Eyebright and lutein supplements. Don't ever use eyedrops

because long term use can cause dry eyes, permanent red
veiny eyes and the most horrifying side effect of eyedrops is
eye floaters. This is from my experience.

There's some evidence Vitamin D can help.. here's one study

that concludes:

"vitamin D supplementation promoted tear secretion,

reduced tear instability, and reduced inflammation at the
ocular surface and eyelid margin. Furthermore, vitamin D
supplementation improved the symptoms of DES."

Either ‘liquid tears’ you buy in a tube or a hot cloth over your
eyes for 5mins. Sleep and rest (away from screen) are the
obvious ones. If you have serious red eyes you may have a
bacteria living in your eyes that can flare up in an infection.
For this you can use specially designed anti-bacterial wipes
to treat/relive.

you must remember to rest and do the opposite of stare,
meaning, look to the side gently, then the other side, or so
my dr friend said. Also, reduce the light (I go down to half
and even full red as well.) Or wear those glasses. You don't
need it full bright ever, imo. Splash face with water and wash
eyes out if necessary. Do not stare nonstop at the screen.

addition to helping with dry eyes, like improved memory

It works in grams? Maybe this is why I thought it doesn’t
work, must only be an entourage effect when combined

Lutein/fish oil and putting cold water on your eyes.

7 Share 

jellytin8 · 2 yr. ago

Some opthalmologists actually recommend a warm

compress (sounds counter intuitive, I know). I love the
feeling of cold, but the warm temp can release oil plugs
that are blocking the tear ducts (and therefore better
allow them to lubricate the eye).

Blue light blocking does not effect eye strain or fatigue at

all.

There is one study that claims that blue light harms your
eyes, and it's bullshit. Go read it.

It only affects sleep, and you can just turn on night mode

Fish oil. Maqui powder has been shown to relieve dry eyes in
studies. If you’re getting to the point of discomfort, eye
drops will not make your eyes “dependent” as long as you
get appropriate drops for dry eye. Refresh advanced
preservative free are good drops. You can also wipe hexane
free organic castor oil over your eyelids before bed...sounds
crazy, but castor oil is good for your eyes and is an
ingredient in Restasis...just look into it.

Experience High-dose loose leaf green tea has literally

changed my life. Best "nootropic" I've come across. Why is
it this effective???
I'm not exaggerating when I say that this changed my life.

I used to always have difficulty with paying attention and studying, I've
always considered myself sort of dumb when it came to mathematics and
"logic" (i.e software engineering).

I had times when I'd be on coffee, and times when I'd be off of it.

Coffee definitely helped but not much. It gave me energy but didn't
necessarily let me think more clearly or anything. It just kept me awake.

I tried coffee with L-Theanine and it...just made me feel a little more tired?
It got rid of the caffeine "edge" but I wouldn't say it made a difference in
my cognitive ability

Green tea changed my mental health

Not much else to say, I just wanted to share this. For those who are
suffering from depression, anxiety, OCD or chronic stress.. I have never
found anything that calms my mind and makes me feel more at peace than
green tea. I had never tried it until recently and it’s truly the best thing
ever.

ExperienceRealized I don't get iodine from anywhere, so I

started to eat foods with iodine. Reporting my results.
As funny as it sounds, I stumbled upon a 4chan thread called the "Iodine
pill". I googled what iodine is in my native language and started googling
around. Quickly realized I haven't eaten things with Iodine in them in
YEARS.

I drink black coffee (don't drink milk nor do I eat other dairy products). I
don't eat fish nor other sea food. I don't eat chicken nor eggs. I didn't add
(or own) any iodinez salt to anything I eat.

Started eating 2 eggs a day, which should contain around 45ug iodine per
egg, and been adding iodinez salt to foods I eat. I'm not worried about my
