Scroll TikTok and instagram may seem fun. Although, it creates a certain dependency. Not only he shortens your memory and gives you concentration problems, but it also greatly damages your eyesight. We are not saying that you should do against the use of your phone or your computer!

Whether buying special glasses for the screen, consulting a doctor, using eye drops and doing eye gymnastics, you need to take care of your eyes. If your budget is tight and buying special eyeglasses seems unlikely, yoga exercises for the eyes come in handy! Here’s everything you need to know about them!

Does it work ?

Eye yoga involves focusing on near or far objects. It also involves moving the eyes left up, right and down. Performing small, purposeful movements calms your body, which helps you deal with anxiety and the stresshypertension and headache. Also, practicing concentration can help improve your brain’s response – it becomes more attentive to what you see. Moreover, many studies have been carried out. Is it just a trend with no real effect? Well, the results are both positive and negative! Here’s the gist:

• Eye yoga does not work for nearsighted people. On the other hand, the results are more positive for hyperopes.
• It does not prevent glaucoma, but it does lower intraocular pressure, which slows it down.
• Restores eye strength.
• Makes the eyes less tired.

We’re not claiming that eye yoga will fix your eyesight. Each body reacts differently. If you have vision problems and are worried, contact a professional!
