文本解说

达·芬奇说：“眼睛是心灵的窗户。”眼睛是可以表达微妙感情的。当眼睛模糊了，我们与心灵交流的窗口也就关闭了。所以，我们应该适时地让眼睛休息一下。你听说过眼部瑜伽吗？请阅读文章，并思考：眼部瑜伽是怎么做的呢？眼部瑜伽能否改善视力呢？

This is one of the many eye yoga exercises Subhan is teaching his students today．Rubbing your handsvigorouslytogether to generate energy and covering your eyes to block the light getting through,he says,helps ease out eyestrain．

Eye yoga has existed for centuries．It began as an ancient practice in India and is mostly taught alongside other forms of yoga．

Some students suffer from eye problems．Others are here to take a much-needed screen break．

So I am short-sighted in one eye and long-sighted in the other．And so I think my vision isn't very clear．And then after the practices,everything seems much more focused．Can eye yoga really help improve vision or go as far as to cure eye problems?

It's more on anything that's focus issues．According to,you know,regular science,once you get these kind of issues,you can't reverse them．But in the yogic system,they're saying you can reverse them．

Though Subhan and some of his students say eye yoga helps improve eyesight,there isn't actually any scientific evidence to prove this．

They can't correct eye problems in terms of refractive error．So in terms of the need for glasses for distance vision,the need for glasses for reading，there's no way you can anatomically change the shape or the function of your eye,by performing an exercise．

If eye yoga was an alternative to curing or correcting eye problems,eye doctors would have to look elsewhere for a career．But while eye yoga doesn't do that,it certainly helps your eyes feel more relaxed．
