Consume More Omega-3s
Make sure your diet has a sufficient amount of omega-3 fatty acids. [4] These lipids are essential for decreasing inflammation and moisturizing your eyes. Omega-3s can be found in fatty fish, flaxseed, chia seeds, and walnuts, among other foods.
Cucumber Slices
Cucumber slices are a traditional treatment for eye irritation and inflammation because they are rich in calming antioxidants. Two cucumber slices should be cut into slices and chilled in ice water for ten minutes. After that, lay back for ten minutes with the chilled cucumber slices on your closed eyes.
Keep Your Hands Sanitized
Before using eye drops or ointments on your eyes, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and warm water. Before and after cleaning any discharge from your eyes, make sure they are clean as well.
Be gentle when wiping your eyes. Apply a clean, damp cloth or brand-new cotton ball to the area around your eyes and gently wipe away any discharge several times per day. Throw away the used cotton ball that contains pus or mucus, and after using it, wash your clothes in hot water with detergent to sanitize them.
