The role of eye gymnastics for children. Exercise and relaxation will bring back good vision! In what cases do you need gymnastics for the eyes
Vision - one of the five senses with which a person learns, perceives and explores the world around him.
Causes of visual impairment.
Modern conditions in which children grow up do not allow protecting them from harmful influences. Cartoons that develop computer games, TV - all this is an integral part of the life of a preschooler. We will not talk about the dangers of the TV and the computer, but we will try to adapt to the current circumstances. It is in such conditions that it is necessary to learn how to protect eyesight.
Visual gymnastics - a wonderful assistant in the fight for good eyesight. The main task of gymnastics for the eyes of preschoolers is to form the correct idea that vision needs to be taken care of. Regular gymnastics for the eyes increases the efficiency of vision, improves blood circulation, and prevents the development of certain eye diseases. In addition, any educational material is absorbed more efficiently. Often underestimating the use of visual gymnastics for children can be a serious miscalculation in working with babies. In addition, this method is a kind of relaxation for the nervous system of the child, it helps the brain to better process the information received through vision. When instilling in children simple exercises for eye gymnastics, teachers should be reminded that a child can perform this gymnastics at home. Getting the skill of performing visual gymnastics, the child performs it within a few minutes. The child's eyes rest.
Which kids need eye gymnastics?
Many parents believe that their children, who have 100% vision, are not at risk. By no means! A child's vision is a fragile instrument that requires care, attention and, above all, constant monitoring.
Visual gymnastics in preschool educational institution
Visual gymnastics for the eyes in a preschool educational institution can be carried out in various forms:
- Game five-minute with different items;
- Use of visual simulators (individual, wall-mounted);
- Reliance on the scheme and visual marks;
- Gymnastics according to verbal instructions, with poems.
Gymnastics for the eyes of a preschooler
Exercises to relieve eye strain:
1. Stand freely, arms along the body. Raise your shoulders as high as possible. Keeping them in this position, pull back as far as possible and return to the starting position. Make circular movements with your shoulders. Repeat 10 times.
2. Stand freely, arms along the body. Raise your shoulders as high as possible. Holding them in this position, pull back, then move forward, lower, returning to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.
3. Lower your chin to your chest, relax your neck, then raise your head and tilt it back as far as possible. Repeat 5-6 times.

5. In a sitting position. Turn your head as much as possible to the left, return to the starting position. Turn your head as much as possible to the right, return to the starting position. Repeat turns 5 times at a slow pace.
A set of exercises for the eyes.
1. In the corners of the room, under the ceiling, place colored cardboard circles of different sizes. Invite the children to look at the left circle for a few seconds, then at the right one, do this exercise 3-5 times, make sure that only the eyes work for the children, after 3-5 exercises close the eyes for 10 seconds, repeat the exercise 3 times.
2. To relax the muscles that support the eyeball, it is proposed to close and relax the eyes for 10 seconds.
3. To perform the following visual gymnastics exercise for children, place your hands under your chin to prevent head movement. The child should raise his eyes and look up, then down 4 times, a break of 10 seconds, then to the right, to the left 4 times, a break of 10 seconds. 4. Finding toys in the space of the group; fixation of the gaze on the object.
We invite children to find a toy with their eyes. Examine it for 5-7 seconds.
5. Exercise "Mark on glass"(a small silhouette of a toy can act as a label).Look at the mark on the glass from a distance of 30-35 cm for 4-6 seconds. Then look at the object behind the glass (tree, house, car, etc.) for 4-6 seconds. Then alternately look at the mark, then at the object. Repeat for about 30-40 seconds.
6. Slow blinking for 10 seconds.Butterflies flew, flapped their wings. Children perform a wave of eyelashes.

Toddlers quickly get tired of doing the same exercises. Therefore, they can be offered eye exercises in a playful way.
A set of exercises:
“Fun week”
All week on - order,

Good afternoon, dear readers!
Come on, admit it, who does exercises every day?
I'm going to confess publicly. I have long wanted to start such a useful habit, but everything does not work out - either laziness, then there is no time, then I forget.
The maximum that I can do is to squat a couple of times and wave my hands in front of the bed, where my still sleepy daughter is sitting. She will be very amused by such unusual mother's actions.
And few people think that the eyes also need charging. They work all day, and we often, instead of letting them rest, sit down in front of the computer, turn on the TV, launch the toy on the phone.
