Tears are not always the reasons for sadness or happiness. Some amount of lubrication is required on the surface of your eyes, which is known as tears and they are required for keeping your eyes healthy. Sometimes, due to certain conditions, there is minimal to no tear production in your eyes. This is when you should consider treatment for a situation called dry eyes as they are not good for your health.

You may visit your nearest ophthalmologist if the problem persists for a longer period of time. But you should always try to get the condition treated at home since that will help you save you a lot on medicines and consultation fees, and secondly, the ingredients required will be easily accessible.

• Stay hydrated
  It has been told many a time to drink as much water as possible as it has an endless list of benefits associated with it. This simple activity may even cure the problem of dry eyes as it helps maintain the moisture of the mucous membranes and therefore, your eyes may not become dry.
• Blink your eyes more frequently
  Blinking eyes more frequently and taking frequent breaks from computer-related activities may help in getting moisture back into the eyes.
• Use a clean soft cloth to wash your face
  It is a very simple lifestyle change that you may do daily. Take a soft face cloth and dip it in hot or lukewarm water. Then place this cloth over your face, covering the eyes. It’s an effective way of providing moisture to your eyes.
• Use castor oil drops
  These are 100% natural and are easily available. Castor oil contains high amounts of ricinoleic acid, which is a natural lubricant and even prevents inflammation which may commonly happen when eyes are dry. Application of this oil may relieve you of any burning or itching sensation which is associated with dry eyes .
• Avoid being at places that involve a lot of air
  Make it a habit to wear sunglasses that fit snug to your eyes when traveling constantly or when being exposed to any windy air or an area where the fan movement is very high. The reason is simple—if the flow of air is high, it may easily take away the moisture of your eyes.
• Exercise daily
  You have been constantly told to spend a few minutes or hours on exercising, but often your busy schedule and laziness prevent you from engaging in any sort of fitness activity. Unfortunately, this may be a cause for dry eyes since our sedentary or lazy lifestyle limits the flow of blood and essential nutrients to your eyes. You should engage in some form of exercise on a daily basis and maintain consistency. This will help your blood circulation and there’ll be enough supply of blood and nutrients in your eyes because of which, there won’t be any dryness.
