Relaxation Techniques
You can try some eye exercises to strengthen and relax surrounding tissues, as well as alleviate stress. Though eye strain is not a cause of glaucoma, people with this condition should decrease strain so that more tears can be produced to prevent dryness. Some simple exercises to try at home include:
– Use your palms to cover the closed eyes in several minutes. Sit comfortably on a pillow with a straight back. Simply breathe and relax in 5 to 10 minutes.
– Blinking can be a simple way to reduce eyestrain and lubricate your eyes. It can help evenly spread tear film and reduce dryness. Blinking can also push toxins out.[3]
