Almost 90% of the world population is facing with vision problem. Today we find small children wearing eyeglasses as an aid to improve their vision. The most common reason behind this is the normal strain of daily life and the modern technologies that we stare at constantly-T.V., computers or mobile phones. All these stress our eyes beyond the normal para meters which results in decrease in the vision. So people take the help of the eye glasses to rectify their vision. But the fact is that while glasses and contacts may help one see more clearly right now, their eyes are constantly changing and they will never be able to find the perfect prescription to adjust for these changes.
It is now proved that your vision can be affected by many numbers of things -including the weather, your mood, your mental state, and anything else that can be distracting you. This means that your eyesight doesn’t just change from year to year, but from day to day as well. So it is always advisable to improve the vision naturally without glasses. But how to do it is a question asked frequently which is dealt with below:
1. Reduce the amount of stress in your life. Stress can be directly linked to the amount of strain you put on your whole body, and it definitely affects the eyes as well.
2. Do not keep staring at a thing for a long period of time. Relax your eyes frequently if you have long working hours demanding continuous staring (like working on a computer, long hours of studies etc)
3. Soak triphala in a small pot at night. Distil the water early in the morning and wash your eyes with it. This will improve your vision.
4. Sit before the rising sun when the red and orange rays of the sun directly fall on your eyes closed
5. Consumption of 250ml of carrot juice daily also helps in improving the vision
6. Sit before the rising sun. Close your eyes and allow the red and orange rays of the sun directly fall on your closed eyes.
Other than this you can practice some simple exercises daily which will help in keeping your eyes healthy. Some of them are:
1. Concentrating on an object -Hold a pen in your hand and concentrate on its tip for a couple of seconds. This will strengthen your eye muscles
2. Rolling your eyes- Roll your eyeball, five to seven times from extreme right, up, extreme left and down. Repeat it in the reverse direction for equal number of times.
3. Palming-Sit comfortably in front of a table, resting your elbows on a stack of cushions high enough to bring your palms easily to your eyes without stooping forward or looking up. Close your eyes and cover them with your cupped palms to exclude light, avoiding pressure on the sockets. Breathe slowly and evenly, relaxing and imagining deep blackness. Begin by doing this for 10 minutes, two or three times a day.
4. Color Day- Choose a color and look out for it throughout the day. When you see that color, be aware of the color and experience it. For example, if you see a red car, experience the shade of red, not the car.
5. See Clearly Method – Hold a small object in your hand at arm’s length and slowly move it towards your face till it touches your nose,, ensuring that your eye follows the object and retains focus upon it. Slowly move it to its original position. Repeat it 5 times.
