How to heal strabismus with eye exercises naturally
Healing or managing strabismus (commonly known as crossed eyes or squint) with eye exercises involves techniques designed to strengthen the eye muscles, improve coordination, and enhance the brain's ability to process visual information. Strabismus occurs when the eyes don't look in the same direction at the same time due to imbalanced eye muscles or neurological issues. While severe cases may require medical intervention, such as surgery or specialized glasses, certain exercises can be beneficial for mild cases or as a complementary approach to traditional treatments. Here's a guide on how to potentially manage strabismus with natural eye exercises:
1. Pencil Pushups
This exercise aims to improve convergence, the ability of the eyes to focus on a near object together.
Hold a pencil at arm's length, with the tip facing you.
Slowly bring the pencil closer to your nose while keeping your eyes focused on the tip.
Stop once you see double or can't keep the pencil in focus.
Repeat the exercise for 10-15 repetitions, several times a day.
2. Brock String
The Brock String exercise helps with binocular vision, teaching the eyes to focus on the same point in space.
Secure one end of a long string to a fixed point and hold the other end against your nose.
Place several colored beads at various distances along the string.
Focus on one bead at a time, aiming to see the string form an "X" as it crosses at the bead.
Practice this for a few minutes daily, focusing on different beads.
3. The Dot Card
This exercise enhances the ability of the eyes to work together.
Create a card with a series of dots or small images.
Hold the card at eye level and slowly move it closer to your face, focusing on keeping the dots in a single image.
Once the images double or become difficult to focus, move the card away again.
Perform this exercise for several minutes each day.
4. Barrel Cards
Barrel cards are used to improve eye alignment and focusing.
Create or obtain a card with three barrels printed at different sizes.
Hold the card at eye level and focus on the smallest barrel until it is seen as one image with both eyes.
Move to the medium and then the largest barrel, attempting to maintain a single image.
Practice this exercise daily to improve coordination and focusing.
5. Palming
While not an exercise to directly correct strabismus, palming can help relax the eyes, which is essential for overall eye health.
Rub your hands together to generate warmth.
Close your eyes and cover them with your palms without pressing on the eyelids.
Breathe deeply and relax in this position for a few minutes.
Conclusion
Eye exercises can be a beneficial component of a comprehensive approach to managing strabismus. Consistency and persistence are key, as improvements may take time to manifest. It's crucial to note that these exercises are not a guaranteed cure and should not replace professional medical advice or treatments. Always consult with an eye care professional or a specialist in vision therapy to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for strabismus, tailored to your specific needs.
