Depending on how your eyes are tired, you should either cool them or warm them. As a simple rule of thumb: if you feel fatigue on the surface of your eyes or around your eyes, cooling is best; if you feel pain deep in your eyes or a heavy, dull fatigue, warming them is more effective.
How can I improve the sharpness of scissors?
- Sharpen with sandpaper
- Cutting aluminum foil
- Soak in water for several hours
See the answer
Cutting aluminum foil
When scissors become dull, you can improve their sharpness by stacking several sheets of aluminum foil and cutting through them, which helps smooth out small nicks on the blades. Sandpaper can damage the blades, and soaking them in water can cause rust. Cutting oiled cloth can make the motion smoother, but it doesn’t directly improve the sharpness itself.
