When you talk to someone you look into the eyes of that person.  If the eyes of the other person are beautiful and expressive you can't take off your eyes.  An Expression is complete when eyes are also used as a medium.  Eyes are described as lotus, as a deep lake and in so many ways by the poets.  Everyone wants their eyes should look beautiful and expressive.  But unfortunately eyes betray a person when he or she is low on physical energis or under stress.  There are simple tips to maintain the looks of the eyes and its sight.  

A simple exercise in the morning and a care at night before sleep will not take much of your time but will give amazing results.

Exercises:

Keep your neck straight without any tension in any part of the body.  Look straight without looking at anything in particular and start enriching your eye muscles- one, by moving the pupils and two, by rotating them.

Move from left to right and right to left for a minimum 10 and a maximum 20 number of times. Move from top to bottom 10 to 20 times.  Move them diagonally form top left corner to bottom right and  back for 10 to 20 times and then from top right corner to bottom left corner and backwards for the same number of times.  

Rotate clockwise for 10 to 20 times and reverse the order to anti clockwise for the same number of times.

Applications:

Beautify your eyes and make them fit to use with simple things available in the kitchen like cucumber, tomato etc.  The application removes dark circles and puffs.  

Apply cucumber juice around your eyes and wash off after 10 to 15 minutes.  A tomoto paste made with fresh tomatoes, gram flour and turmeric powder can be applied and retained for 10 to 15 minutes before washing with plain water.  Cool tea bags remove dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.  Crush mint leaves and apply around your eyes and wash after 10 to 15 minutes to get a total relaxation.  

Don'ts

Sufficient sleep is necessary to retain the fitness and beauty of the eyes.  If you try to stay awake till late nights because of a TV serial of interest or any other work, eyes get strained.  Close eye lids frequently.  Staring continuously makes the eyes sore.  Eye lids periodically close automatically but it can also be done voluntarily to retain its fitness.    

It is said ‘Sarvanganam nayanam pradhanam’ meaning eyes are more precious than any other parts of the body.  If the face of a person is like a monitor of a computer system to look at and interact, eyes in it are like a guiding factor like a cursor.
