There are several ancient practices which could be followed to keep your eyes healthy. Yogic eye exercises when done on a regular basis are a gentle, effective way to prevent development of vision problems. The simple yoga exercises described here can, no-doubt, prove useful in maintaining healthy eyesight. •Sit in Vajrasana by folding knees behind and sit on your legs. For those who find this pose difficult, you could choose another comfortable position, but your back should remain straight. •Light a lamp/candle at a distance of two feet at the eye level. Stare at the bluish centre of the flame with a steady gaze. Continue staring, even if the eyes start watering. You can do this for about 10 minutes to begin with, and slowly increase the duration until the time you feel comfortable.
•Then slowly get up and fill your mouth with water. Keeping this water in your mouth, wash eyes with tap water. Then spit the water out. This water will be warm as heat gets released from the body. This has to be done twice or until the water temperature gets normal. This is a must after this particular kriya.
