"The legendary new eye exercises? Roll your eyes. " This set of "new eye exercises" was produced by Taizhou Office of China Campus Health Action Public Welfare Project and Bright Angel Student Vision Protection Center. In the video, a girl in red gave a demonstration exercise. The basic exercise is divided into six parts: look up and down to the left, look up and down to the right, look left and right, turn clockwise, turn counterclockwise, close your eyes hard, open your eyes hard, look up, and finally close your eyes for a while. The whole process lasted more than 5 minutes.

"In the whole video, girls have been rolling their eyes", and netizens dubbed it "professional course of rolling eyes" and questioned its effect. A netizen who insisted on practicing according to the video demonstration told the reporter that it was much more difficult than the traditional eye exercises, and he felt dizzy after practicing. Netizen "Chongqing Disciple" also quipped: "If I do it, my contact lens will probably be twisted into a twist."

Is "new eye exercises" good for eyes?

The doctor said: not reliable!

After five minutes, practice will not only fail to achieve the effect of eye health, but will cause eye muscle fatigue. If the practitioner wears contact lenses, it may lead to corneal inflammation or contact lens falling off.

Moreover, the role of eye exercises itself remains to be studied. Eye exercises are to massage local acupoints, improve eye blood circulation and relax eye ciliary muscles. Teenagers' myopia is mainly due to the tension or spasm of ciliary muscles, which relieves their fatigue and naturally improves their vision. Long-term persistence can promote blood circulation around eyes, relieve eye fatigue and protect children's eyes.

But so far, there is no complete summary of the efficiency of this "national movement", so the preventive effect of eye exercises on myopia needs further verification.