But the implementation of simple exercises does not take much time, they can be done "in between times."
Such a charge will provide invaluable assistance to our hardworking eyes.
I found a very interesting article on this topic, which talks about the importance of eye training, as well as effective exercises.
Some eye problems can be successfully dealt with with the help of special exercises. The ophthalmologist of the highest category of the polyclinic of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Irina Alekseevna Kostyreva, talks about “eye gymnastics”.
There is a wonderful prevention aimed at maintaining visual acuity and relieving the strain of tired eyes. This is a charger.
A set of simple exercises perfectly trains the eye muscle, prevents its spasms. Gymnastics brings the most tangible benefits to young people - with its help they can even improve the quality of vision.
And for those who are older, regular performance of the “eye” complex will help slow down progressive myopia and quickly relieve fatigue.
Gymnastics for the eyes should be done twice a day, preferably at least 3-5 minutes.
Eye prophylactic complex
Relaxation. Close your eyes tightly and try to relax. To perform this exercise, it is worth remembering some pleasant moments of life: a love date or the first smile of a son, a splash of the gentle sea or a forest walk. Every person has their own happy memories. 
Circular movements. Make circular movements with open eyes: first clockwise, then counter-clockwise.
Movement in straight lines. Intensively move your eyes horizontally: right-left, and vertically: up and down.
Blink. Intensely squeeze and unclench your eyes.
Diagonals. Direct your gaze to the lower left corner, that is, look, as it were, at the left shoulder and focus on this point. After three blinks, repeat to the right.
Mirror Diagonal. Similarly to the previous exercise, squint your eyes to the upper left corner, then to the right.
"Dark Relaxation" Place warm palms over your closed eyes, fingers crossed on the forehead. Relax and try to achieve deep blacks.
Blink. Blink your eyes lightly and quickly at least a hundred times.
"Slanting eyes". Bring your eyes to your nose. To perform this exercise, put the tip of your index finger to the bridge of your nose and look at it - then the eyes will easily “connect”.
"Close-far, or the work of the eyes at a distance." Go to the window, carefully look at a close detail. It can be a leaf of a tree growing outside the window, or a small paper dot glued to the glass at eye level. Then, over the selected point, draw an imaginary straight line that goes into the distance, and direct your gaze far ahead, trying to see the most distant objects.
Execution rules
- All exercises, except for the last one, are performed while sitting, in a comfortable position. The back is straight, the neck and shoulders are as relaxed as possible.
- In exercises where the eyes move in certain directions, fix the final point of each movement for a few seconds. Each such exercise should be repeated at least 7-10 times in each direction.
- Exercises can be performed in different sequences and an unlimited number of times.
- It is worth choosing a few exercises and repeating them during the working day. Such a mini muscle exercise is especially necessary for everyone working at a computer.
- It is worth introducing gymnastics of the cervical region into the “production complex” - tilting the head forward, left and right and circular rotations.

In the orbit are 8 muscles involved in the movement of the eyeball. Exercise for the eyes is primarily a training of the eye muscles.
The ideal option is morning exercises for the eyes. It has been scientifically proven that the muscles of the eyes do not rest at all during sleep.
People who work at a computer for a long time often feel fatigue in their eyes, various discomforts, and in the future, a decrease in vision.
In order for your eyes to be beautiful and attractive, and it was simply impossible to tear yourself away from your gaze, it is necessary to carry out exercises for the eyes. Exercising for the eyes with myopia will help not only relieve eye strain, but also develop eye muscles.
Exercise for the eyes is very useful for those who work at the computer, rewrite the text, make small sketches, edit articles and many other things that have a harmful effect on the eyes, making the eyes tired and strained.
Exercise for the eyes is a special set of exercises that allows you to prevent eye fatigue or recover from long work that requires concentration of vision (for example, at a computer).
All exercises for the eyes are quite simple, and for greater efficiency, they need to be done away from the monitor or in a completely different room.
Exercise for the eyes of yoga was invented in the most ancient times, at least it does not look painfully modern. Be sure to do it every day, without missing a single day. They say that one day of skipping and you can lose the effect achieved over the past couple of weeks. I don’t know if this is true, because the warning is so scary that I don’t even want to check.
Charging can be done at any time of the day, the main thing is at least four hours after eating.
