Discover how qigong vision therapy can be applied to treat various eye conditions and restore most, if not all of your eyesight.
~ These eye exercises are a part of a qigong (also spelled chi kung) vision therapy that I teach my students. Most if not all of them report seeing an immediate improvement after just a few minutes of exercise. If you don’t believe me, try them yourself. You have nothing to lose, except perhaps your eyeglasses!
It’s unfortunate that the eyeglasses are such a multi-billion dollar industry in the West, because they have so much influence over our way of thinking.
Eyeglasses do not improve eye health. They may help you see better, but when you take them off, you’re worse off than before you wore them. That’s because they act like crutches for your eyes.
When your eyes start to rely on them, the eye muscles weaken and become lazy. I prove this to my students by giving them a pair of pinpoint eye wear to try on. They can read the eye chart perfectly without eyeglasses!
It's not that they have changed anything in their eyes, only in the way they use their eye muscles:
Remember, they aren't wearing eyeglasses, just eye wear frames with cardboard holes, but the pinpoint holes in the eye wear force their eyes to use certain muscles and to relax other muscles in order to focus properly. When they take off the eye wear, they are back to practicing their old habit of not focusing properly.
Therefore, if you want to improve vision, the solution is to throw away the eyeglasses you have become so dependent on and practice eye exercises that will train your eye muscles to function properly.
Of course, if you cannot see clearly to function in an otherwise safe environment, then by all means, wear them. But while you are practicing qigong or qigong eye exercises, you should not wear your eyeglasses. In fact, you should try to minimize your wearing time to as little as possible.
Let me say this one more time:
Eyeglasses not only do NOT improve vision
but make your eyesight WORSE over time! Think about it: once you start wearing prescription glasses, with time, you find that you have to get stronger and stronger prescription glasses. That means your eyesight is weaker than it was previously.
However, with qigong eye exercises, you can improve your vision and maintain good eye health.
There are a number of books on natural eye care. The Bates Method is probably the most well-known and involves similar eye exercises like this one. I have tried a combination of both qigong vision therapy and the Bates Method.

Personally, I prefer the qigong vision therapy, because I find the results more effective long-term.
These are the basic eye exercises that anyone can practice, alone or in combination with other qigong exercises:
1. Get a hold of an eyechart and test your sight without eyeglasses. Having 20/20 vision means you can see clearly without eyeglasses at twenty feet away.
If you are nearsighted, you will not be able to see far. If you are farsighted, you will not be able to see clearly at closer distances.
Testing your eyesight before doing the eye exercises will help you establish a baseline and see the extent of your improvement.
2. When doing these exercises, make sure you are not moving your head, only your eyes. You may want to use your finger and let your eyes follow your finger as you do the eye exercises. The red dots in the following diagrams are where your eyes should target.
The first exercise is to look to the right as far as your eyes can move. You should feel the pull of the eye muscles as you hold them in this position and inhale and exhale one time using diaphragmatic breathing for a count of three or four seconds.
Then move your eyes to the left, again feeling the pull of the eye muscles as you move them as far left as possible. Inhale and exhale as you hold the position for another count of three seconds to four seconds.
Continue stretching the eye muscles, right and left for a total of four times in sync with your diaphragmatic breathing.
3. Next, look up as far as possible, feeling the pull of the eye muscles. Hold as you inhale and exhale using slow diaphragmatic breathing. Then look down and hold that position, as you continue to use belly breathing for another count of three or four seconds. Again, you should feel the pull of the eye muscles. Repeat for a total of four breath synchronized sets.
4. For this next exercise, bring your finger close to your nose. Follow your finger with your eyes until you are looking cross-eyed. When you start to feel the pull of the eye muscles, hold for a count of three to four seconds, synchronized with one inhalation and exhalation.
For the next breath, close your eyes and let them stay as relaxed as possible for a count of one three- to four-second breath. Repeat the stretching and relaxation for a total of four sets.
5. Now, close your eyes as tightly as possible, and hold for a count of three to four seconds, again synchronized with diaphragmatic breathing.
For the next breath, open your eyes as wide as possible for another count of three to four seconds. Do a total of four sets in sync with your breathing.
6. Lastly, close your eyes again as tightly as possible. As you are doing this, rub your hands together until they are very hot. You are stimulating the external
chi energy for healing.
7 Keeping your eyes closed, relax them completely and place your palms lightly over your eyelids. You should feel the warm
chi flowing comfortably over your eyes from your palms and relaxing the eyes even more, so that you see complete darkness. Continue palming for about a minute or two. Always rub the hands before you palm.
8. When you have finished palming, test your eyesight again with the eyechart. You should find that you can see much more clearly than before.
If not, it means you are tensing the eye muscles unnecessarily again, and you will have to continue with the palming until your eyes are relaxed enough to see clearly. When palming, do not press against the eyeballs or you will see stars.
9. When you have finished testing your eyes on the eyechart, finish off the eye exercises with
qigong acupressure to stimulate the healing
chi energy and help relax the eye muscles.
10. Continue to practice these eye exercises regularly but be careful not to overdo it: eye muscles are like any other part of your body; if you over exercise them, you can over-strain them.
