Diwali celebrations often expose our eyes to smoke, dust, and pollution, leading to dryness, redness, and irritation. The following mindful practices can help restore eye health, soothe discomfort, and maintain visual clarity.
1. Hydration and Nutrition
Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and reduce dryness.
Include vitamin-rich, hydrating foods: oranges, cucumbers, spinach, carrots, and almonds.
Herbal infusions like chamomile tea can promote eye health and improve sleep quality.
2. Lubricating Eye Drops
Use preservative-free lubricating drops for dryness, grittiness, or irritation.
Provides instant relief from dust, smoke, and pollution-related discomfort.
Consult a doctor before use; avoid relying solely on over-the-counter drops.
3. Cold Compress Remedy
Soak a clean cotton cloth in cold rose water.
Place over closed eyes for 10–15 minutes, twice daily.
Reduces redness, inflammation, and burning while refreshing and detoxifying the eyes.
4. Screen Time Detox
Limit screen exposure after festive fatigue.
Take frequent breaks using the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
Reduce screen brightness and use anti-glare filters to ease eye strain.
5. Netra Tarpan Therapy
An Ayurvedic eye rejuvenation therapy using medicated ghee.
Nourishes optic tissues, strengthens eyes, and naturally improves vision.
Helps counteract pollution-related damage.
6. Protective Measures
Wear sunglasses outdoors to shield your eyes from dust and UV rays.
Avoid rubbing eyes; instead, use a cool, damp cloth in the evening to relax ocular muscles.
Important: Persistent redness, irritation, or blurred vision for more than two days warrants consultation with an eye specialist to rule out underlying issues.
With these simple practices, your eyes can recover quickly, stay healthy, and maintain clarity well beyond the festival season.
