Home remedies for eye irritation

I've had a horrible itch in my eyes all week; one of the worst discomforts I've ever experienced. I don't know if it's the pollution or the weather, but I already know several people who are feeling the same way. That's why I decided to look for home remedies to solve this problem.     Redness, itching, and sensitivity to light occur when your eyes are dry, and it's horrible because a tiny speck of dust that gets in feels like a shard of glass… how dramatic, right? But seriously, it hurts a lot! If this is your case, what you need to do is make your eye tear up. It's not difficult: gently lift the upper eyelid by grabbing it by the eyelashes and rotate your eye continuously until a tear comes out and cleans the eye; if it doesn't work, buy sterilized eye drops. Now, to relieve the itching, you should: soak a cloth in cold water and place it over your closed eyes for as long as necessary. Another option is to soak tea bags in cold water and place them over your closed eyes for 15 minutes. Any kind of tea works; what helps is the moisture, not what's in the tea bag. And to prevent this, you should: 1. Sleep more: Lack of sleep dries out the eyes and makes them red because the blood vessels are inflamed. 2. Eat bananas every day: They are rich in potassium and help balance sodium and release fluids from the cells. So now you know what to do if you're going through the same thing as I am, with irritated eyes all day.   View original article.   Article courtesy of     Banana Recipes to Prevent Eye Irritation   Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips Banana and Blueberry Cupcakes Strawberry and Banana Smoothie Banana Pancakes And you, how do you relieve eye irritation?
