1. Simple Eye Rotation and Neck Massage Exercise
This initial exercise is straightforward: parents should encourage regular practice for effectiveness. Begin by stabilizing the child's head, then guide them to rotate their eyes left 25 times, followed by right 25 times, ensuring the head doesn't turn. Continue with vertical eye rotations—upward 25 times and downward 25 times, maintaining the head's position. During eye rotations, ensure the child's gaze extends as far as possible. Conduct this exercise twice daily, in the morning and evening, without missing sessions for promising results. If the child feels tension or soreness in the neck area, gently massage for 3-5 minutes for relief and enhanced eye health.
2. Regular Eye Massage Practice
Begin with warming your hands by rubbing them together, then gently place them over your child's eyes for about 10 seconds. Use your index and middle fingers to lightly press on the eyeball, ensuring it doesn't cause pain, and repeat this massage action three times. This eye massage is beneficial not only for nearsightedness improvement but also for relieving eye strain from excessive adjustment. For circular motion around the eyes, use your fingertips to massage gently in a circular motion for 10 seconds, both on the upper and lower eyelids. This stimulates the tear glands and relaxes the eye muscles. Additionally, press lightly between the temples with your index or middle finger for 4-5 seconds, repeating this 5-6 times to improve eye fluid circulation. Parents can perform this action while the child's eyes are closed. This light exercise, taking little time, can significantly relax the eyes. Practice this simple routine at least 5-6 times a day, especially if the child is heavily engaged with electronic devices and has severe nearsightedness.
The Trataka exercise, a traditional Indian practice, enhances eye focus. This method is considered highly effective for improving vision and reducing nearsightedness. Direct your child to fixate on a small, stationary object, such as a candle flame or a dark spot, placed on the floor or table. The goal is for the child to maintain focus until a clear image of the object is firmly imprinted in their mind. Continuous gazing until tears flow signifies the exercise's completion, indicating a successful test of the eye's endurance. Regular practice of this technique can yield significant improvements in eye focus and health. Ensure this activity is performed under safe, supervised conditions to avoid eye strain.

Traditional remedies can be a safe and beneficial method to help your child's eyesight. After about three months of consistent use, significant improvement in myopia can be observed. The first remedy involves boiling longan fruit, longan seeds, and wolfberry (Goji berries) together, creating a tea-like drink that enhances vision when consumed regularly, preferably 15-20 minutes after meals. The second remedy utilizes a mix of black beans and jujube in equal proportions, cooked and consumed daily without sugar to preserve its benefits. These remedies are especially effective for mild to moderate myopia.
