It is common knowledge that our muscles need exercise to stay strong and healthy. We run for stronger legs and heart muscles and we do weight training for the muscles in our arms and crunches for our abdominals—but what about the muscles in our eyes? Studies have shown that, when practiced regularly, eye muscle exercises can strengthen these muscles and increase blood flow. Although eye exercise routines will not relieve a person’s need for eyeglasses, they can sharpen vision and reduce eye strain, which allow the eyes to work more efficiently. Routines can be structured to target a specific eye problem as well, such as astigmatism, and may even relieve headache pain.
Eye exercises probably won’t improve your vision, but they can help with eye comfort, especially if your eyes get irritated at work. Some doctors specialize in a field of treatment called vision therapy. Vision therapy may include eye exercises, but only as part of a more specialized treatment program done under the supervision of an eye doctor, optometrist, or ophthalmologist. Please call our eye center today at 201-896-0096 to schedule an appointment. To reach our optical shop, call 201-896-0007. Our office is located at 20 Park Avenue, Lyndhurst. We accept most insurance. P.S. While eye exercises may not “cure” an eye condition, they can help slow the progress of myopia or nearsightedness.
