Reducing eye power is a priority for many using eyeglass or contacts. There are few ways to do this and we discuss them below in detail. 1. Surgical options If you are looking for ways to reduce the eye power, one option you have is to do it surgically. Lasik surgery has been around for decades now, and with recent advances, have become a breeze. Lasik surgery corrects the eye refraction to reduce your eye power and restore your vision to normal. If you want to explore this option, talk to your ophthalmogist to see if you are eligible for the surgery. 2. Non-surgical options Many believe that doing exercise regularly can improve vision over time. A number of exercise programs that have been developed and are recommended to be done regularly to reduce the power of your eye glasses. But such measures have not been scientifically validated. • Exercises Exercises help to rest eyes from the day-to-day strain. The increased time we spend on screen of various types has only aggravated the problem. • One of the most effective exercises is Palming. Here you start with deep breathing for few minutes and then close your eyes with your palms by forming a cup. Ensure that you blink freely and are touching the eyes only lightly. Rest you mind and eyes and relax for a few minutes. It works best you do this regularly during your day or when you would need a break • Another option is hydrotherapy, where you would place hot- and cold-water-soaked towels against your eyes alternatively to relieve the eyes. • Rapidly blink your eyes for 2--25 times, rest and repeat to rest your eyes. • Hold any object like a pen about an arm's length away. Focus on the object for 3-5 seconds, then move to another object hat is farther away and focus for few seconds. Repeat for few times. Doing these exercises regularly, say 15 minutes daily, would definitely relax and rejuvenate your eyes, and may also well reduce your eye glasses power. • Eat and sleep well Eating the right food is essential for maintaining health. Adequate consumption of nutrients like beta-cartoene will ensure that your eyes receive the nutrition necessary. Remaining hydrated is also important. As important is to get a good nights' sleep. • Reduce strain Since a large chunk of our daily time is spent on computers, TV, phones and tablets, we must take some precautions to restrict the strain in the eyes. This will reduce the chances of increasing your eye glasses power. Look away from the screen after 20 minutes of working and focus on something farther away for 20 seconds • Remember to blink regularly • Reduce the level of brightness of the screens These are some simple ways to reduce your eye glasses power. The surgical option for reducing eye power would be the permanent option while others like regular exercise may help do it over time.
