Most of us who work on computers sooner or later land up with eyestrain and other eye related disorders. Here is a list of things you can do to keep that invaluable pair of organs safe, healthy and beautiful:

>>u00a0If you are exposed to excessive work on computers, it is mandatory for you to splash your eyes with water every couple of hours. Getting up to do this also ensures that you move about a bit.

>>u00a0Get yourself a pair of anti-glare glasses. They are best to protect your eyes from the constant glare of the screen.

>>u00a0Do Trataka. It cures several eye diseases and removes lethargy. Sit on a rug or your yoga mat in the squatting position. In yoga, this is called Sukhasana. Keep the waist, back, neck and the entire spinal column erect. Be relaxed and breathe normally.

Make a sign on a piece of paper like a cross or a circle. Hang it on a wall in front of you at the level of your eyes at a distance of about 2 meters from you. Now, fix your sight upon the sign or image without closing your eyes. Concentrate only on the sign or image.

Continue to gaze, non-stop till your eyes start watering or feel the strain. Once this happens, close your eyes, and imagine that symbol to be in the eyebrow center and concentrate upon that sign.

>> Include leafy vegetables like spinach and also carrots in your diet. They are a rich source of Vitamin A that is necessary for keeping the eyes healthy. If you are a non-vegetarian, liver and eggs will work wonders for your eyes.

>>u00a0Vitamin E has been associated with the prevention of cataracts. The best sources of Vitamin E are nuts, green leafy vegetables, and fortified products such as cereal.
