• Avoid wearing contact lenses for an excessive period of time.
• Avoid rubbing the eyes. Find the cause of eye irritation and treat accordingly.
• Make sure to intake enough fluids. Dehydration often contributes to dryness and discomfort of the eyes.
• Perform the following eye exercises:
  - In a quiet, relaxed environment, clear the mind and slowly look around in a circle with the eyes only, reversing the direction each time. This allows a person to exercise
  the muscles of the eyes in a healthy way.
  - Look far away: go outside into a natural clean environment and look as far away as possible. Relax the eyes, focus on one direction for 25 seconds at a time, and then
  focus on something that is close by. Repeat 20 times, three times a day. This allows the muscles and lens of the eyes to maintain their elasticity, and prevents premature changes in vision.

Take 3 to 4 capsules three times daily. Dosage can be increased up to 6 to 8 capsules three times daily in severe cases. Serve with a pinch of salt and warm water.
