Can you imagine a world without lost eyesight? Certainly not! Even recognising your loved ones would be a task, let alone enjoying the morning view of the garden. People with a weak vision often tend to suffer from myopia and hypermetropia and become more prone to blindness in older age.

And while you may need glasses or even surgery to treat these conditions, performing a few of these eye exercises can improve your eyesight.
