Quick Eye Relief

Stay tuned for the single habit that gives instant eye relief.

How to Palm Properly

First, wash your hands. Rub them together until they’re warm, about ten seconds. Sit with elbows on a desk or knees, let your shoulders drop. Close your eyes, cup your palms over them, fingers lightly crossing your forehead. No pressure on the eyeballs.

Insider Trick: Warmth Matters

The secret is the warmth. Rub your palms for ten seconds until they feel cozy. The gentle heat and darkness give a soothing rest, not pressure. If you’re unsure, keep your hands a hair’s breadth away and let the dark do the work.

When to Palm

Tie the habit to natural endings: a video call ends, a file saves, an email sends. Those moments are perfect gaps for a thirty-second pause. Pair it with a quick 20-20-20 break, look far, then palm for a few seconds.

Contact Lenses

If you wear contacts, take them out first or skip palming altogether. Touching lenses with unwashed hands can shift them and raise irritation risk. A break with glasses on is gentler for your eyes.

Who Should Skip

Skip palming if you’ve had recent eye surgery, an injury, or an infection. Also avoid it if your eye is red, painful, or discharging. In those cases, see a professional right away.

Palming Duration

The whole routine lasts just thirty seconds, a tiny pause you can fit anywhere in your day.

Reset Cycle

Doing this daily for a week builds a simple eye-care habit that feels rewarding.
