Press your eyes
This is one of the most effective and refreshing eye exercises. To perform this eye exercise, all you need is a little inhale and exhale. Put all your fingers on your eyelids and press lightly. Use a bit of gentle pressure and hold them for 10 minutes. Slowly, let go of your eyes and keep them close for a few seconds. Keep them open for a couple of seconds as your vision comes back in focus. Try to do it at least 10 times a day.
