Relax your eyes.

• Since eye fatigue means your eyes are tired, a quick and easy way to help alleviate the symptoms of eye fatigue is to relax your eyes. Start by closing your eyes. This causes the natural tear film of your eye to spread evenly across your eye, helping to lubricate them quickly. This will also help rest your vision as well, which will help with any strain your eyes feel.

• Leave your eyes closed for at least five to 10 minutes. Try not to move your eyes around too much under your eyelids so the muscles in your eyes are also resting.

• If you have a hard time keeping your eyes closed, try gently placing your hands over them while you relax them. This can help force your to keep your eyes closed and relax them.

Try palming.

• Palming is a simple technique to help relax your eyes. Start by sitting comfortably and straight up in a chair. Put your elbows on a table to help keep them level. Rub your palms together to warm them, close your eyes, and cup each hand over your eyes. Leave your hands there for five to 10 minutes.

• Make sure you aren’t pressing on your eyes too hard. You want it to be relaxing for your eyes.

• If your eyes are still tired, redo this exercise for an additional five minutes until they feel relaxed.

Change your lighting.

• Turn off any harsh lights, extra lights, or fluorescent light bulbs. These can make your eyes work harder to adjust and long exposure to bright light will overstimulate your eyes and body. This can lead to irritability and overall fatigue. Create a comfortable lighting environment by changing your bulbs to soft/warm varieties. Use dimmer switches to adjust the level of lighting, which can then be personalized by everyone in your household.

• Natural lighting can cause a glare on the computer monitor, increasing eyestrain. Be sure to use an anti-reflective screen to reduce glare.

Adjust your monitor's glare, brightness, and contrast.

• If you work or study for long periods of time in front of a computer monitor or screen, make sure the monitor is not too close to your eyes. Adjust the settings for brightness and contrast until you're comfortably viewing the screen. Some websites offer tools to help you make these adjustments. The brightest light should be at the sides of the monitor. Any harsh light should form a 90° with your monitor to lessen the bright light hitting your eyes.

• Reduce glare on your screen by closing blinds

Adjust the color on your monitor (color temperature).

• The color should be appropriate for your environment's lighting. Avoid bluish light, which can cause eye fatigue because your eye is constantly adjusting to match it. Instead, make sure the lighting in your room is similar to that of your monitor. Choose soft lights with limited natural light.

• You should also adjust any flickering caused by a monitor's backlight. Your eye must constantly adjust to the flickering, leading to eye strain. If you can't fix the flickering, replace the monitor to solve your eye strain.

Strengthen your eyelids.

• You can actually strengthen the muscles surrounding your eyes, just as you can other muscles in your body. Strengthen your eyelids after working on the computer or as breaks between work. Close your eyes halfway down, paying attention to the constant trembling of your upper lids. This is a normal reaction from your eyes when you're not blinking. Concentrate your efforts on stopping this trembling for about 5 seconds.

• Lowering your eyelids halfway and focusing on stopping the trembling will make you squint, which can actually relieve eyestrain. Squinting temporarily reduces your pupil size and helps bend light easier so you can see better.

• Avoid squinting constantly, which can lead to headaches and more eyestrain.

Relax and breathe.

• Once your eyelids are halfway lowered, slowly close them the rest of the way and relax your eyelids. Take a few breaths as you do this to increase the oxygen in your blood, as well as increase your overall circulation.

• When you inhale, imagine the breezy oxygenated air coming through your nose into the eyes.

• Exhale through your mouth. Repeat this for one to two minutes.

• The purpose of this exercise is to relax your eyes and strengthen the lids.

Practice focusing exercises (accommodation and convergence).

• Try focusing on objects at different distances, to get some relief from eyestrain. Take small breaks to focus your eyes and remind yourself to blink, which will hydrate the eyes. Practice focusing by holding a pen at arm's length. Focus on the tip of the pen while slowly bring the pen closer to your nose at a steady pace.

• Do about 5 to 10 repetitions and mix it up by focusing on things that are far away as well as close.

• This lets your eyes relax from any previous strain.

• Focusing improves your vision, puts less strain on the eyes, and may help a twitch caused by a tired eye. When eyes have better visual acuity or are able to see with ease, less strain is put on the eyes, so eyes have less trouble adapting to typical focusing issues.

Use a focusing exercise.

• Another way to help relax eye fatigue is by changing the focus of your eyes. Start by looking at the tip of your nose. Next, change the focus of your eyes and look at a far off object, which should be about 20 feet away. After you focus on that object for a few seconds, look back at the tip of your nose. Repeat 10 times with that object.

• Do many repetitions of this in a row. Change up your focal point each time, choosing different objects at several different distances to focus on.

Do lateral and medial stretches.

