We do not always pay attention to such unpleasant symptoms as redness of the mucous membrane, a feeling of "sand in the eyes", painful sensations in the region of the eyebrows.

Straighten up, keeping your head straight, move your eyes to the right and left, then from top to bottom. Repeat 5 times.
Palming (according to the Bates method)
The basic principle of palming is a simple action that many of us intuitively perform when we are tired. We put our elbows on the table and cover our eyes with our palms. So we darken the eyes for a while. In order for the relaxation to be complete and the blood circulation correct, it is necessary to monitor the correct posture. The back of the head, neck and upper back should be in a straight line.
Sit up straight with your elbows on the table and cover your eyes with your palms. Think good things. The darkening should be absolute, before the eyes total darkness. After a while, look into the gaps between your fingers and only then remove your palms completely.
The Bates method or palming promotes rapid relaxation and rest of the eyes with minimal effort on your part.
Diet to improve vision
In early childhood, mothers and grandmothers persistently forced us to eat carrots and blueberries, “so that our eyes could see better,” we say the same to our growing children. But at the same time we forget about ourselves. But blueberries and carrots contain substances and vitamins necessary for our eyesight. Therefore, you need to more often use these fresh products, juices and pies from them.
Training glasses
Opinion is divided over the use of perforated eye trainers. Many consider them completely useless for the treatment of eye diseases, others consider them a salvation. As always, you need to choose a middle ground. Training glasses can be used to relieve eye fatigue. For example, if there is still a lot of work at the computer, and you can no longer do it. Turn on enough lights and wear glasses, they will help.
The principle of operation of such glasses is based on the formation of parallel beams of light with narrow holes in them, which do not cause tension in the eye muscles. The image on the retina is thus much sharper. As a result of the alternation of the correct load and unloading, the eyes rest, the unpleasant symptoms gradually disappear.
Goggles cost money, and gymnastics for the eyes and palming can be done without any financial costs, the main thing is not to be lazy and do not forget about it. Protect your eyesight.
