Exercises to correct myopia without glasses

To potentially help correct myopia without relying on glasses, there are several eye exercises and lifestyle changes you can incorporate based on insights from Andrew Huberman:

1. Eye Accommodation Exercises: Practice accommodation by looking at an object, like a pen, moving it close to your eyes until it becomes hard to focus, then move it away. This helps improve the flexibility of your eye muscles. Perform this exercise for 2-3 minutes every other day 1.

2. Outdoor Time: Spend at least two hours outside each day without sunglasses to reduce the risk of developing myopia. The natural sunlight exposure, even on cloudy days, is essential for eye health. This practice supports the muscle health of your eyes and helps adapt them to different focal lengths 2 3.

3. Near-Far Exercises: Engage in exercises that involve focusing on an object from near to far and back again. This is known as pencil push-ups, and it can strengthen your eye muscles. Perform this exercise for about 10 to 25 repetitions, once or twice a day, a few times a week 4.

4. Panoramic Vision Breaks: Every 30 minutes of focused work, take a break to look at the horizon or a distant object. Relax your eyes in a panoramic vision, which can alleviate strain and support ocular muscle relaxation 5.

It's beneficial to consult an ophthalmologist or a neuro-ophthalmologist for personalized advice, especially if you have significant vision issues or concerns.
