One of the best remedies for redness of eyes at home is to use a cold compress. Here’s how to do it:
Remedy: Cold Compress for Red Eyes
Instructions:
- Wash your hands thoroughly to ensure cleanliness.
- Take a clean cloth or a small washcloth and soak it in cold water.
- Squeeze out any excess water from the cloth, so it’s damp but not dripping.
- Lie down or sit comfortably, then close your eyes.
- Place the cold, damp cloth over your closed eyes and leave it there for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Relax and let the coolness soothe your eyes.
- After the time is up, remove the cloth and gently pat your eyes dry with a clean towel.
Using a cold compress helps reduce eye redness by constricting the blood vessels in the eyes, which can be caused by irritation, allergies, or fatigue. It also provides a soothing effect, relieving any discomfort or inflammation you may be experiencing.
However, if the redness persists, is accompanied by severe pain, vision changes, or discharge from the eyes, it’s crucial to seek professional medical advice as it could be a sign of an underlying eye condition or infection.
