Q: How can I make my eyes whiter and brighter? – Miguel K.
A: Two things that can help make your eyes whiter and brighter are sleeping well and changing your diet.
Sleep Well
Lack of proper sleep is the main culprit behind the eyes looking tired, red and puffy. A proper night’s sleep is the biggest secret to making your eyes appear fresh and bright. By proper sleep, I mean a good night’s rest, not napping for short durations in intervals.
Lack of sleep will probably make you more cranky and irritated. It will, apart from making the eyes appear red and swollen, also lead to the formation of dark circles under the eyes, which steal away your beauty.

The amount of sleep required to lead a healthy and active life may vary from one individual to the other, but an average adult requires six to eight hours of proper sleep.

Change Your Diet
Yellowish eyes may usually indicate a defect of the liver and diseases such as hepatitis. Pale eyes indicate anemia. Sugary foods and meals high in fats should be avoided, as they cause liver damage. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be consumed and water intake should be increased to improve health and fitness.
Alcohol and carbohydrate rich drinks trouble the liver, so does coffee and beverages high in caffeine. Prefer boiled and steamed meals to fried ones and decrease the consumption of spices and salts.
