Your eyes are the
windows to your soul. And healthy, sparkling eyes are the sign of a well-adjusted,
happy, human being. Not need to say that this is a very attractive quality as
well as a sign of true beauty.
Now how does one go about achieving this it's quite simple really.
One must try to remain calm and relaxed in the most adverse circumstances. Life
does not always go the way we want, but always works out best in the long run.
If we are accepting and content with our lot then our path automatically
smoothens out. But this is the way to true inner beauty.
The easiest way is
through make-up. You can always emphasize or intensify the shape and color of
your eyes with the help of a kohl pencil, eyeliners and eye shadows. But the
best way to maintain that inner sparkle is to take care of your health. Avoid
long hours and do not over strain your eyes.
How Should We Avoid
Eye-Strain
One of the most common causes of eyestrain is inadequate lighting
while reading or even doing housework, like cleaning, mending or sewing. This
causes a weary, dull feeling that can simply be avoided by proper lighting.
Another common fault is the angle at which you tend to hold a
paper or book while reading. People generally tend to hold it too close to
their eyes and strain them in the process. The correct method is to hold the
book about ten inches away from your face. i.e. neither too close nor too far.
The same goes for watching television or when using the computer.
Lastly, if none of the
above tips seem to help, then you must consult an optician to check your
number. Do not worry as you can go in for contact lenses. In any case, nowadays
spectacles have become a wonderful accessory. If you already have spectacles,
then make sure you get your eyes tested every two years or so in order to keep
a check on your number.
