Eye power and eye exercises

Well, there are no scientifically proven evidences to reduce the power of your eye by doing some eye exercises.

The power of eye ,medically termed as refractive error depends upon the anatomical structure of your eye

I.e the length of your eye ,curvature of cornea and lens

So by doing any eye exercises you cannot change the anatomical structure of your eye.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.

This is the best eye clinic ever. It's amazing how every staff is so caring. The faculty is simply top class and Dr. Aditya Raut is the best. His treatment is par excellence, but even more than more than that, he is a great human being.
