Many yoga exercises aim to improve the health of body organs. When it comes to eye health, yoga can be beneficial as well. Certain yoga exercises can improve the normal eye functioning, but they can also help overcome some health problems related to the eyes such as short-sightedness, myopia, etc. In order to benefit from these exercises, you will need to practice yoga for a couple of months.
If you want to improve your eyesight naturally and if you want to remove the glasses, the following yoga exercises can help:
1. Blinking
Sit in a comfortable position and keep your eyes open. Blink very quickly for 10 times, close the eyes and relax for about 20 seconds. Slowly concentrate on your breathing afterward. Repeat this exercise about 5 times.
2. Palming
Sit in a comfortable position in a quiet area with your eyes closed. Focus on your breathing and relax completely. Rub the palms of your hands vigorously, until they are warm. Place the palms over your eyelids gently. The warmth of your palms will be transferred to your eyes and the eye muscle will relax. Concentrate and stay in this position until your eyes have completely absorbed the heat from your palms. Lower your hands while keeping your eyes still closed. Repeat this process about 3 times.
3. Front and Sideways Viewing
Sit on the floor with your legs stretched forward. Place your left fist on your knee while your thumbs are pointed upwards. Look straight forward at a point in the same level as your eyes. Don’t move your head, breath out and focus your eyes on the left thumb without moving your head. Breathe in and focus your eyes in front of you at a point in the same level as your eyes.

You should repeat this exercise in cycles, 15 to 20 times.
Treat Your Eyes Right
Eat a healthy diet as it is very beneficial for your health, including the health of your eyes. Plenty of fruits and vegetables should be part of your daily diet as they can significantly improve the health of your eyes. Vitamins such as Vitamin A, C, and E, or minerals are important for your eyesight. Antioxidants are very beneficial as well as they are a great source of nutrients for your eyes. If you are worried about your vitamin intake, then you can consider vitamin supplements.
Rest Properly
Getting the necessary rest is important for your health, including the health of your eyes. You should take some brakes during the day while working, as well as get plenty of sleep at night. This is especially important if you work on a computer all day, straining your eyes too much. Sitting in front of your computer all day will do no good to your eyes.
However, as life is not imaginable without a computer, try to take breaks every hour. Just close your eyes or get up and walk around the office for about 10 minutes. Focus your eyes on something else and not on a screen. There is also the known 10-10-10 rule which consists in looking at something 10 feet away for 10 seconds, every 10 minutes that you spend working on a computer in order to help your eyes relax.
The rest during the day is not enough. For a better health of your eyes, you should get at least 8 hours of good sleep at night. If your eyes are well rested, normally they will be in a better condition.
