Gritty, tired, strained eyes at the end of a long day — the kind that make you want to close them and not open them again — are increasingly common in our screen-filled lives.
If you want gentler support for tired, strained eyes, here are the natural alternatives people reach for.
Why eyes get tired and strained
Long focus, screens and dryness leave the eyes fatigued and irritated.
- Prolonged focus, hours of close work tiring the eye muscles.
- Screen strain, less blinking leaving eyes dry and gritty.
- Dry environments, heating and air-con drying the eyes.
The short version: tired eyes come from prolonged focus and dryness, and gentle support helps refresh them.
