A few extra tips?
Rest the eyes. On a computer, tablet or watch TV for long periods of time? Take a break of 10 minutes for every 50 minutes on a computer, just to look around, blink and rest the eyes.
Focus. Hold a pen at arm's length, focus your eyes on it, and slowly bring the pen closer until it's about 6 inches away from your nose. Then slowly move it back, keeping your eyes focused on the pen, 10 times in all.
Roll your eyes. Start by looking up and then slowly circle 10 times clockwise and 10 times counterclockwise.
Warm your eyes. Rub your palms together to create heat, and then place them against your eyes for five seconds. Repeat this three times.
