Can eye exercises help eyesight?
Many eye exercises are presented as natural methods to improve vision and overcome myopia problems. The Bates Method suggests eye rest, movement and visualization techniques to reshape the eyeball and improve vision. Yan Bao Jian Cao suggests massage and acupressure as solutions to reduce fatigue and eye problems.
However, these exercises have not been proven to produce concrete results: the testimonials circulating are either undocumented or refer to a placebo effect. Although “vision therapy” is a field of optometry that treats problems with eye alignment, visual tracking and eye fatigue, there is no good evidence to prove that eye exercises can affect vision.
It is impossible to correct vision problems without the help of an eye doctor, and there are no quick and easy solutions to solve them. By adopting healthy eating habits, however, you can help keep your eyes healthy naturally. As always, we recommend that you consult your eye doctor of choice.
