Eye pushups – This exercise will help correct convergence insufficiency. Do 10 times.
Fast and tight blinking – Blinking is important as it helps spread hydrating substances like tears and mucus across your eyes. Do each type of blinking 10 times.
Tratak kriya (light gazing) – Purifies the eyes, strengthens the eye muscles and improves vision and memory. Do this for 5-7 minutes in the dark, she suggested.
