"Eye Exercises: Ophthalmologist Debunks the Hype"
An ophthalmologist explains that there is no strong scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of eye exercises in eliminating the need for glasses or providing long-term benefits for conditions like myopia, hyperopia, or presbyopia. While some vision therapy may help with specific ocular issues like eye misalignment, general eye health is best maintained through regular eye exams, limiting screen time, following the 20-20-20 rule, spending time outdoors, and avoiding smoking. Blue light blockers and supplements lack substantial evidence for improving vision or reducing eye strain.