All exercises, except for the last one, are best performed while sitting in the lotus position.
If this is too difficult for you, just sit comfortably with your back straight.
Between exercises, let your eyes rest by relaxing them and blinking frequently. Exercise for the eyes in the morning is good to continue with water procedures: cold water perfectly stimulates the organs of vision.
Exercise N1
Take a calm breath through your nose and close your eyes. During a slow exhalation (also through the nose), massage the closed eyelids with the pads of the palms - those that are located closer to the wrist - towards the nose and away from the nose. On a pause after exhalation, without opening your eyes, place the palms of both hands over your eyes, nose and mouth so that no light enters your eyes. Stay in this position for as long as you can without inhaling the air. Then, without taking your hands off your face, open your eyes and take a calm breath through your nose. And on a slow exhalation through the nose, open your palms so that the little fingers are, as it were, the axis of their rotation. This exercise can be done separately from all the others at any time of the day - if your eyes are very tired. The exercise is performed once.
Exercise N2
Continue to sit with your eyes open and look straight ahead. Make a calm and slow exhalation through the nose and at the same time look as far down to the left as possible (lower left corner). Fix your gaze for as long as you can without inhaling. On a slow breath through the nose, return your gaze to its original position. The exercise is performed once.
Exercise N3
It is performed in the same way as the previous one, only the gaze must be directed to the extreme right lower corner.
Exercise N4
It is performed in the same way as the previous one, but the gaze should be directed to the tip of the nose. Once is enough.
Exercise N5
The same thing, but the gaze should be directed to the mid-eyebrow.
Exercise N6
This exercise is a rotational movement of the eyes: first, in the left extreme lower corner; then on the mid-eyebrow; then to the right extreme lower corner; and finally on the tip of the nose; then again to the extreme lower left corner - and so on. The exercise is performed on a pause after exhalation for as long as you can not breathe.
Exercise N7
Do the same rotational movements with your eyes as in the previous exercise, but in the opposite direction: the right extreme lower corner - between the eyebrows - the left extreme lower corner - the tip of the nose.
Exercise N8
Repeat exercise #1.
Exercise N9
To complete this exercise, you need to go to the bathroom. Stand in front of the sink and turn on the cold water. Take a mouthful of water so that your cheeks swell up like a hamster's. Lean forward with your eyes wide open.
Now take handfuls of water from the tap and splash it into your eyes wide open, without blinking, until the water in your mouth warms up (10-20 times). It's not easy, and it will take several days before you manage not to blink.
The exercise is performed once on a pause after exhalation. Now spit the water out of your mouth and massage your closed eyes.
Cold water in the mouth stimulates blood circulation in the nose and eyes, improving vision. Rinsing the eyeballs with water acts as a massage, has a beneficial effect on blood circulation and on the eye muscles, and tones the nerve endings.
Now look at yourself in the mirror. If you have bright red eyes like a rabbit, don't be scared - it means that you did all the exercises correctly. The redness will go away very quickly.
This exercise is not only for people suffering from myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism. Even if your eyes are absolutely healthy, you can do it as a preventive measure.

Eyes need to rest
One of the causes of fatigue and eye disease is constant monotonous stress. For example, working at a computer, reading, leisure time watching TV.
Therefore, one of the effective measures to prevent vision problems is specialized sets of exercises for the eyes.
Of course, we must not forget about the general well-being, general physical activity. But today we will talk about exercises for the eyes.
Improving blood supply to the eye muscles
When the eyes receive a monotonous load - the muscles seem to “freeze” in one position, blood supply is disrupted. And as you know, the most effective method of preventing "stagnant" phenomena is adequate physical activity.
Exercises for the eyes will strengthen the blood vessels, relax the muscles of the eye. So, let's begin!
External eye muscle training
In a sitting position (head is motionless), slowly look from the floor to the ceiling and back, then from left to right and back (repeat 10-12 times).
Circular eye movements(head is motionless) in one and the other direction - repeat 4-6 times.
Frequent blinking for 20 seconds
Training of the internal muscles of the eye. Leaf on the window
We attach a small sticky note “for notes” to the window. We write something pleasant on it, for example: "HE LOVES ME!!!" We move a meter away from the window.
Alternately, we focus on the leaf, then on what is outside the window.
