Eye exercises are based on medical massage and meridian theory, combined with exercise and medical treatment. By massaging the acupoints around the eyes, the blood in the eyes can be dredged, and the nerve nutrition can be improved, thus eliminating the tension or spasm of the ciliary muscles.
In China, eye exercises first started in the 1960s, and Beijing was the first city in China to carry out eye exercises. It was born from a health survey. The State Education Commission of China stipulated in 1972 that primary school students should do eye exercises twice a day between classes.
