Yoga for Eyesight Improvement

Our senses are our windows to the world; our vision is the strongest of them all, to see, to know, to communicate, and relish every bit of the world around us. The more the light to our eyes, the better the vision and the clearer the image.

Even 10-15 minutes every day of yoga exercises will keep your eyes healthy and devoid of any complications.

With benefits ranging from better vision to increased concentration and spiritual insight, the asanas for the eyes will help protect your vision from the stresses of light, tension, and other environmental conditions –  keeping them refreshed and bright.

Did you know that just blinking your eyes could do you good?

Other than a few conditions of the eye such as glaucoma and cataract, which occur due to bacterial infections, many eye disorders are related to the malfunctioning of the ocular muscles. Interestingly these may be caused by chronic mental or emotional tension. Yogic techniques for relaxation of the eyes help alleviate disorders such as myopia and hypermetropia that are caused primarily due to defects of the eye muscles. It also provides relaxation for those suffering from conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and uncorrected refractive errors.

These exercises are said to regulate pressure and enhance the functioning of the optic nerves. Even exercises as simple as rapid blinking of the eyes can bring back the twinkle in your eyes, warding off all dreariness caused due to long hours of exposure to electronic devices and making them healthier and stronger.
