An eyelid massage can improve blood flow and tear quality too. For severe dry eyes, opthalmologists may suggest intense-pulsed light therapy followed by massage to push the oils out of the glands. Simply close your eyes and gently roll your little finger in a circle. Grab a Q-tip, close your eyes again, and gently roll the cotton bud down the upper eyelid toward the lashes. Do this for the entire width of the upper and lower eyelids.
