    An old yoga trick: Rub your hands together really fast and create enough friction to make your hands really warm. Then place your hands over your eyes. The top of your hand (just below the fingers) rests on your eyebrows, and the base of your palm (the soft padded part of the bottom of your hand, should land on your cheekbones. Very relaxing, de-stressing.

      eyebright and/orchamomilecompresses...brew as for a tisane/infusion(at least one tablespoon of herb to a large cup of water.you cn placethe cloth is the water as it boils and let it coolwhen you pour water over the tea. or use teabags...

      rest your eyes with the cloth on them.

      there's also the old cucumber trick...place a thin slice over each eye. I;'d be SURE to use clean,organic cukes.

        mmm thank you. I'd have to go to a shop to get the stuff to do this. Do you think organic chamomile tea bags would work?

          might be fine, and you can drink the tea.only caveat is that chamomile is rather warming and sometimes sore eyes want to be cooled,so think about cucumbers to balance if you need...

      mmm I'll have to try this. I haven't even done any reading today, except for here, and my eyes are already starting to hurt. And it can be done at school... :P
