Did you know that your eyes work tirelessly for 16-18 hours every day, from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep? Exposure to blue light from screens, environmental pollution, and work stress can lead to eye fatigue, dryness, and even more serious issues such as refractive errors, dry eyes, or cataracts.

So how can you relax and rejuvenate your eyes daily? Eye yoga is the perfect solution: with just 3 minutes a day, you can improve eye health, reduce stress, and enhance your vision. Try these 7 simple yoga exercises today!

Exercise 1: Relax your eyes with palms

• How to do it: Rub your palms together for warmth, close your eyes, and gently place your palms over your eyes (without direct contact). Take deep breaths and relax for 30 seconds.

• Benefits: Instantly relaxes the eyes in darkness, reducing stress.

Relax your body and eyes with your palms.

Exercise 2: Open and close eyes

• How to do it: Sit straight, relax your body and face. Open your eyes as wide as possible, hold for a few seconds, then close them. Repeat 15-20 times.

• Benefits: Relieves eye tension, strengthens eye muscles, and enhances eye brightness.

Exercise 3: Eye movement exercise

• Movement 1: Sit relaxed, stretch your arms out to the sides parallel to the ground. Make loose fists with your hands and point your thumbs upward. Keep your head still and move your eyes from the right thumb to the left thumb. Repeat 10 times, then close your eyes and relax for 30 seconds.

• Movement 2: Similar to Movement 1, but instead of side-to-side motion, place your hands in a staggered position, one above and one below. Look at the upper thumb, then the lower thumb. Repeat 10 times and relax for 30 seconds.

• Benefits: Enhances eye flexibility and improves focus.

Exercise 4: Focus on a point

• Benefits: Improves eye agility and reduces fatigue from prolonged work.

Exercise 7: Trataka (Candle gazing)
