5 tips for brighter, whiter eyes

Have you ever noticed that the models you see in magazines have really bright eyes, and the whites of their eyes are super white?

They probably have Photoshop to thank, but there are ways to make the whites of your eyes even whiter. And it’s all down to some simple tips.

1. Fruit and vegetables

In order to improve your eye health, there are some specific vitamins and minerals that you need. Reach for orange and yellow options to fill up on the much-needed vitamins A and C (think carrots, oranges, peaches, squash and pumpkin); vitamin E from foods rich in good fat such as nuts and seeds; and zinc from baby spinach, lamb, beef, mushrooms, yoghurt nuts, seeds and avocado.

2. Environmental factors

Pollution in the air, an air-conditioned office, smoking, a night on the booze, or irritants such as pollen in the air can all cause eye redness. Keep these under control and you’ll quickly notice a difference in your eye health.

3. Good eye drops

Sometimes we are just tired, or affected by hayfever and just need a way to reduce the redness. This is where some good quality eye drops come in. Pop to the chemist and ask for their preferred brand of anti-redness drops.

4. Distraction

Some well placed concealer, bronzer and eye makeup can make a big difference to how bright your eyes look. Take a look at some online tutorials for tips to fake brighter eyes.

5. Water

Just like every other function in your body, your eyes need water to thrive. Ensure you are getting around 2 litres per day to help your eyes stay moist and clean.
