Question 10

does doing eye exercises have any effect on long term vision?

Accepted Answer

Maybe u can: Depending what type of disease/trouble you have..If it mostly control issues, certain exercises may help by improving eye movement control, eye focusing and coordination, and the teamwork of the two eyes. Refractive (how eyes reflect light) problems cannot be improved with exercises. I would check with your eye doc for an eval and be given appropriate therapy for you. Good luck.
