Ask HN: How are you taking care of you eyes?

Couple of things I am doing right now. During the day, moved to single monitor and immediately noticed less strain on the eyes and neck. During night started spending at least couple of minutes in a room(not bedroom) with out any major light source either meditating or chatting with partner, it provides major relief.

What tactics are you following and any resources which talks about practical eye health.

I used to have headaches sometimes, but that disappeared with it.

As an adult, a lot! I go each year for a test that includes a extended 3D scan of my retinas. I always have glasses that match my prescription. I have "night shift"/reduced-blue mode turned on my computer and phone almost permanently to reduce eye strain and reduce the chemical effects later in the day. I wear sunglasses whenever I feel eye strain outdoors, even if it's winter. I increase font sizes on sites where it now, post 40, feels necessary (such as HN). This all seems to be working well so far.

1. Daily eyelid hygiene - using special wipes to get the leftover from your eyelashes, to unblock Meibomian glands. It can dramatically improve how your eye is moistened. People who suffer from dry eye syndrome should at least try it.

2. Using eye drops daily - whenever I see them or I need them.

3. (Something that is specific to recurrent corneal erosion). I put some ointment/gel when I go to bed. As most of recurrent corneal erosion events happen during the night, it is crucial to be protected when you sleep.

I do eyelid lifts and eye rolls. 3 sets of 20 6 days a week with a rest day on Sunday.

You can do these while on the treadmill and doing other excercise to increase efficiency.

You can also mix in some beta carotene into your protein shake to really maximize the eye pump.
