Blood vessels and the nerves of the eye are most important for healthy eyes as they need to be supplied with adequate blood and nerve force. The muscles at the upper spine at the back of the neck are mainly responsible for interference with the blood and nerve supply to the eyes. The eye itself is fully mature at ten years of age and usually no major changes occur until after 40, when an increase in long sight can be minimised with a prescription lens. They should be tested regularly, however, because eye sets can detect more serious problems such as glaucoma, diabetes and high blood pressure early. Natural care will involve eye muscle and neck exercises to keep the eyes healthy and sparkling.
Eye exercises involve moving the eyes up and down, side to side and round in a circle.
Neck exercises are of the kind to rotate the neck in circles and semi-circles, head to drop forward and backward as far as possible, turn the head to the right and left as far as possible, etc. Splashing cold water many times on the closed eyes and rubbing the close eye lids will increase the blood supply and provide relief to the eye. Gently Massaging the eyes with warm vegetable oil viz. Diet is very important for healthy eyes. Avoid constipation, tea, coffee, meat, alcohol, cakes, pastries, etc.
