Before looking for ways and means to protect the eye, it is essential to know what exactly it is that our eyes are made of and how they work, so as to be able to successfully counter-act irritants if any. Tears for instance are the first line of defense and they serve as lubrication by keeping the eyes moist and nourished and also offer a corrective function for the lens. The eyelids and lashes protect your eyes from dirt, dust and harsh light while the pupil controls the amount of light that enters your eyes. The cornea and lens use refraction to guide light to reach the retina from where electric impulses are carried to the brain and back, interpreting the vision.
The best and most effective method has been found to be to give rest to your eyes at regular intervals between work. It helps to blink, close the eyes and roll the eyeballs in different directions or even look away at something distant, off and on, since this would help re-focus and hence relax the eye muscles. Other methods as simple as splashing some water on your face or taking a walk and inhaling some fresh air can also do a lot of good to your eyes. The diet you follow also can make a world of differenceconsuming plenty of water helps keep the eyes hydrated and food stuffs rich in vitamin A and C keep the eyes healthy and hence more resistant to stress. Last of all, a visit to your ophthalmologist at least once a year for a routine check up will keep trouble away and help retain that sparkle in your eye.
