Do you have red, stinging eyes? If so then you may have dry eyes. I sometimes experience this when I spend more than 24 hours straight infront of the computer. Even at 12 hrs, my eyes gave me that “warning” for a need of rest.

What causes red, stinging eyes? Dr. Robert Latkany, author of The Dry Eye Remedy says that red stinging eyes can be caused by everything – from contacts to rosacea which can lead to impaired vision and eye infection.

To free your eyes from the pain, he gave this simple tips:

– Eat fish. In a study, women who ate tuna two or more times a week had decreased symptoms. Fish oil supplements also helps.

At home, we don’t usually buy tuna fish because not everyone can eat. My mom does not eat tuna since her heart ailment. But we everyone takes fish oil supplements like Squalene.

– Rest your eyes at TV commercials. Blinking produces tears, but when you stare at the screen, you blink less.

This holds true too for pc users. I should give my eyes a rest from the pc screen.

– Give up contact lens until your doctor says it’s ok.

– Get enough sleep. As you sleep, your eyes is replenished. Skimping cheats your eyes of the process.

Hmmm am really guilty of this because I spend more than 12 hrs in a day infront of the computer. I don’t go to sleep until my brain screams at me that I should get sleep because the next day is already working day.

OH well, I need to follow these advises. I hope all of you who reads this will also be helped.
