We recommend that you do these exercises every day. You can relieve eye pain with exercises and also strengthen your eye muscles.
What causes eyestrain
Eyestrain (or eye fatigue) is a symptom of prolonged visual activity. Eye strain and eye pain can occur when looking at a computer screen, mobile device, or printed text for a long time.Our eyesdo a lot of work for us every day. That's why it's a good idea to keep them in good condition. Learn about the best eye exercises you can do to reduce eye strain and have healthy eyes!
Eye rolling is a great way to relieve eye strain. And if you do it often, you'll also train your eye muscles. Just as lifting weights strengthens the muscles in your body, this exercise also strengthens your eyes.
- To perform this exercise, sit up straight. Make sure you look forward with your shoulders relaxed.
- Look to the right and then roll your eyes up toward the sky. Then roll your gaze down, to the left, and then to the floor.
- Repeat the process in the other direction. Aim for 10 reps, twice a day.
- Ideally, you should not look at a screen during this exercise. Rotate your chair so that you are facing the wall if you are doing the exercise at work.
The palm eye exercise
The palm exercise is a great exercise for healthy eyes. She also relaxesyour eyeswhen you feel tired.
- Start by placing your hands on the sockets of your closed eyes. Stare into the back of the dark room. You will notice that the various residual tones in your field of vision slowly turn black.
- Do this simple exercise for at least 30 seconds. It acts as a reset button for your vision and refreshes your eyes.
The eye press for relaxation
This exercise also uses the hands to relax the eyes. Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
- Place all your fingers on your eyelids and press lightly. Apply gentle pressure to your eyes. Hold it for about 10 seconds.
- Slowly release your eyes. Hold them open for a few seconds while your vision returns to focus. You can squint a little to realign your eyes.
- Then repeat the eye squeeze. Try to do this 10 times for maximum eye relief.
The palm press exercise
Palm presses are one of the best eye exercises you can do to relax tired and exhausted eyes. It's like a warm eye compress on the go!
- Rub both palms together until they are nice and warm. You can also wash them in very warm water to warm them up.

Another great exercise for healthy eyes is zooming. This exercise is suitable for anyone who looks at a computer screen all day at work.

Write words on the wall
This is a good exercise to strengthen and exercise your eye muscles. Start by standing or sitting in front of a blank wall at least three feet away. There should be no pictures or windows on the wall.
- Then imagine that your eyes are lasers! Then use them to write words on the wall.

- Write words with your eyes for about 20 seconds and then take a short break.
- Repeat for a total of 2 minutes for best results.
Blink slowly
One of the negative side effects of looking at a screen all day is that we don't blink very often. Blinking is important because it helps ensure our eyes are adequately lubricated. This exercise supports the health of your eyes. It is also a wonderful way to refresh tired, itchy and dry eyes.
- Look straight ahead at a blank wall. Then slowly close your eyes. Hold them closed for half a second. Then slowly open them again.
- Repeat this slow blink 20 times in a row. You will feel your eyes refresh with every blink. Plus, your eyes will immediately feel more moisturized.
