Eye Strain Relief Exercises Part 2 | Massage, Acupressure, Stretches, Movement |

Eyestrain happens when your eyes get tired from overuse or intense use. This can lead to an ocular headache. Super bright artificial lights, computer screens, long stretches of night driving, etc. can lead to painful eyes.

Some of the symptoms you may have with eye strain include:
Sore and fatigued eyes
Burning or itchy eyes
Dry or even watery eyes
Visual changes including blurriness or double vision
Headache especially around the eyes and temples
Soreness in the upper neck and trapezius muscle
Sensitivity to light
Difficulty concentrating
Heavy eyelids

We will hope to affect your ciliary muscle which is an intrinsic muscle of your eye that helps your lens accommodation to view near and far distances. We will be massaging and exercising your extraocular muscles which are responsible for eyeball rotation. These include your superior and inferior oblique muscles as well as your lateral, medial, superior and inferior rectus muscles.

When you keep our eyes focused on an object like a digital screen at only one distance, your eye musculature can spasm, weaken and fall into patterns that decrease your eye's ability to do into the ranges of motion that are not frequently being used. I hope to challenge your eyes with this video. So, you may feel them working and getting temporarily sore. If this lasts more than an hour after doing the video, go easier or slower and gradually increase in intensity.