• Another way to help ease eye fatigue is to exercise specific muscles in your eyes. Looking to the right works your lateral rectus of your right eye and the medial rectus of your left eye. To exercise these, sit in a relaxed position, but keep your back straight. Look to the most left position first. Hold for five counts. Next, move your gaze to the most right position and hold each for five counts.

• Repeat this exercise three times on each side. Blink a few times in between to keep your eyes lubricated. Repeat four times a week.

• Try to work up to ten repetitions each day you do this.

Understand how tears moisturize your eyes.

• A major cause of eye strain are dry eyes. Tears are made up of 3 layers: oil/lipid (fat), water, and mucus layers. A problem with any of these layers can cause dry eyes. Once you understand what each layer does, you can narrow down potential problems that are causing your dry eyes. For example, a tear with not enough proteins to fight off bacteria can be dry due to irritation from chronic infections. The parts of the tear have the following functions:

• Mucous layer: This lowest layer is the base of the tear which gives stability, helping it stick to the eye. This layer keeps tears in your eyes, so they don't spill out.

• Water layer: This middle layer gives needed electrolytes to tears to keep them strong. It contains bacteria-fighting enzymes and proteins. The watery nature of this layer allows tears to quickly cover the eye.

• Oil/lipid (fat) layer: This outer layer seals the tear layers and covers the entire eye with enough tear film to protect the eye.

Use an over-the-counter (OTC) artificial tears product.

• If your eyes feel dry after reading, knitting or staring at the computer for a particularly long time, use an artificial tear product. Since several brands are available, try a few to see which ones your eyes respond to best. You may need to combine more than one brand for relief. Realize that artificial tears aren't substitutes for natural tears; they simply relieve dryness by replacing the outer tear film layer. If you have chronic dry eyes, you'll need to keep using artificial tears even if your eyes are symptom free. Some things to look for include:

• Lubricating ingredients called hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), glycerin, or polysorbate. These mimic tears because they have a similar surface tension which lets drops stick to the surface of the eye.

• Preservative free drops which can reduce the risk of allergy or sensitivity of already dry eyes.

• Eye ointments which are useful lubricants during long periods when you can't use artificial tears. OTC eye drops, like Systane, can be used four to six times a day or as needed.

Try medicated drops.

• Your eye doctor can prescribe medicated drops after examining the cause of your dry eyes.These medications are substitutes for tears. These medications, like Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and Carboxy Methylcellulose, consist of an artificial tear and other substances to lubricate the eyes. These drops relieve the symptoms. But, you'll need to reapply them frequently, four to si times daily or as needed. If you're prescribed a gel, you'll need to apply it once or twice a day.

• Always follow your doctor's recommendations about dosage.

• If you wear contacts, take them out before applying the drops. Reinsert your contacts 30 minutes after using the drops.

Get an ointment.

• Ointments are usually used to lubricate the eyes, but several types exist. Antibiotic ointment can be used to treat chlamydia conjunctivitis, dry eyes caused by diseases of the glands that make the lipid layer of tear film, or swelling from inflamed lids. Ointments are often used to lubricate the eyes during long periods of time when artificial tears can't be applied (like while you're sleeping).

• Common over the counter eye ointments are also available. You may need to try several before finding an ointment that effectively relieves your symptoms.

Follow the 20-20-20 Rule:

• Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. Giving your eyes short muscle breaks like this can postpone—or even stave off—eye fatigue and strain.

Eat foods for your eyes.

• Current medical research shows that the vitamins play a role in eye health. Excessive use of the eyes means you need more vitamins and minerals. If you have eye fatigue, try to balance your diet with more foods that will help your eyes. Eat more coarse grains, cereals, green vegetables, carrots, squash and other gourds, potatoes, beans, and fruit. These foods are high in vitamins, protein, and cellulose, which help strengthen the eyes. Eat more foods with vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene

• These include:

• Foods high is vitamin C, such as broccoli, cantaloupe, cauliflower, guava, bell peppers, grapes, oranges, berries, lychees, and squash

• Foods high is vitamin E, such as almonds, sunflower seeds, wheat germ, spinach, peanut butter, collard greens, avocados, mango, hazelnuts, and Swiss chard

• More sources of vitamin B, such as wild salmon, skinless turkey, bananas, potatoes, lentils, halibut, tuna, cod, soy milk, and cheese

• Foods high in lutein and zeaxanthin, such as leafy green vegetables.

Drink more water.

• Keeping your body hydrated can help keep your eyes moisturized as well. Drink 10 to 15 cups of water every day, which can help relieve dry eyes by increasing blood circulation to them. It can also help eliminate toxins from the lymph fluid in the eyes.
Increasing fluid intake can also provide your body with the moisture it needs to increase tear production.
