Question 1

what are good  eye exercises?

Accepted Answer

There are none.: With few exceptions, eye exercises have not been found useful in medical studies.  You don't really need to exercise your eyes anyway; they are used all day, every day, and if anything, they need a rest.

Question 2

can eye exercises help with esophoria?

Accepted Answer

Helps even more with: exophoria to train the eyes to see or pull together to see straight when you have intermittent exophoria.  Need to find degree of esophoria you have before entertaining eye exercises. Check with your eye specialist.

Question 3

can eye exercises improve the eye sight?

Accepted Answer

No: Eye exercises can make the eyes feel more comfortable, and might have some effect on eye misalignment, but they will not change the basic eye power needs for eyeglasses or contacts.

Question 4

could eye exercises help vision correction?

Accepted Answer

No evidence: This has  been a long standing hope of those who wear glasses that something simple like eye exercise can improve vision.  There is no evidence that this will work.  Don't spend any money on such programs.

Question 5

do eye exercises really help vision correction?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on how you define vision. Certain eye exercises can help one's ability to use the two eyes together and to improve the eye's focusing system. No eye exercises can improve visual acuity (your ability to resolve detail).

Question 6

how to reduce dark circles through eye exercises?

Accepted Answer

Does not work: Unfortunately eye exercises will not reduce dark circles. The most commonly performed treatments include in-office dermal filler treatments to plump up hollows under the eye or lower blepharoplasty to remove lower eyelid "bags.".

Question 7

are there any eye exercises to develop eye focusing?

Accepted Answer

Eye exercises: Eye exercises are typically not useful for eye development once the patient is older than 10-12 years old.  One exception is patients that develop issues with near focus and pencil pushups (focusing on a pencil being moved from distance to near while maintaining focus over and over).

Question 8

what are some good eye exercises to relieve tired eyes?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately none: The feeling of tired eyes is usually related to straining for long periods of time, as well as dry eyes.  The best way to help relieve the feeling is to take breaks when working - 5-10 minutes every hour - and to use lubricating eye drops.

Question 9

can eye exercises (yoga) work when eye power is unequal?

Accepted Answer

No: After we get in our teens, eye exercises will not help the power of the eyes.

Question 10

are there quick and easy eye exercises while i'm using my computer?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most important is to periodically (every 10-20 minutes) look away from the close computer screen and look off into the distance (across the room, out the window, etc.) for 5-10 seconds before resuming the computer work.  Be sure to see you doctor if your symptoms do not improve.
