Chinese Eye ExercisesThe Chinese eye exercises are based on acupressure points. They have been practised regularly in China to help reduce the rate of eye disorders.

Failing Eyesight Due To Malfunctioning LiverIn Chinese medicines, if the eyesight is failing, it could mean that the liver is not functioning optimally. In this situation, the liver can gradually improve through dietary changes, daily Taijiquan, qigong, yoga, meditation and reflexology.

You can also perform some simple foot reflexology:Just roll a wooden foot roller or rolling pin beneath the feet from the toes to the heels for 5 minutes, concentrating more on the the areas between the second and third toes on both feet (ie. th reflex areas for the eyes). Then concentrate on the liver reflex area, which is on the right foot below the ball of the foot, in line with the third, fourth and fifth toes. If the liver or gall bladder is not functioning properly, this area will feel very tender.

Failing Eyesight Due To Old AgeFailing eyesight could also be due to poor condition of the kidneys. Daily Taijiquan, qigong, yoga or meditation stress on stimulating and rejuvenating the kidneys. In taijiquan, all the movements involve the waist, and these movements massage the kidneys. Tao meditation also improves the quality of the jing which in turn rejuvenates the kidneys.
