Special eye exercises help with tired, inflamed and dry eyes and can improve vision at dusk as well as mild squinting and visual impairment. The exercises support the treatment of night blindness, colour blindness and rod vision (astigmatism).
1 This exercise should always be done at the beginning and end of the eye exercises. Use the palms of your hands to shield your eyes from the light. Close your eyes and consciously relax in the dark.
2. hold one index finger in the centre in front of your eyes at a distance of ten centimetres. Hold the other index finger parallel at arm's length away. Now focus your eyes alternately on one finger. This exercise improves spatial vision.
3. direct your gaze into the distance without looking at anything in particular (let it wander). Do not consciously concentrate on any particular point.
4 Open and close your eyelids as quickly as possible for a few seconds.
5 Cover your eyes again with the palms of your hands and think of certain objects in as much colour and detail as possible.
6. gently pat the area around the eyes with your fingertips. Do not tap on the eyes themselves.
