Treatments for Tired Eyes

Tired eyes are an annoyance more than anything. There are a few ways to prevent eye strain if they don’t work you may want to talk to your eye care professional. Sometimes, there is an underlying medical cause for eyestrain that requires additional treatment.

Some common practices that can reduce the effects of eyestrain are:

• Get enough sleep
• Check your lighting: a high amount of contrast will put more strain on your eyes, so whether you’re reading, watching TV, or working on the computer, make sure you have the room lit evenly, so your eyes don’t have to work as hard
• Take breaks: give yourself regular short breaks from near work tasks, whether this is using a computer or doing fine embroidery
• Ensure that your glasses or contact lens prescription is up-to-date — the prescription of the eye has natural changes over time
