Here are six yoga asanas that can improve your eyesight naturally.

1. Netra Vyayam (Eye Rotations)

Close your eyes and rotate your eyeballs in a clockwise direction ten times. Subsequently, rotate them in an anti-clockwise manner. This is a great exercise for the muscles in your eyes.

2. Hasta Mudra (Palming)

Sit in a comfortable position with your back straight and eyes closed. Rub your hands together and place the warm hands on your eyes. This helps relieve the eye from any stress.

3. Tratak (Focus Shifting)

Focus your eyes on one object and look at it for as long as you can without blinking. Now, close your eyes and try to visualise the object. This asana strengthens vision.

4. Sarvangasana (Blinking Exercise)

This asana can help provide relief if you have dry eyes. Blink your eyes frequently for about 30 seconds, this helps moisten the eyes.

5. Balasana (Child's Pose)

This yoga asana helps relieve the stress from the eyes and relaxes them. To do this, you have to kneel on the floor, touch your forehead to the ground and extend your arms as much as possible.

6. Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend)

This position is great for relieving stress from the upper body including your eyes. Sit on the floor and try touching your arms to your feet. Practise deep breathing while doing this asana.
