subject: Eye Problems And Eye Exercises [print this page] Nearly each action taken by any individual helps move their lives. In turn, this kind of daily action relies highly on the eyes which make out all about the things going around. The eyes are so valuable that they can understand the surrounding environment within a fraction of a second. For the vast majority of human beings in the world, their both eyes work together, with the aid from muscles, nerves and brain. The eyes enable a person to get a full and clear view, at the same time adjusting to changes in climate and intensity of light. Normally-functioning eyes are capable enough of adapting to the changing climate and brightness so as to grant people correct information. However, a wide variety of eye problems may be caused if the muscles and nerves around the eyes are damaged.
There are several eye conditions associated with weak eye muscles and nerves. Some of them are temporary while the others are disappointingly permanent. For instance, irritation in eyes, red eyes and swollen eyes usually last a short time and will disappear on their own. It is helpful to splash fresh and cold water in order to ease these conditions. Unfortunately, some visual problems can persist for a long period or even last forever. Refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism are among the latter group. Even though they are quite bothersome and take longer time to diminish, there are claimed effective ways to exercise the eyes by strengthening the surrounding muscles through eye exercises.
Ordinary people can take an easy exercise that involves taking water in the mouth repeatedly, splash clean water on the eyes, and then throw out the water with a pressure from the mouth. A second exercise can be giving light massage with thumb and index finger on both eye-brows. It is also helpful by placing thumb and index finger on the cheek bone that is below the eyes and give light massage 45 times. Another simple eye exercise that is commonly utilized is palming, which requires a person to rub both palms 5-7 times and place them on the eyes.
