Do your eyes feel dry or itchy? Have some coffee...

Almost half of us have irritated eyes at some point in the day...

Allergies, staring at the computer screen and changing hormones could be to blame. There are a few things you can do to get fast relief from dry, itchy or irritated eyes:

• Have a cup of coffee: Caffeine can help stimulate the nerves in your eyes to start producing moisture within 45 minutes.

• Skip the fake sweetener: Aspartame can trigger dry-eye. Real sugar is better – but too much can irritate your eyes.

• A warm washcloth: Hold that over your eyes for 10 minutes a day to keep the glands in your eyelids working properly.
