Sitting At Your Desk For Long? These 7 Eye Exercises Can Help!

In today's digital era, people spend maximum time sitting in front of their desks at the office.

Over time, this can lead to painful eyes and serious eye issues. Here are seven desk exercises you can do to improve your eye health.

While sitting at your desk, you can blink your eyes rapidly for 20 seconds to refresh and moisturise them in the office.

You can also try rolling your eyes slowly clockwise and then counterclockwise to improve flexibility and reduce strain.

Another exercise is to shift focus by alternating between focusing on a distant object and a nearby object to exercise your eye muscles.

You can also use the palming technique by rubbing your palms together to generate warmth, then gently cupping your eyes with them for a few seconds to relax.

Another exercise to maintain focus is to hold a pen at arm's length and focus on its tip, then slowly bring it closer to your nose while maintaining focus.

Many exercise trainers and experts suggest the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to reduce eye strain from prolonged screen use.

Lastly, you can do eye relaxation techniques by closing your eyes and taking deep breaths, imagining a peaceful scene to relax your eyes and mind. You will feel the difference.
