Quick relief for tired eyes
There's a simple technique our eye specialists recommend to ease discomfort—and it takes just five minutes.
The four-step process:
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
- Dampen a clean cloth under warm (not hot) running water.
- Close your eyes and place the cloth over your eyelids for five minutes.
- Repeat as needed throughout the day.
Why this works
Eye discomfort can stem from many causes—screen time, dry air, fatigue, or simple strain. Warmth helps relax the eye muscles and encourages natural tear production, offering quick relief.
The key is using a fresh, clean cloth each time and applying the compress several times daily if needed. Consistency matters more than intensity.
When to see a specialist
If eye discomfort persists despite home care, or if you're experiencing vision changes, it's worth a consultation. Sometimes what feels like simple strain points to a refractive error that vision correction could solve.
If you've been considering laser eye surgery or exploring vision correction options, we're here to help—whether that's Flow3 or ICB lens replacement. Over 55,000 successful procedures speak for themselves, and our entire clinical team chose these methods for their own eyes.
Start with the warm compress. It's simple, effective, and costs nothing. But if you'd like to explore permanent vision solutions, we're in Tallinn and ready to talk.
