The eyes are the windows of our soul（灵魂）.However，you have to look after them properly.Your eyes need everyday attention.
Pay more attention to your diet.Have more fruits，vegetables，fish，eggs and milk.It's good for your eyes.Besides，we should take some Vitamins A and B 2regularly（有规律地）.
Have a regular sleep.It relaxes the eye muscles（肌肉） and gives them the rest required.Usually，you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day，or you will get dark circles under the eyes.
Exercise eyes every day.Blink（眨眼） your eyes regularly，which makes the eyeballs watery，and gives them a good wash.
Use your eyes in right ways.Rubbing（摩擦） is harmful to your eyes.For example，if a small thing goes into your eye，don't rub it.Don't read or write in the sun.Too much reading，writing，watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eyes tired，so a good rest is required.
If you always take care of God's most beautiful gift，your eyes will be very colorful!
