These exercises help relieve fatigue, improve vision, and simply relax. You can do them at home or at work: you just need to set aside a few minutes and take care of a relatively calm environment. The main thing is to practice daily.
All exercises should be done while sitting with a straight back. After completing each one, close your eyes and rest for a few seconds.
Exercise 1
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax your body. Then rub your palms and place them over your eyes. Stay in this position until your hands give off warmth. Then, without opening your eyes, rub your palms again and again apply them to your eyes. Do the exercise three times.
Exercise 2
Open your eyes and blink quickly 10 times. Then close your eyes, relax for 20 seconds and listen to your breathing. Repeat the exercise five times.
Exercise # 3
Clench your fists and raise your thumbs. Extend your arms at eye level. Look at the space between the eyebrows, move your gaze to the thumb of your left hand. Look again at the space between the eyebrows, and then at the thumb of the right hand.
Inhale while looking at the brow space and exhale while looking at your fingers. Do 10 to 20 reps.
Exercise 4
Place your hands on your knees and keep your head straight. Look at the point in front of you. As you exhale, lower your gaze to the thumb of your left hand, while inhaling, look again at the point in front of you.
Repeat with your right finger.
Exercise # 5
Relax your left hand and leave it on your knee. The right one, clenched into a fist with a raised thumb, pull it forward. Make five circular movements clockwise and counterclockwise with your right hand. Follow the movement of your thumb with your eyes. Inhale at the top of the circle and exhale at the bottom.
Repeat the exercise with your left hand.
Exercise # 6
Lower your hands to your knees (fists clenched, thumbs up). As you inhale, begin to gradually raise your right hand and follow the movement of your thumb. Do not bend your elbow or move your head. When your finger reaches its maximum point of view, begin exhaling and lowering your hand, still keeping an eye on your thumb. Do five reps for the right and left arms.
Exercise 7
Stretch your right hand out in front of you, make a fist, and lift your finger up. Focus on the tip of your finger. As you inhale, begin to slowly bring your hand to your nose, without taking your eyes off your finger.
Touch your finger to your nose, hold your breath and stay in this position for a couple of seconds. Then exhale and slowly move your hand back to the starting position while continuing to focus on your finger. Do five reps.
Exercise 8
Choose a distant point or sit by the window and look at the horizon. Then move your gaze to the tip of your nose and continue looking at it for 5-10 seconds. Inhale while looking at the near point and exhale while looking at the far. Repeat the exercise 10–20 times.
If you are doing this at home, then lie down in savasana upon completion and try to completely relax in a few minutes.
Eye gymnastics should be done every day, especially if you spend a lot of time at the computer.
There is only one caveat: if you have serious vision problems (glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment), you should consult your doctor before performing any eye exercises.
