Core Exercises
Includes palming (covering eyes with hands to relax), focusing near and far (accommodative exercises), and tracking movements (side-to-side, up-and-down, diagonals, and circles).
Scientific Evidence
While these exercises can help relieve symptoms of eyestrain and temporary fatigue, there is limited scientific evidence that they can permanently improve refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness).
Benefits
Primarily promotes relaxation, reduces digital fatigue, and improves blood circulation to the eye area.
Should I stop wearing glasses if I do Eye Yoga?
Absolutely not. Eye yoga is a supplementary practice for comfort and relaxation and should not replace corrective lenses or professional medical care.
How often should the exercises be done?
They are generally recommended for 10-15 minutes daily, especially during breaks from prolonged reading or screen time.
What is palming?
Palming is a relaxation technique where you gently cover your closed eyes with your palms to block light and allow the eye muscles to relax completely.