We repeat first for 2-3 minutes, after a week of training, the time can be increased gradually to 10 minutes. Within a month, you will notice an improvement in vision.
Training of the internal muscles of the eye. ball game
Football, volleyball, tennis and even the simple dodgeball that we played in childhood are not only a good exercise for the arms and legs, but also exercise for the eyes.
The ball that you have to watch closely is a moving target, which allows you to quickly refocus your eyes. And refocusing is the best eye muscle training!
So, we arm ourselves with this knowledge, and at any opportunity we take a racket in our hands, go to the football field or the yard basketball court - TREAT EYES!
"Finger gymnastics"
Strengthen the muscles of the eyes will help ... your own fingers. All that is needed is that standing or sitting, place the thumb of the right hand along the midline of the face at a distance of 20-30 cm from the eyes, look at it with two eyes for 3-5 seconds, cover the left eye with the palm of the left hand for 3-5 seconds, remove the palm, look again with both eyes at the finger for 3-5 seconds. The same - changing hands. Then close your eyes, relax your eyelids, massage them with your fingers, open your eyes and blink quickly.
This improves blood circulation and improves the circulation of intraocular fluid.
Strengthen the eye muscles
These exercises help to strengthen the muscles around the eyes, maintain the elasticity of the skin of the eyelids, slow down the aging process and “sagging”.
First, open your eyes wide, then close your eyelids tightly. Repeat with an interval of 30 seconds 5-6 times. Then - look up-down-right-left without turning your head.
The next exercise is to look down to the upper right corner of the room, down again and to the upper left corner. Repeat the same for the bottom corners. At the same time, do not turn your head - let only your eyes work.
Eyebrow massage
In Eastern healing methods, gymnastics (internal work of the body) is inseparable from massage (external influence on the body). So we will adopt the following methods of Chinese gymnastics "do-in".
So, close our eyes and with the back of the second phalanges of the thumbs stroke the eyebrows from the bridge of the nose to the temples and back. It is necessary to act with little pressure. Repeat 20-30 times.
"Watch your hand!"
Stretch your right hand to the side, fix your gaze on the fingertips (palm open), without turning your head. Then start slowly moving your hand in front of your face horizontally towards your left shoulder. Do not take your eyes off your fingertips.
Thus, the eyes will make a large semicircle, training the internal muscles. A similar movement of the hand and eyes is carried out in the opposite direction.
In total, you need to make 5 such movements in one direction, 5 in the other.
Relieve eye fatigue
Tired eyes? We need to help them relax! To begin, sit or lie down comfortably so that your head, neck, and shoulders feel comfortable.
We close our eyes, let them rest for a minute, then press the inner corners of the eyes with the pads of the thumb and forefinger.
We rest for another minute or two and continue to press with the fingertips - now on the points under the eyes. Here you can make circular movements of small amplitude. In no case do not "press"!
Exercises for beautiful eyes
In order to prevent the formation of wrinkles on the skin around the eyes (the so-called “crow's feet”), the pads of the thumbs are pressed on points located 1 cm from the outer corners of the eyes.
Pressing should continue for about 1 minute, then a 2-3 minute break. You need to repeat the exercise that activates the dosire points at least 3-4 times.

Why do you need gymnastics for the eyes
Tiredness and dry eyes are common, especially when working at a computer. Even no more than 3 hours for this useful technique can not only make the eyes watery, but also subsequently lead to myopia. Eye exercises will help to avoid fatigue, tone the muscles around the eyes and become a good prevention of myopia. The main thing is to remember that gymnastics needs to be made a habit. A single application, although it will alleviate the symptoms of fatigue, will not improve vision.
Eye exercises
Before starting the exercises, you need to turn away and give your eyes a rest for 2 minutes. To do this, you just need to close them and think about something good. During gymnastics, the back should be straight, and the head should be kept level and straight forward.
Now you need to change the focus of your vision. To do this, you need to find some point in the distance and look at it for about 5 minutes.
The next exercise is to move the eyes. To do this, you need to find the highest point and look at it. In this case, the position of the head cannot be changed. Now the eyes go down vertically until they reach the lowest point. You need to repeat the exercise at least 10 times. Then an identical exercise is done, but the gaze is already transferred from the extreme left point to the extreme right.
