Aching Eyes - Eye Care Tips, Tricks and Advice

Eye pain is often described as burning, sharp, dull, gritty, a feeling of "something in my eye," aching, throbbing, or stabbing. Sometimes eye pain is confused with symptoms, such as a headache or sinus pain.

Eye pain is a common reason for people to seek medical care from their doctor (or an ophthalmologist, a specialist who deals only with eyes).

Home Remedies

•    Mix one part of rose water and one part of lime juice. Store in a bottle and use it as an eye drop. 

•    Powder equal quantities of liquorice and cumin (jeera). Take ¼ teaspoon every day along with 1 teaspoon honey for a month. 

•    Using drops of eyebright herb are also beneficial for the eye conditions. 

Prevention

•    If you view computer monitors or television screens for long periods at a time, take breaks regularly to alleviate the strain on your eyes.

•    Strive to avoid regular use of contact lenses.

•    Contact lens users: Use a lubricant eye drop such as Soothe prior to inserting your lenses and then again after they are removed.
