I have been wearing glasses since I was in high school. Since then, I’ve accumulated several tips from my ophthalmologist and optometrist on how to take care of my eyes and eye glasses. Below are some of them.

  • You need to exercise your eyes. During short breaks in regular work hours, and blink several times, and roll your eyeballs clockwise and counterclockwise. One minute is enough.
  • If you’re working for long hours on the computer, look away from your monitor every hour for 5-10 minutes. Looking at distant objects, preferably those in soothing green, and then returning to your task helps your eyes focus better.
  • Drink lots of water. You must be puzzled by this. According to my doctors, drinking plenty of water helps reduce puffiness because when you’re dehydrated, as a defense mechanism, your body starts storing water causing puffiness around your eyes.

There you go! ^_^

But for those looking for stylish prescription glasses, I recommend my Great Discovry:$ 8 Prescription Glasses From Zenni Optical.