The next exercise is very similar to the previous 2. But the initial position should be in the upper right corner, and the eye movement should be diagonal. After repeating the exercise 10 times, a mirror image of the exercise is done. Those. from top left to bottom right. There is no need to rush through these exercises. You need to do them at an average pace.
The last 2 exercises are not based on a change of focus.
The index finger is extended in front of the nose at arm's length. The gaze must be riveted to the tip of the finger and not taken away until the end of the exercise. Now the finger begins to slowly move in a straight line towards the face until it touches the tip of the finger. Looking at the approaching finger, the eyes begin to squint a little towards the inner eyelid. When the finger touches the nose, it begins its movement back. The exercise is repeated at least 6 times.
For the next eye exercise, you will need to find some point in the far distance. It can be a flower pot on the opposite wall or a window in the opposite house.
Having chosen a point, the index finger is extended in front of it at a distance of 10 cm from the nose. The gaze must be transferred at least 10 times from the far point to the finger and back.
In conclusion, you need to blink your eyes as quickly as possible for 1 minute.
The visual apparatus is subjected to constant stress throughout the day. This is due to the peculiarities of blood circulation, the work of refractive structures and auxiliary muscle components.
Eye exercises can be especially useful for children, since in childhood the organ of vision is most vulnerable to the action of pathological factors. Gymnastics for the eyes in kindergarten should include the most effective exercises.
The visual apparatus is subjected to constant static and dynamic stress throughout the day. Static load is understood as long reading, work with a computer, and dynamic load is associated with constant changes in curvature.
As a result, the greatest influence is on the lens, accessory muscles and the retina of the eye. Eye exercises can not only restore the working capacity of the main structures of the eyeball, but also improve blood circulation.
To understand the importance of visual gymnastics, one should pay attention to the main negative effects of prolonged exercise. These include:
- Dry eye is the lack of fluid in the cornea. This condition is manifested by discomfort, pain in the eye area and a temporary deterioration in vision. Usually, dry eyes are caused by insufficient blinking while working with a computer, since it is during the closing of the eye that moisture occurs.
- High photosensitivity - the appearance of unpleasant sensations when exposed to light on the eye. This phenomenon is often due to prolonged exposure to low light conditions.
- Fatigue of the muscular structures of the eyeball. This condition is associated with pain and discomfort when moving the eyes and disturbance of accommodation.
- Blurred or double vision. These negative effects can be associated with both pathologies and temporary visual impairments. Sometimes this condition appears with insufficient blood supply to the structures of the eyeball.
- Various diseases: myopia, astigmatism, amblyopia and others.
Many ophthalmologists do not recognize the effectiveness of eye gymnastics, but this technique is not intended for the treatment of already identified ophthalmic pathologies.
Regular exercise will help the visual apparatus adapt to various daily loads.
Types of gymnastics
Gymnastics is aimed at strengthening muscles The choice of gymnastic technique for the eyes depends on the preventive goal, the identified diseases and the type of load. So, depending on the desired effect, gymnastics can be daily or less constant.
Daily gymnastics allows you to adapt the visual apparatus to heavy loads, including constant work with text. Children are not recommended to spend more than an hour reading a day, but sometimes such a load can be significant.
As already mentioned, the load can be static and dynamic. In preschool children, a dynamic load predominates, associated with a constant change in the viewing distance and adaptation to various lighting conditions.
In this case, a set of gymnastic exercises should be aimed at relaxing the structures of the eyeball and improving blood supply.
Gymnastic technique also varies widely depending on the diagnosed diseases. So, for example, it is usually caused by an abnormal structure of the muscles of the eye or their spasm, so the exercises should be aimed at correcting the muscle load.
Examples of specific exercises
Gymnastics for the eyes The most revealing example of gymnastics for the eyes is a standard set of exercises that takes into account both the work of the optical structures of the eyeball and the load on the muscles.
The complex includes the following exercises:
- Soft and gentle massage of the eyeball with fingertips.
- Turning the eyeball up, down, right and left with the eye closed.
- Alternate focusing on the farthest visible object and on the closest one. To do this, you can stand in front of the window and hold a pencil in front of you.
- Rotation of the eyeball for muscle training.
- Alternate squeezing and relaxing circular.
This gymnastic technique is best suited for daily use. These exercises are especially useful after reading or working with a computer.
Other exercises:
- Stretching for the muscles of the eyeball. To do this, you first need to look straight ahead and then switch the view as far as possible to the right or left without turning your head. It is recommended to perform several times in turn.
