Homemade Recipes For Dry Eye Remedies

Potatoes

Potatoes are high in nutrients such as vitamin C and carbohydrates to provide soothing relief to dry eyes. They also contain a cooling effect that provides hydration, reduces dark circles under the eyes, and alleviates discomfort. To use, grate a potato and place it on the affected eye before going to bed. Potato slices can also be used by applying them directly to the eye. Or boil a potato in a pot of water and soak a washcloth in the water. Apply the washcloth the eye.

Stay Hydrated

Dehydration may cause dry eye; therefore, it is important to drink lots of water throughout the day to stimulate proper tear production. A person’s water needs depend on their age, metabolic activities, gender, and physical condition. Be sure to hydrate before, during and after exercise to replenish lost fluids. Sipping on water throughout the day instead of coffee or other sources of caffeine is another good way to stay hydrated. Make sure the water is a good, clean source to avoid added chemicals that may cause eye irritation.
