The best way to clean your eyes in the morning is to use a clean washcloth soaked in warm water and gently apply it to your eyelids and lashes. This will help to remove any crust or discharge that may have accumulated during the night.
Avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands, as this can introduce germs and potentially lead to an eye infection.
Here are some additional tips for cleaning your eyes:
- Use a separate washcloth for each eye. This will help to prevent the spread of germs.
- Gently wipe your eyes from the inside out. This will help to prevent any discharge from entering your eye.
- If you have any eye irritation or discharge, consult with a doctor.
