Eye Care through Eye Exercise A Critical Review

To focus light, eye uses a flexible lens, and a circular muscle the ciliary . For distance vision the shape of the lens allows the muscle to be relaxed. When you look up close the ciliary muscle becomes tense or contracted to change the lens shape to give clear close up vision. Eventually there is spasm of ciliary muscle due to its constant contraction when looking at close objects. When it fails to fully relax, the lens cannot entirely return to focus on distant objects. This is when our distance vision becomes blurred and role of Eye exercises comes into action. As like Body needs an exercise in many ways, similarly eye needs an gentle exercises to overcome a some of the visual disturbances. This “eye exercise” relieves strain on the focusing muscle inside the eye and on the muscles that control eye alignment which have to work harder when focusing on near objects compared with looking at objects far away . It also stimulates blinking, which can relieve or lessen dry eye symptoms associated with prolonged near work and screen time. So it is aimed at improving the use of extrinsic muscles and the mechanism of accommodation. Dr. Boggu Suresh | Dr. Vinod Jadhav | Dr. V. P.
