A few readers now have requested yoga exercises that would be helpful to them for general care of their vision and eye problems, and yoga certainly has some nice recommendations for that. The set below is a simple, yet effective set, to help you gently improve your vision or maintain the good health of your eyes.
This set will be Chapter 8 of the Free Online Kundalini Yoga Sets E-book, where each chapter is a unique set to help you with a particular dimension of your being. The free e-book includes sets such as the Fountain of Youth Yoga Set, the Healthy Weight Loss Yoga Exercises and the Beginners Kundalini Yoga Series.
Background of Yoga Exercises for Eye Care:
The yoga set below could well have been part of the Clever Yoga Tips for Busy People Series, as it is quick to do and can be easily done anytime you have a few free minutes to spare. If you have more time you can repeat this set more than once if you like.

This can be done anytime in between the following exercises, whenever you feel you need to give your eyes a break.

Thanks for the article Anmol! I’ve been reading in conjunction with my practice, recently, and I’d like to share a book with you that might offer you some new insights. It’s called Harmonic Wealth and it’s all about finding harmony in your life in all areas - financial, relational, mental, physical, and spiritual. It has some really good tips about how to engage all five pillars (or areas) of your life, and to learn more about how they complement each other. Rather than dealing with each issue individually, maybe take a look at the bigger picture.
Here’s the link to that book I recommend: harmonicwealth.com/read

anmol when i look up, i feel a thread-like sore feeling on the right side of my head should i have my eyes opened wider?

No, instead just look up a little less and slowly increase the range as you feel more comfortable. Give it some time, as these muscles may not have been used in this way too much before.
Let me know how it goes.
Best,

when i look up i get this cord like feeling on my right eye, though it the strain that i get from it feels very good, i mean its addicting, should i stop, and when i look to right right, it feels like a cord is being pulled in my ear region why would i feel this

You are feeling the muscles stretch and flex, and it does it feel good :-). Again, the golden rule is to go slow and ensure you have no lingering discomfort after you complete the set. I am a huge fan of being gentle and patient with the body.

Adding powerful antioxidants to your diet can improve your eye health.
There’s no substitute for the quality of life good vision offers. Adding certain nutrients to your diet every day – either through foods or supplements – can help save your vision. Researchers have linked eye-friendly nutrients such as lutein/zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc to reducing the risk of certain eye diseases, including macular degeneration and cataract formation.
