• Eye Blinking: Eye Blinking is the blink of an eye. This is a simple but very effective exercise. The surface of the eye is clean when we blink. Blinking of the eyelids retains moisture in the eyes.

In this case, take a short break and blink your eyes so that the eyes get rest.

The following steps should be taken while doing this exercise.

⃟ Sit comfortably and look straight ahead.

⃟ Close your eyes slowly. Keep your eyes closed for 1 to 2 seconds.

⃟ Slowly open your eyes.

Do steps 2 and 3, 20 times.

• Palming: Palming is another simple exercise for the eyes. This exercise helps to reduce eye strain and relaxes your eyes. Eye irritation starts after working on computer for a long time or using mobile for a long time. At such times, rubbing your palms against each other and placing them on the eyes gives rest to the eyes.

Take the following steps to exercise palming.
