EXPERT SUGGESTION
Dr Harshavardhan Ghorpade, Cornea, Cataract, and Refractive Surgeon, Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi-A Fortis Network Hospital, suggested some ways in which you can treat swollen eyes at home.
COLD COMPRESS
Apply a cold compress or frozen cucumber to reduce inflammation. It helps to tighten the pores of your skin and reduce puffiness.
COOL TEA BAG
Apply a cool tea bag, preferably green or black tea, to closed eyes for about 15 minutes. Tannins in tea have anti-inflammatory properties.
ALEO VERA GEL
Take out the fresh aloe vera gel and gently apply it around the eyes. Its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties can help reduce swelling and redness.
MASSAGE
Gently massage the eye area in a circular motion. This helps in the movement of fluid through the lymphatic system and reduces swelling.
