In the fast-paced modern life, staring at electronic screens for long periods of time has become a daily routine for many people. Such a habit not only leads to eye strain, but can also cause various eye problems. To relieve eye pressure, eye exercises have become a simple and effective option. This article will detail the correct practice of eye exercises to help you better protect your eye health.
1. Preparations
Before starting eye exercises, make sure your hands are clean to prevent germs from getting into your eyes. At the same time, choose a quiet, comfortable environment to ensure that you can concentrate on eye exercises.
2. Eye exercise steps
1.Alternate gaze from near and far.
Sit upright and keep your head still.
Stretch out one arm and hold your index finger up about 30 cm in front of your eyes.
Look at your fingertips, then slowly move your arm to a point 1 meter away and hold your gaze for a few seconds.
Move your arm back and repeat 5 times.
This action helps to adjust the focus of the eyes and relieves eye fatigue caused by looking at close objects for long periods of time.
2.Roll your eyes up, down, left and right.
Sit upright and close your eyes.
Imagine a clock and turn your eyes in a clockwise direction, staying for 1 second in each direction.
Repeat this 5 times, then turn it 5 times in a counterclockwise direction.
This action strengthens the flexibility of the eye muscles and improves blood circulation.
3.Massage the acupressure points around the eyes.
Gently close your eyes and use the index and middle fingers of both hands to gently massage the acupuncture points on the inside of your eyebrows for about 5 seconds at a time.
Then use the same method to massage the acupuncture points under the eyes (Chengwee acupoints).
Repeat this 3 times.
Massaging these acupuncture points can help relieve eye fatigue and promote tear production.
3. Steps of eye exercises in primary schools
Section 1: Rub the Tianying acupoints. Sit quietly with your eyes closed, pressing the ribbed side of your left and right thumbs on the upper orbital corners under the left and right eyebrows, and spread out the other four fingers.
Section 2: Squeeze the eye acupoint. One elbow is supported on the table, and the ends of the thumb and index finger are pressed against the eye points on each side.
Section 3: Rub the four white points. First, put the left and right index fingers and middle fingers together, place them on both sides of the nose, and rub them on the cheeks.
Section 4: Scrape the eye sockets by pressing the temples and chakras.
4. Precautions
When performing eye exercises, make sure that your movements are gentle to avoid eye injuries caused by using too much force.
If you experience discomfort while performing eye exercises, stop immediately and consult a doctor.
Although eye exercises can help relieve eye fatigue, they are not a complete substitute for a professional eye exam. Please visit a professional for regular eye check-ups to ensure your eye health.
