There is still no consensus among eye doctors about the effectiveness of various eye exercises. Some eye experts just dismiss these exercises. But in this article, several eye exercises promoted by positive doctors will be introduced. Proper eye exercises are believed by many doctors to strengthen eye muscles or relax them. After a long time, the eyesight will progressively improve.
Common vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism are thought to be caused by excessive eyestrain and stress on a daily basis. What's surprising, some professionals even consider regular glasses use is also a major contributor to poor vision. These doctors think that long periods of eyestrain will naturally damage the eyesight. This chronic effect is similar to the backache that is caused by strain on the back muscle.
There are three types of eye exercises that are widely recommended by experts to improve eyesight naturally. These exercises are believed to remove eyestrain. The first one is to cut down the amount time of corrective lenses wearing. While most wearers consider their glasses as a helpful device, glasses can actually bring unnecessary strain on the eyes. The implicit reason is that corrective glasses or contact lenses are designed to perform relatively far away tasks. In fact, many activities involving near objects do not need vision correction, such as reading a book and watching TV.
Most promoters of sunglasses will strongly encourage individuals to protect their eyes from harmful sunlight by wearing sunglasses. This is quite understandable for commercial interest. But wise people should not go to an extreme. Too much sun rays are truly to cause problems on the skin and the eyes. But the benefits of appropriate sunlight have long been neglected. The fact is that many diseases can be prevented if a person exposes the eyes to the sun appropriately. Sun rays have been proven to help the body produce vitamin D. Ordinary people are encouraged to close their eyelids and face the morning sun. This gentle sunshine is beneficial to eye health.
The third eye exercise is palming, during which a person should shut all light out of the eyes by placing his or her palms on the eyes.
