Sitting for long hours in front of screens or reading without breaks can strain young eyes. But there are simple eye exercises that can help relax the eye muscles and improve vision. These are easy to do at home and can be part of a daily routine for kids and teens.
Rub hands together to warm them up, then place them over closed eyes—this calms the eyes and reduces strain.
Slow blink repeatedly to keep eyes moist and refreshed, especially after screen time.
Hold a pencil close to the face, then look at something far away—this improves focusing power and eye flexibility.
Move eyes slowly in a circular motion—first clockwise, then anti-clockwise—to strengthen eye muscles.
Imagine a big “8” lying sideways at a distance and trace it with your eyes—this improves eye control and movement.
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds—great for relaxing eyes during study or screen time.
Hold a pencil at arm’s length and slowly bring it towards the nose while focusing—this improves close-up vision.
