What are the methods of eye exercises?

1. Eye exercises

You can sit or lie on your back, close your eyes naturally, and then massage the acupoints around the eyes one by one. The acupoints must be located accurately and the technique must be gentle, until a local soreness and swelling sensation is felt.

(1) Massage Tianying acupoint: Use the thumbs of both hands to gently massage Tianying acupoint (below the eyebrows, at the outer upper corner of the eye socket).

(2) Press the Jingming acupoint: Use the thumb of one hand to gently press the Jingming acupoint (located at the root of the nose close to the inner canthus of the eyes). Press downward first, then press upward.

(3) Rub the Sibai point: Use your index finger to massage the Sibai point in the center of the cheek (one finger width below the lower edge of the eye socket).

(4) Press the temple and scrape the eye socket: Use the thumb to press the temple (one horizontal finger back from the middle of the eyebrow and the outer corner of the eye), and then use the inner side of the second section of the bent index finger to gently scrape the eye socket in a circle, from inside to top - > outside to top - > outside to bottom - > inside to bottom, so that the acupoints around the eye socket, such as Zanzhuyuyao, Sizhukong, Tongziliao, Qiuhou, Chengqi, etc., are massaged. This is good for pseudomyopia or preventing the deepening of myopia.

2. Ironing eye method

It is best to do this method while sitting down, relax your whole body, close your eyes, then quickly rub your palms together to generate heat. Cover your eyes with both hands while they are still hot. After the heat dissipates, suddenly remove your hands and open your eyes at the same time. Do this 3 to 5 times. This can promote blood circulation in the eyes and enhance metabolism.

3. Eye breathing and concentration method

Choose a place with fresh air, sit or stand, relax your whole body, look straight ahead, slowly inhale enough air, open your eyes wide, pause for a moment, then slowly exhale, slowly close your eyes, do this 9 times in a row.

4. Eye-rolling method

Choose a quiet place, sit or stand, relax your whole body, clear your mind, open your eyes, keep your head and neck still, and only move your eyeballs. First, gaze directly below, then slowly turn to the left, then to the top, to the right, and finally back to the top.

Gaze directly downward, and then turn clockwise 9 times. Then let your eyes move from gazing downwards, to the right, to the top, to the left, and then back downwards, and do this 9 times in a counterclockwise direction. Do this 4 times in total. With each movement, the eye should move as far as possible. This eye-rolling method can exercise the eye muscles, improve nutrition, and make the eyes flexible and bright.

5. Gaze into the distance

Find a meadow or green tree 10 meters away: Due to the shorter wavelength of green, the image is formed in front of the retina, which helps the eyes to relax and the ciliary muscles to reduce eye fatigue.

Don't squint or blink too often. Clear your mind, concentrate, and stare intently for 25 seconds to identify the outline of grass or leaves. Then place your left palm slightly higher than your eyes and about 30 cm in front of your eyes, and look at the palm lines one by one from beginning to end, for about 5 seconds.

After looking at the palm lines, stare at the grass or leaves in the distance for 25 seconds, and then look at the palm lines again. Repeat 20 times in 10 minutes, three times a day. If your eyesight is severely impaired, you should increase the number of training sessions.

There is also hot water for washing eyes or applying hot pads to eyes and temples.
