Our eyes serve as a window that allows us to see the beauty in the world. A problem with the eyes can cause major inconvenience and discomfort. Even though the eyes are one of the most important organs in the human body, eye conditions and diseases are among the most common health problems. There may be times when discomfort is not the result of an underlying condition, but rather of strain or fatigue that can be overcome by exercise.
Here are some exercises that may help your eyes:

There is no science to support the claim that eye exercises improve vision. Although eye exercises may not be effective, they won’t harm you either. It’s also essential to have your eyes checked regularly by an eye doctor. They can often identify and handle problems before noticeable symptoms begin.
