EYE CARE TIPS

• Do Not Overlook Your Eyelids
  You may want to be extra diligent about sunscreen, as skin cancer, the most common type of malignancy, can develop on any area of the skin exposed to the sun - including the eyelids.
  
  
• Reduce Eye Strain
  Here’s a good tip for reducing computer eyestrain: make your default background color slightly darker, without overdoing it. This reduces the harsh glare of most applications, at the expense of a small amount of contrast. Most people I know that have tried this say it makes a big difference, especially if they use their screen for long periods.
  
  
• Rest your eyes
  A nice cold washcloth, or a soothing, camomile- or lavender-filled eye pillow-or even closing your eyes for 10 minutes!-does wonders for sore eyes after a long day's work.
