Are glasses making life miserable for you? Do you long to read without the help of lens or spectacles? Are you wondering whether it is possible to improve eye sight through yoga? Well, the answer is yes. Yoga exercises are aimed to improve eye vision.
Yoga to improve eye sight
The main factor for improving vision is the flexibility of the muscles of the eyes. Once the eye muscles are relaxed, the ligaments, lens and muscles of the eyes help the eyes to move properly. Yoga helps to improve the eye sight by:
- strengthening the muscles
- retraining the eye muscles to focus properly
- improving the concentration
- making the eyes more flexible
- reversing the ill-effects of poor lifestyle
Who all can benefit
People suffering from the following eye conditions can benefit from yoga:
- Hyperopia (farsightedness)

- Photo sensitivity (sensitivity to light)

- Presbyopia (middle-age sight/reading glasses)
Exercises to improve eye sight
Following exercises will help you correct the vision:
- Choose a quiet place. Sit there in a comfortable posture. Close your eyes. Concentrate on the area between your brows (third eye) for some time. Increase the time gradually. Do not do this exercise if you have headache.Tis will improve the concentration.
- Rub your palms together and lightly place them above the eyes. Do not press the palms on your eyeballs. This will relax the eyes.
- Rotate your eyes in 360 degrees. Both the corners should be touched. Do this exercise clock-wise as well as anti-clock wise. This will strengthen the eye muscles.
- Try to give your eyes some sunshine. Do not directly look at the sun. The morning sun rays are very good for the eyes.
