Sit on the floor cross-legged, put your fingers over your eyes horizontally. Exhale and when you inhale, make a buzzing sound like a bee. Make sure you put very little pressure on the eyeball and keep your lips sealed.

Exercise 2: The shoulder stand: Sarvangna Asanaor

This exercise not only helps your eyes but also your brain. Lie down on a mat and using your arms, lift your body waist downwards in the air so that your legs are straightforward and toes face outwards. This posture rouses blood circulation in the brain and optic nerve. You can also lay on your back and lift your legs upward, as high as you can go. This exercise increases blood circulation to the brain, eyes, nose, and ears thereby improving their working. This posture also helps you maximise and detoxify the performance of all the other organs.

Keep your eyes wide open and then blink for about 10-15 times quickly. Close your eyes for  15-20 seconds and repeat this exercise 4 more times. The human eye should blink about 25 times in 1 minute. However, many of us don’t, especially when we’re focusing on something on our smartphone or computer. This exercise helps prevent your dry eyes, relaxes the eye muscles and eye nourish itself.

Rub your palms together till they feel warm. Then place them on your eyes and hold the position till your palm feels warm. Relax and concentrate on something. This exercise is an additional form of relaxation which is something your eyes could use, especially after a long day at work.

Exercise 5: Sideways & Rotation

So, it’s time for you to stretch your eye muscles. Move your eyes slowly from side to side and then all the way around in a circle. If you find that difficult, then use your finger and move it in a circle, and let your eyes follow. Make sure your neck doesn’t move and repeat both those exercises about 20 times.
These are some of the wonderful eye exercises that you can use to improve your eye sight in no time at all!
