Yoga can help greatly to improve the eyesight of the individual. Yoga exercises, which involve movement of the eyes and eye rotation helps to improve the sight of the individuals. Lifting the eyes up and down and blinking them while not at work serves as a great exercise for improving the eyesight of the individual.

Keeping eyes focused at one point helps in increasing the concentration of the individual.

Gazing exercise (trataka) activity of yoga also improves vision. It helps in bringing positivity in the mind and the body and helps to purify oneself internally so as to have a better vision of the surroundings.

One can gaze on any object which helps one focus, either a deity one believes in or any other imagination which helps in getting rid from the negativity and usher in all positive thoughts in the mind.

This posture should be practiced without straining any body parts. Other exercises like Pranayam and meditation also help the individual to treat the eyes of any ailments and it also increases the concentration and devotion in the work. According to yoga there is one third eye of the humans which exists between the eyebrows. One should always try to concentrate on this particular third eye.
