1.    Dry & Red Eyes

The film of tears covering the eye dries due to age, stare at a computer, or ascend into high altitudes. Use artificial tears, not red-eye removers. When the medication wears off, the eyes rebound and become even redder than they were before. It does nothing but hook you on the drug. Try Natural Tears formula by Murine instead.

2.    Shoddy Eyesight

Stress or fatigue can disrupt the way the muscles in your eyes focus the lenses. Exercise to maintain eye health. Shift focus between your fingertip and something across the room five to 10 times. This helps maintain flexibility of the muscle tissues that encircle your lenses and control your range of focus.
Look at a point straight ahead and, without moving your eyes, be conscious of as much peripheral information as possible. This maximizes the visual information your brain can take in.

3.    Slow Reflexes

Your brain not your eye may be slacking. Write inch-high numbers on tennis balls. Ask a buddy to toss them at varying speeds and distances as you quickly try to read the numbers. This trains the brain to work with the seeing aspect of vision. It’s like teaching the fingers to play piano.

4.    Double Vision

Beer-goggled, but without the hooch? Tired eyes can point in slightly different directions and create a blurred or double image. Pencil pushups. Hold a pencil vertically in front of you and focus on the writing on the side. Concentrate on keeping the words in focus as you slowly bring the pencil closer to your eyes. This exercise is used with nearsighted patients to keep the eye pointing correctly, says Dr. Daum. Do 10 reps once a day for 2 to 3 weeks.

5.    Sty in Eyes

Eyelids have tiny glands that secrete moistening liquid. If clogged, a gland creates a painful buildup and, eventually, a sty. Lid hygiene is important. If someone gets a lot of sties, it’s very helpful to keep the eyelids clean. Clean gingerly using a warm washcloth and baby shampoo. This loosens the debris around the eye and the glands near the lashes to keep the glands from backing up.

6.    Scratched Eyes

A Wolverine wannabe was guarding you. When you damage the cornea, bacteria on your eyelid turn on you. Wait 10 to 15 minutes with your eyes closed. The eye is resilient. If the pain, redness, or blurry vision doesn’t subside, this could signal serious damage—and a doctor visit.
