Abstract

The effectiveness and synchronization of the accommodation and vergence systems must be maximized in order to reduce the eye strain that comes with near and intermediate tasks. The need for close and intermediate visual tasks has increased dramatically due to the current requirement for extended participation in computer and gazette-related jobs. The extraocular and ciliary muscles are overworked as a result of this increased exertion, which may cause eye tiredness and associated asthenopic symptoms. Among the non-presbyopic population with asthenopic symptoms, eye fatigue is one of the most commonly reported conditions worldwide. Reducing ocular tiredness is essential for improving near- and intermediate-range performance. Materials and Method: Thirty computer science students from central M.P were split evenly into study and control groups for this study. For a duration of twelve weeks, the study group individuals engaged in regular practice of Pranayama, Kapalabhati, and Yogic eye exercises, whereas the control group participants did not engage in any physical activity. Snellen's chart was used to evaluate visual acuity and assess the effects of Pranayama and eye exercises. Result: Thirty people took part in the control group as well as the study group. Prior to intervention, the right eye's visual acuity in the study group was 34.30 ± 20.28; following intervention, this improved to 30.70 ± 21.89. In a similar way, the left eye's visual acuity was 34.60 ± 20.08 prior to intervention and 30.46 ± 21.62 following Yogic eye exercises. The values in the control group were 34.10 ± 19.22 on day one and 36.90 ± 19.15 after twelve weeks for the left eye.In a similar way,32.60 ± 20.37 on day one and 34.30 ± 20.44 after twelve weeks for the right eye. The study group members' visual acuity ratings improved statistically significantly, according to paired t-test statistical analysis. For the subjects in the control group, the results were statistically not significant. The results indicate that pranayama and yogic eye exercises improve eyesight, which is reflected in better visual acuity. Conclusion: This study suggests that Yogic eye exercises in addition to Pranayama might be used as a non-pharmacological intervention to improve visual acuity.
