Tips and exercises for healthy eyes

Most of us, on an average day at work, have our eyes continuously fixed on computer monitors. We occasionally shift to the mobile, but remember it is still a digital screen. You get back home only to sit in front of the television to watch literally eye grabbing shows. This continuous stress and strain has given rise to eye problems. The better your eyes are able to move, the better will be your eyesight. Sensitivity to light, eye strain, and blurred vision are three common problems that can be helped with eye exercises. Just like the rest of our body organs that need to be exercised and kept limber, our eyes also need the same care. So you can understand how important it is to improveeye health with simple exercises.

* Before going to sleep, massage eye muscles and eye lidsby gently rubbing finger in a circular direction for at least two minutes. Massaging eyes can help to relax eye muscles.

* Constantly blinking eyes is a very simple way to keep eyes fresh and avoid eyestrain. Computer users should blink their eyes every three to four seconds.

* Another exercise that’s beneficial to promote eye movement is to sit down and look at a wallacross the room . Focus on outlines of objects on wall. Try to keep head still. Just move your eyes around each object.

It’s more important to do the exercises regularly for a long time. Even 40-60 seconds of eye movement every hour is very helpful.