- Blink. It is necessary to blink several times after a certain period of time. Such a gymnastic recommendation should not come as a surprise, since many children and adults forget to blink during prolonged static exercise. This is a useful exercise for moisturizing the eye after reading or working on the computer. If the child complains of pain in the eyes and constantly squints, then this exercise is recommended to be performed several times a day.
- Turning the head to the right, left, up and down. This exercise must be performed carefully so as not to damage the vertebral joints. Gymnastics for the neck helps to improve the blood supply to the eyeball.
To improve overall muscle tone and normalize blood circulation, it is also recommended to perform a small exercise 1-2 times a day. Physical exercise should not be limited to the muscles of the eyeball.
Visual gymnastics perfectly complements other ways to prevent the development of eye diseases. If disease prevention is limited to only occasional exercises, then the effectiveness of eye protection will be quite low.
- Food. For children, the norms of an age-related diet are recommended, taking into account the characteristics of a certain stage of development of the body. It is also necessary to pay attention to special products that improve the functioning of the visual apparatus. The diet should include leafy green vegetables, fish products, citrus fruits, wheat bread and berries. These products contain the most important substances - vitamin A, zinc, lutein and fatty acids.
- Regular visits to the ophthalmologist. The standard inspection procedure should include such instrumental studies as and. Early diagnosis of diseases allows you to choose effective methods of vision correction.
- Timely treatment of diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
Thus, special exercises for the eyes, coupled with other methods of prevention, will help prevent visual impairment. Gymnastics for the eyes in kindergarten should be represented by the most effective exercises.
Gymnastics for the eyes - 7 best exercises in the video:
Gymnastics for the eyes is a training basis for preventive actions for the muscles of the organs of vision. The development of eye muscles will allow the child to have no problems with vision and eye fatigue in the future. The entire comprehensive eye program is designed to:
- normalization of the nervous system;
- improving brain function;
- relieve stress on the optic nerve;
- to prevent vision loss.
Exercises and gymnastics for the eyes can begin to be performed by children from 2-3 years and older. This is the best option for the prevention of diseases of the visual analyzer.
Complex, daily exercises are developed by ophthalmologists to reduce fatigue and tension in the fundus and prevent the development of myopia. Gymnastics for the eyes for children will help prepare for school work and reduce fatigue and redness of the eyeball. These exercises are necessary in cases:
- farsightedness;
- myopia;
- fatigue and overexertion of the optic nerve;
- long-term stay in front of the TV or computer;
- hereditary predisposition to loss of vision;
- diseases of internal organs;
- with astigmatism
Before choosing the right technique for the eyes, you need to consult an ophthalmologist and choose a more correct option. If there are no contraindications, you can start performing simple, uncomplicated exercises with your child.
Useful gymnastics for the eyes should be performed every day, gradually increasing and complicating the load. Gymnastics for the eyes of a child should be carried out for 3-5 minutes twice a day. So that the child does not forget and perform the exercises correctly, a set of exercises is best done with parents. You can perform gymnastics for the eyes by alternating mental and physical activity, with a clear control of the child being in front of a computer monitor, which is a negative factor that negatively affects eye health.
Types of exercises
The technique of gymnastic exercises for the eyes of children is divided into two complexes. It can be artistic when all the exercises are carried out orally in the form of a story or verse, which is more liked by younger children. At school, small physical education sessions can be held in the classroom, which will not only help preserve children's eyesight, but also slightly distract them from tedious activities, thereby having a significant impact on the development of memory and attention. In this action there will be not only interest, but also the benefits of gymnastics for the eyes. After doing the exercises, you can rub your eyes a little and blink - this will help relax the optic nerve.
The second type of classes takes place with the use of various auxiliary objects, such as pencils, cards, dividing lines drawn on a board or pieces of paper, the contour of which the child must repeat with his eyes. It is necessary to draw such lines and perform the action with the eyes within 30 seconds. You can correct and improve your vision using the computer program "PowerPoint", which was specially designed for such purposes. This option will be able to interest the child and help you perform the necessary exercises every day.
All visual exercises can be changed and adjusted by adding new game techniques. You can perform these exercises for children at school and at home. Thus, daily exercise for the eyes will help prevent the development of serious eye diseases in children, adolescents and adults.
