I just came across these eye-related tips in a natural health book ... They sound worth a try.
Two or three carrots a day, raw, cooked, or in juice are supposedly excellent for relieving problems with night vision. Also, blueberries when they're in season and watercress in salads or tea are said to help restore night vision.
Cleaning your eyeglasses: to avoid streaks use a lint free cloth and a touch of vinegar or vodka.
Eye drops: Commercial eye drops and eye washes can actually harm your eyes. The preparations to "get the red out" shrink the veins that cause redness, but that masks a problem. Your eyes are red because they're irritated, so listen to them!
Remove the irritant, get more sleep, or cut back on alcohol - but don't mask the problem with a product that can cause harm.
If you need and use artificial tears, be sure to use the kind that is preservative free. The preservatives can damage your eyes.
For a safe, natural remedy for tired or irritated eyes, try a carrot wash.
Wash a bunch of carrots and cut off the tops. Place a handful of the clean carrot tops in a jar of distilled hot water. Let it stand and when cool use the carrot water as an eye wash.
Or - mix 1 drop of lemon juice n one ounce of warm distilled water and use it as an eyewash. This is said to be particularly effective when your eyes have been exposed to external irritants such as smoke, dust, and harsh lights.
