looking at distant object and returning to normal near vision helps the eyes to focus better. Try to do
this for about 5min every 1 hour.
3. Follow the palming method: in this method rub your hands against each other till you get them warm and with this you cup your eyes for about 1 minute. This helps to relax and soothe your tired eyes. There are two advantages of this method where your eyes get relaxed and elbows get exercised.
4. Have a walk: in between the breaks you take a walk, which helps in relaxing 
your body as well as your eyes with good blood supply.
5. Water magic: you can use water for several ways: a) You can splash water on your face which helps you feel refreshed and relaxed. b) Drink more water which helps in reducing puffiness of your eyes.
6. Take healthy food: eat fruits especially citrus, tomatoes, spinach, green vegetables and dairy products which contain vitamins like A, C and E.
a) Visit physician: visit the eye specialist, at least once in a year and if you have any problems related to eye then immediately visit him.
b) Reduce intake of alcohol and smoking: nicotine and alcohol 
contain several toxins which affect the optic nerve in the long run so avoid taking alcohol and cigarette.
c) Please don’t rub your eyes: never rub your eyes when any dust particle enters your eyes rather just blink your eyes so that the tears which are produced clear off the dust material. Rubbing of eyes will irritate and sometimes damage eyes, further if you any problem in removing the dust particle immediately consult the doctor.
d) Better use anti glare glasses: these glasses are used to focus on any object. These glasses can be used while working with the computers as suggested by some physicians.
