A set of simple eye exercises can help you improve eyesight & keep your eyes healthy. The reduction of vision due to aging is called Presbyopia; it is due to slow thickening & loss of flexibility of the lens in the eyes. Daily eye exercises can help to keep muscles flexible & the lens mobile.
1. Focusing on distant object: Simply stare at something in a distance every 1/2 to 1 hr, for 10-30 sec. Just look at some object in the next room or at something at a distance outside your window. It helps eyes to focus on far away things & prevents them from becoming used to focusing only on closer objects. It helps to cure short sightedness.(read at http://www.eruptingmind.com/tips-to-improve-eyesight/)
2. Rotation of the eyeballs: helps loosen eye muscles & improve blood flow; it thus increases the level of oxygen, improving vision. Rotate your eyeballs in a clockwise and then an anti-clockwise direction. Repeat this 10 to 15 times with moments of relaxation in between.
2. Look side to side & up /down: Imagine a clock in front; Move your eyes from 3 to 9 o’clock for 15-20 times, next move your eyes from 12 to 6 o’clock, 15-20 times. Finally rotate the eye around the clock in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions few times. After doing this, close your eyes and rest for a while.
3. Thumb Exercises: Stretch your left arm in front & focus on the thumb nail. Now follow the nail as you move your arm to the left till you can no longer see it. Then follow it back to position. Now repeat with right arm. Do the exercise 3 times with each arm.
4 Distance Focus: Look at your finger or a pen & then look at a distance with only one eye at a time (keep 1 eye closed)Repeat 10-30 times with each eye. Helps to improve focus.
5. Palming to reset the vision: when eyes feel tired and vision become blurred, rub both your palms together for 3 to 4 min. till they warm up & place them on your eyes fully covering them such that fingers are resting on the forehead. See the darkness inside your palms and feel the warmth of your palms. Repeat several times.
Spending as little as 20 minutes a day should improve your vision noticeably within weeks. Objects that appeared blurred will begin to appear crisper and sharper.
