Rub your palms together vigorously until they generate warmth.
Close your eyes and gently place your warm palms over your closed eyes without applying pressure.
Take a few deep breaths and allow the warmth to relax your eye muscles.
Eye Circles
Sit comfortably and focus on a point directly in front of you.
Slowly move your eyes in a circular motion, first clockwise and then counterclockwise.
Repeat this for a few rounds, and remember to blink between circles.
Blinking
Sit or stand comfortably with a straight spine.
Blink your eyes rapidly for about 20 seconds.
Close your eyes and allow them to rest for a moment before repeating the process.
Up and down viewing
Sit with a straight spine and look up without moving your head.
Then, slowly lower your gaze to the floor.
Repeat this movement for a few cycles to stretch and strengthen your eye muscles.
