Vitamin B2 is also essential for healthy eyes. Wash and clean the eyes by squeezing the rind of the orange or lime or by crushing an onion close to the eyes. A few drops of castor oil can be put in the eyes daily and also massage of the scalp with this oil will be beneficial. The skin around the eyes is half the thickness of that on the rest of the face and is therefore even more prone to signs of water and tear. To minimise damage, make sure you remove eye make up at the end of the day with a specialist product that won't drag the skin.
Adequate sleep is essential to rest the eyes.
Lack of sleep may result in puffiness, bloodshot look and dark circles under the eyes. Average daily sleep of eight hours is recommended. Eyes should also be protected from prolonged exposure to strong sunlight and use of sun glasses is recommended. It can be the result of an allergic reaction to a product, which attracts the bacteria that cause an infection. The only quick cure is a course of antibiotics.
