Exercise for the eyes - exercises for relaxation and improvement of vision - clinic Krugozor in Moscow
Every day we "absorb" a large amount of information. Many vision problems arise from overexertion, so we experience discomfort, dryness, and fatigue. These seemingly minor symptoms are the first signs of visual impairment.
To avoid vision problems, it is necessary to perform “Eye Exercise ”. It is advisable to do exercises in the morning or in the evening (before going to bed), after removing glasses or contact lenses.
Movements should be smooth, without jerks, it is also useful to blink between exercises.
“GYMNASTICS FOR THE EYES”
* Starting position (hereinafter referred to as i.p.).
Exercise No. 1 “Big eyes”:
i.p. - sitting. Close your eyes tightly for 3-5 seconds, and then open your eyes for 3-5 seconds, repeat 6-8 times. This exercise strengthens the muscles of the eyelids. Promotes blood circulation and relaxation of eye muscles.
Exercise No. 2:
i.p. - standing. Look straight ahead for 2-3 seconds. Place the finger of the right hand on the midline of the face at a distance of 25-30 cm from the eye, look at the end of the finger and look at it for 3-5 seconds. Give up. Repeat 10-12 times. Exercise relieves fatigue, facilitates visual work at close range.
Exercise No. 3 “Blinds”:
i.p. - sitting. Blink rapidly for 1-2 minutes.
Helps improve blood circulation.

Exercise #5:
i.p. - sitting. Close the eyelids, massage them with circular movements of the finger. Repeat for 1 minute. Exercise relaxes muscles and improves blood circulation.
Exercise No. 6:
i.p. - standing. Place the finger of the right hand along the midline of the face at a distance of 25-30 cm from the eye, look with both eyes at the end of the finger for 3-5 seconds, cover the eye with the palm of the left hand for 3-5 seconds, remove the palm, look with both eyes at the end finger 3-5 sec. Place the finger of the left hand in the middle line at a distance of 25-30 cm, cover the right eye with the palm of the right hand for 3-5 seconds, remove the palm, look at the wallpaper with the eyes at the end of the finger for 3-5 seconds.
Repeat 5-6 times. The exercise strengthens the muscles of both eyes (binocular vision).
Exercise #7:
i.p. - standing. Take your hand to the right side, slowly move the finger of the half-bent hand from right to left and, with a motionless head, follow the finger with your eyes, slowly move the finger of the half-bent hand from left to right and, with a motionless head, follow the finger with your eyes. Repeat 10-15 times. This exercise strengthens the horizontal eye muscles and improves their coordination.

11. We reduce the pupils to the bridge of the nose with all our strength, bringing the finger closer to the nose.
12. We often blink our eyelids like a butterfly flaps its wings.
Eye exercises. Exercises to restore vision.
The first exercises to preserve vision were created long before our era. Yoga, creating complexes for the whole body, did not forget about our eyes. They knew for sure that for the best result, you need not only training, but also a good rest.
The large amount of information that we "absorb" every day requires our eyes to be almost constantly strained. And, of course, they get tired. Many vision problems arise precisely from overexertion.
Even a person with a "one" needs rest for the eyes. Otherwise, after hard work, symptoms such as dry eyes, redness, blurred distance vision may appear. What can we say about those whose vision leaves much to be desired - in this case, rest for the eyes is simply necessary. No wonder W. G. Bates and his student M. D. Corbet, creating their system for improving vision, largely relied on this fact.
The exercises and relaxation for the eyes that will be given below (this is a yoga complex, and exercises according to W. G. Bates and M. D. Corbet) are quite simple and will not take much time. But… everything ingenious is simple and complex at the same time. Therefore, first try to carefully read the description of the exercise. If it is written that the movement should be smooth - this is important. If recommendations are given on how to breathe, pay attention to them. Do not forget about these "little things" and then exercises and rest will become the most effective.
Rest first.
Palming
Sit up straight, relax. Cover your eyes in this way: the middle of the palm of the right hand should be opposite the right eye, the same with the left hand. The palms should lie softly, no need to forcefully press them to the face. The fingers can cross on the forehead, can be located nearby - as you prefer. The main thing is that there are no "slits" that let light through. When you are sure of this, lower your eyelids. The result is that your eyes are closed and, in addition, covered by the palms of your hands.
Now rest your elbows on the table. The main thing is that the neck and spine are almost in a straight line. Check that your body is not tense, and your arms and back and neck should be relaxed. Breathing should be calm.
Now try to remember something that gives you pleasure: how you were relaxing at the sea, how everyone congratulated you on your birthday, the starry sky... You can do this exercise to the music. It is very difficult to consciously relax your eyes (remember that you cannot control your heart either).
Therefore, you should not try to control your condition - this will only hurt the purpose of the lesson, instead think about something pleasant instead.
You can also do this exercise at work, taking short breaks. Even in 10-15 seconds, your eyes will have time to rest a little. But, of course, it will be better if you take at least a few minutes to relax.
After completing the exercise (especially if you have been doing it for a long time), gradually open your palms, let your closed eyes get used to the light a little, and only then open them.
Nose Writing
This exercise is designed to both relax your eye muscles and relax your neck. The tension in this area disrupts the proper nutrition of the eyes (in other words, the process of blood supply slows down).
The exercise can be performed both lying down and standing, but sitting is best. Relax. Close your eyes. Imagine that the tip of the nose is a pen with which you can write (or imagine that the line of the nose is continued by a long pointer-pen - it all depends on how you feel more comfortable, the main thing is that you and your eyes do not strain).
Now write (or draw) in the air with your pen. What exactly is not important. Write different letters, names of cities and countries, a small letter to your loved one. Draw a house with smoke from a chimney (such as you drew in childhood), just a circle or a square.
If you want to relax your eyes a little while sitting right at your desk, you can imagine that you are not writing with a pen, but with the tip of a needle on the head of a pin. Then colleagues will not ask you what you are doing, because from the side the movements of your head will be almost imperceptible. Employees will think that you are just sitting with your eyes closed to get some rest. Which is not far from the truth. In the same way, you can relax your eyes if you return home from work in public transport.
"Through your fingers"
Relaxation of the eyes can be achieved by looking without concentrating on one thing. To relieve tension from the eyes, you are invited to this exercise.
It can be done sitting, lying down or standing.
Bend your elbows so that your palms are just below eye level. Open your fingers. Make smooth turns of your head left and right, while looking through your fingers, into the distance, and not at them. Let the gaze slide, not dwelling on one thing. If you do everything right, your hands will “float” past you: it should seem to you that they are moving.
Alternately do three turns with your eyes open and three with your eyes closed (at the same time, even with closed eyes, you should “not linger” on anything. Do the exercise 20-30 times, while breathing freely, do not strain.
If you cannot to achieve the effect of movement, try this. Stretch your index finger. It should “look" up. And your nose should touch it. Close your eyes and turn your head left and right so that your nose, passing by the finger, touches it. Without stopping turning your head , open your eyes (just don't focus on the finger, look far away!) You will surely see that the finger is "moving".

