Eye Care and exercise


Always protect your eyes from hot sun and pollution by wearing sun glasses.

Always wash your eyes with cold water before and after exercise.

 Take a healthy diet which is rich in Vitamin A.
 
Palming relaxes the eyes; it preserves the eyesight and relaxes the nervous system as well.

Once in a month clean your eyes with few drops of anti bacterial drops.

Close your eyes as tight as possible and squeeze your eyes which help in muscle contraction, hold this for three times and then blink several times.

Position a dot on the wall and look straightly first and then move the eyeballs to the right corner and then to the left corner and blink several times. Repeat this for four times and then place your palms on the eyes and rest.
In clockwise and anticlockwise direction rotate your eyes for proper blood supply and then blink several times, repeat it for five times each side and then close your eyes and take a deep breath.
  
Sit straight and breathe deeply, move your eyes up as far as possible and down as far as possible and relax your eyes by blinking several times and repeat this for four times.
