Myopia is a condition where a parallel ray entering the eye converges anterior to the retina. It is the most common refractive condition affecting 30% to 35% of the population even in Western countries (Grosvener, T. & Goss, D., 1999). Myopia is seen to be rapidly progressive under stress. Stress is perceived to have positive […]
Effect of eye relaxation practices on the level of visual acuity of respondents with different Visual Ailments
The World Health Organization analysis on the global distribution of visual ailments shows, there are 124 million people in the world with low vision. Worldwide on an average, more than one in forty people have severe visual impairment. Without proper interventions the number of blind will double to 75 million by the year 2020, which [...]
Subjective rating of visual acuity and its impact on astigmatism: An Interventional Study
Astigmatism is a condition were parallel rays of light entering the eye fails to produce a single clear image on the retina. It gets converged into different points. Children born with astigmatic condition normally gets corrected on its own in ten weeks. In some cases the rectification does not happen resulting in the need to [...]
Chronological Age and Subjective Perception of Visual Acuity among Myopic Patients Practicing Eye Relaxation
Myopia is a condition where a parallel ray entering the eye converges anterior to the retina. It is the most common refractive condition affecting 30% to 35% of the population even in Western countries (Grosvener, T. & Goss, D., 1999). Myopia is seen to be rapidly progressive under stress.

Effect of Relaxation on the Visual Acuity of Astigmatic Children with Sedentary Lifestyle as Opposed to Children Who are Physically Active
The global epidemic of obesity and physical inactivity may have detrimental implications for young people. There is a growing body of literature demonstrating that lifestyle factors such as excess sedentary behavior and an unhealthy diet may compromise children’s cognitive and academic performance. It has been suggested that there is a negative spiral of disengagement in [...]
Major Findings of the Study
1) Significant difference is observed in the level of improvement in visual acuity between the experimental group and the control group after the eye relaxation intervention given to the experimental group. 2) The various categories in the experimental group indicate significant difference in the level of improvement in the visual acuity after the intervention of [...]
