10 Proven Ways To Quickly Get Rid Of Watery Eyes

4. Wash Your Eyes

The old adage of regular hand washing to keep bugs away applies to the eyes. It is easy for dust and other tiny foreign bodies to get trapped in the eyes and cause pain, redness, and irritation. Tears help rid the eyes of particles, but eyes should be kept clean to reduce the risk of any surrounding crusting bits or trapped particles from getting in. Harsh soaps should not be used. Eyes can be rinsed easily with only a splash of warm water and gently wiped with a soft cloth.

3. Eye Wash Solution

Any sign of dust or an eyelash trapped in the eye can be washed out using a sterile eye wash solution. Fill the accompanying eye cup halfway with the solution and, while bending forward, press the cup around the eye, then rise and tilt the head backward slightly. Blink a few times to make sure the eye has been cleared of debris. Wipe the eye dry and follow with a medicated eye drop for further protection and cleansing.