Morning complex
For those who find it difficult to open their eyes in the morning, this complex will be a real salvation. And if you can palm several times during the day (at lunchtime - longer, every 1-2 hours at least 10-15 seconds) and "write" something with your nose (at lunchtime and on the way from work), you will feel that over time your eyes will no longer get tired like before. You can do some exercises at night. Especially if you watch TV, sit at the computer or read before going to bed.
So let's go back to the morning.
- Stretch well, roll several times from side to side. Don't hold your breath while doing this. Instead, breathe deeply and calmly.
- Open your eyes and mouth wide several times.
- Close your eyes tightly (6 times), make 12 light blinks.
- Do the "writing with your nose" exercise.
- Do an eyebrow exercise (see description below).
- Make finger turns.
- Palming.
Palming should take about 5 minutes.
The rest of the complex should take the same amount of time (6 previous exercises).
Eyebrow exercise
In the morning, many of us want to say, like Gogol's Wii: "Lift my eyelids!". And over time, they become harder and harder. Eyebrow exercise will not only help your eyes get rid of the pressure of this heaviness, but also help you look younger.
Raise your eyebrows as high as you can while watching the sensation that appears at the top of your ears. Your task is to reproduce this feeling over time without raising your eyebrows. Of course, not everyone can do such an exercise right away. It is possible that when you raise your eyebrows for the first time, you will not catch any special sensations. Take your time, listen to yourself, and you will succeed.
Basic yoga complex for the eyes
This yoga complex is recommended to maintain good vision. According to the yogis themselves, if you do it every morning and evening, starting from youth, you can maintain good eyesight until old age and not use glasses.
Sit in a comfortable position before doing the complex (it's good if you can sit on your heels on a gymnastic mat, but you can also sit on a chair). Straighten your spine. Try to relax all the muscles (including the muscles of the face), except those that support the sitting position of the body. Look straight ahead into the distance, if there is a window, look there, if not, look at the wall. Try to focus on the eyes, but without undue stress.
Exercise No. 1
Inhaling deeply and slowly (preferably from the belly), look between the eyebrows, hold your eyes in this position for a few seconds. Exhaling slowly, return your eyes to their original position and close for a few seconds. Over time, gradually (not earlier than after 2-3 weeks), the delay in the upper position can be increased (after six months to several minutes). Repeat the exercise 10 times.
Exercise No. 2
Inhaling deeply, look at the tip of the nose. Hold for a few seconds and, exhaling, return your eyes to their original position. Close your eyes for a little while. Repeat the exercise 10 times.
Exercise No. 3
While inhaling, slowly turn your eyes to the right ("to the stop", but without strong tension). Without stopping, as you exhale, return your eyes to their original position. Turn your eyes to the left in the same way.
First do one cycle, then two (two to three weeks later), and finally do three cycles. After completing the exercise, close your eyes for a few seconds. Repeat the exercise 10 times.
Exercise No. 4
While inhaling, look to the upper right corner (approximately 45° from the vertical) and, without stopping, return your eyes to the starting position. On the next inhalation, look to the lower left corner and on the way out, return your eyes to their original position.
First do one cycle, then two (two to three weeks later), and finally do three cycles. After completing the exercise, close your eyes for a few seconds.
Repeat the exercise 3 times.
Exercise No. 5
Inhaling, lower your eyes down and then slowly turn them clockwise, stopping at the highest point (at 12 o'clock). Without stopping, start exhaling and continue turning your eyes clockwise down (up to 6 hours). To begin with, one circle is enough, you can gradually increase their number to ten circles (in two to three weeks). At the same time, without delaying after the first circle, immediately start the second one.
