Question 1

will eye exercised improve or help your eye vision?

Accepted Answer

No: Practitioners of this termed vision therapy, claim many things.  It is possible there is some increase in visual efficiency but no increase in basic vision is possible.  Eye exercises have never been proven to help.

Question 2

does any eye exercise program actually work?

Accepted Answer

No: Except in children with lazy eye.

Question 3

need glasses. that is why i'm wondering should i do some sort of eye exercise or go to to an eye specialist?

Accepted Answer

Eye specialist: You need a good evaluation of your vision, and an eye specialist (ophthalmologist, or optometrist also) can do this kind of exam.  Eye exercises do not provide the same results that well-prescribed eyeglasses or contacts will be able to deliver.

Question 4

eye exercise for constant exotropia in both eyes?

Accepted Answer

See eyespecialist: Eye exercise most probably will not help in your case having constant exotropia for long time. You should consult  eye specialist for exotropia of both eyes ,After examination of your eyes he will suggest you  treatment -ylike surgical procedure to correct exotropia

Question 5

how much time do i need to do the "lazy eye, eye exercise" to make it better?

Accepted Answer

Lazy eye: the sooner you diagnose lazy eyes, the better the outcome. If diagnosed after the age of 6, the recovery is not well.

Question 6

i have to be on the computer for work for most of my day. is there an eye exercise that i can do very quickly to alleviate the strain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Looking off into the distance may relax the ciliary muscles, which can spasm during extensive computer use. A study in japan also indicated that warm compresses applied to the eyelids for a few minutes also reduced computer-related fatigue. Low blink rates during computer use can result in dry eyes, so application of artifical tears may also be helpful.

Question 7

i have combined myopia and astigmatism, so some people said that eye exercise can fix my vision without eye surgery is that true?

Accepted Answer

No: Eye exercises do not help or fix refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, ; astigmatism).

Question 8

what can have caused my pressure in eye after exercise?

Accepted Answer

See below: Possibly just increased heart rate with pulsations of the blood vessels behind and within your eyes.  However, if significant pain, see your doc.

Question 9

while doing eye rotation exercise it suddenly caused jerk to the eye. maybe i did it little faster. my left eye was paining slightly for sometime now it's fine. i'm high myopic. did the sudden jerk to the eyes causes any problem to the eyes?

Accepted Answer

: I would regard that as a muscular strain that should not cause any permanent damage. Unless you've been told you have weakness of eye muscles, I don't see the point of doing rotation eye exercises. They don't improve nearsightedness, farsightedness, glaucoma,etc. Your ophthalmologist can validate this advice.

Question 10

i get occasional swelling over one eye during exercise also happened during series of sneezes. happens 4-6 weeks do get allergy shots.  mri was clean?

Accepted Answer

Allergic: That fact that the swelling is associated with sneezing suggests that these are allergic reaction although having unilateral swelling is unusual.  If the swelling occurs only when exercising outdoors, airborne allergens may well be the cause as well.  Allergy shots works about 80% of the time and usually takes months to become effective. Try antihistamine by mouth or eye drop prior to exercise.
