It's no surprise modern life often leaves our eyes tired and overworked. Whether you're staring at a big screen all day, or relaxing in front of a smaller screen, we expect a lot from our eyes. Fortunately, there's an easy trick that might help you out next time you notice your eyes are struggling. It comes courtesy of Ski Vertigo, who know the importance of keeping your vision sharp, whether you're navigating the slopes or looking at a screen.
The simple trick only takes ten seconds, and it's said to help relax strained eye muscles, reduce tension caused by prolonged screen exposure, and improve circulation around the eyes, promoting better nutrient delivery. According to health and wellness experts from Ski Vertigo: "Incorporating the 10-second palming technique into your daily routine is a simple yet powerful way to combat eye strain and support long-term vision health.
"Pairing this with habits like the 20-20-20 rule—taking a 20-second break to focus on something 20 feet away every 20 minutes—and staying hydrated can help reduce dependence on glasses and improve overall eye comfort. "These small, practical steps not only save money on potential treatments but also enhance your quality of life by keeping your vision sharp and your eyes refreshed.".
Additionally, you can help to look after your eye health by staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet. Vitamin A, Zinc and Omega 3 DHA are all beneficial for eye health, according to Boots Opticians.
