Vitamins A, B and C are very essential for healthy eyes. Milk, butter, cod liver oil, egg yolk, yellow and orange coloured vegetables such as pumpkin, carrot, tomato, mango, papaya, melon as well as green leafy vegetables such as celery, parsley, spinach etc contain large amounts of vitamin A. Also, 8 to 10 hours of sleep is a must for healthy and bright eyes.
To avoid eye strain:

• Make sure the place is well lit while working
• Do not step out in the sun without wearing sunglasses.
• Use face wash instead of soap because soap tends to darken the skin on the eyelids.
• Do not read continuously in moving vehicles.
• Make sure you blink your eyes as frequently as possible. Blinking provides lubrication and relief from light.
• Do not rub the eyes too hard.
• To give momentary relief to the eyes, close the eyes with your palms so that no light can enter. Now open the eyes in the palm cup and stare into this darkness for a minute.

Exercises for eyes:
Lift the eyes to the ceiling and then to the floor. Repeat it for 10 times. Rest the eyes either by blinking rapidly or rubbing your palms together and covering your eyes with them. Do not press the eyes. Palming reduces strain and gives relaxation to eyes.

Look straight ahead at eye level, then slowly to left side at eye level and then to right side at eye level. Repeat it for 3 or 4 times.

Make a circle, first clockwise and then anti-clockwise, with the eyes. Repeat for 5 times.

For eye care
Splash your eyes with cold water. Apply cotton wool pads, soaked in warm milk, witch hazel, weak tea solution or rose water on the eyes. Press gently and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.
Care for Eyebrows and Eyelashes:

Use a small brush to brush your eyebrows and eyelashes.

To encourage hair growth, rub eyebrows and eyelashes with olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil.

For cleansing and nourishment of eyebrows, rub them with a little egg white and rinse it off after 10 minutes.

For eye makeup choose the correct colours and shades to complement your personality. The choice of the eyeliner and mascara should be compatible with the natural eyelash colour. A right touch and right colour is needed for beautiful, attractive eyes.
