How to Maintain Clear White Eyes

 The eye are the windows to your soul, they are also a good indication of how healthy and rested you are. When the whites (the sclera) of the eye are bright and clear, you look younger, more alert and overall more well taken care of. White eyes are healthy eyes. Red, itchy eyes result when you are not getting enough sleep, fluids or have a lifestyle that is causing eye strain. Maintaining clear, white eyes is fairly simple, if you are prepared to take care of yourself consistently.

Baby your eyes whenever possible. Use cold cucumber slices or a cool pack on your closed eyelids to help constrict the blood vessels in the area and reduce redness.

Wear your sunglasses when outside all year round. The sun and wind can cause dryness and irritation. Make sure the lenses have proper UVB protection.

 

When reading or working at a computer screen, give your eyes a rest every half hour or so in order to reduce eye strain and dryness. Keep lubricating eye drops on hand and use them when your eyes begin to feel itchy.

Drink LOTS of water. I once took 3.5-4 liters of water throughout the day and woke up the next morning with clear, shiny eyes. Too bad I’m usually lazy in filling up my glass with drinks. - See more at: http://ecobeautysecrets.com/2012/02/how-to-have-clear-sparkly-eyes-naturally/#sthash.oJxo5vkn.dpuf

Maintain a balanced lifestyle, stay hydrated and get enough sleep. Eating foods rich in Vitamins C, A, E, beta carotene and zinc are beneficial for optimum eye health.

Take enough Vit A and Vit C. I’m sure you usually read about how Vit A is good for your eyes but Vit C is as important, too. Vit C helps prevent the build up of foreign particles on your eye that cause blurriness, irritation, floaters and cataracts. You can take supplements to boost up your Vit A & C levels. But nothing beats natural, healthy food. Examples of foods rich in Vit A are carrots, sweet potato, butternut squash and green leafy veggies like spinach and kale. While some foods rich in Vit C are guava, bell pepper, citrus fruits and papaya. - See more at: http://ecobeautysecrets.com/2012/02/how-to-have-clear-sparkly-eyes-naturally/#sthash.oJxo5vkn.dpuf

Although redness relieving eye drops are a great "quick fix" on occasion, they are not recommended for long time use as you will gradually become immune to the effects. Make sure that any lubricating drops you keep on hand for regular use are for lubricating only.

Do not use red out drops on a regular basis--these can actually make the redness much worse. I recommend wearing sunglasses with maximum UV protection, make sure you are getting enough sleep, avoid dusty/smoky environments, and use an artificial tear drop up to 4x per day. Cold artificial tears can temporarily constrict blood vessels and make your eyes appear whiter. 

 

The entire white of both eyes being yellow is a sign of jaundice due to liver function abnormalities. The most common cause of this a a hereditary absence of a liver enzyme causing mild elevation of the serum bilirubin. Other causes include hepatitis. You should be checked.
