1. Starring at the screens. 

In the last ten years number of teenagers and young adults who use spectacles has increased four times. The reason was obvious watching computer, smart phone and TV screen. When we stare at these screens for long time without blinking our eyes the dead skin cells start accumulated near it's surface. Accumulateion of dead cells over a period of time can cause Inflammation and visual impairment. Of course many of us have job where in we have no choice but to sit in front of a computer the whole day.

Not it will relieve your eyes from the stress but also hydrate your body which is again very helpful for eyes.  

2. Rubbing the eyes. 

Human eye is a very delicate organ. People who have a habit of rubbing their eyes seriously damage the tiny blood vessels beneath it's surface. Moreover if your hands are not clean the germs in your fingertips get transfer onto the eyes surface causing irritation and redness. So if you feel itchy near the eyes surface gently calm it down.

3. Reading while travelling.

Reading or writing while travelling is not recommended in the way that your eyes will under constant strain to read because the text you are trying to read is moving or vibrating thus making it difficult to focus your eyes on text. Now these have been replaced by smart phones. Focusing on reading the tiny letters on your phone hurts your eyes which will result in blurr vision in the long runs. So avoid unnecessary chating or even reading a book when you are traveling a bumpy roads.

4. Not wearing Sunglasses. 

Sunglasses were not design just as a fashion accessories but to prevent bright sunlight and high end visible light damaging or discomforting the eyes. Long exposure to the sun UV rays leads to sun burn in cornea and premature ageing of eyes and even a cataract. So make it a habit wearing sunglasses that prevent 100% protection from UV rays.

Reading and writing in low light cause undue pressure on the eye muscle making them weak over time and if you are using a smartphone or computer at night with room light off.

These were the 5 daily bad habits which affect our eyes negatively. Now let us discuss those 5 things that reverse the damage that we might have done to our eyes.

1. Food for eyes. 

If you want your eyes to live longer it is very important to include certain foods in your diet. All green leafy vegetables are very rich in Zeaxanthin and Lutein which are two most important nutrients for eyes. Carrots rich in Vitamin A and Beta Carotene should be included in the form of salad or juice. Alma or Indian Gooseberry is very high in Vitamin C which is amazing for eyes. If amla is in season make sure to eat one raw amla on a day. Apart from these Omega 3 rich foods like walnuts should be consumed daily if you want your eyes be healthy. Moong dal is also very effective in eye problems. Other than this it should be noted that excessive salt in diet also negatively affect the eyes.

Fourth is the accupressure point between the index and middle finger press it on and off for 30 seconds. 

Walking barefoot on the grass early in the morning and even looking at natural greenery soothes thebeye muscles. 

These exercises are very simple and effective but the problem is we tend to forget doing them. So it is recommended to set an alarm for a few days.
