10 MIN - Eye Exercises to Improve Vision After Stroke

This guided, 10-minute workout is designed to help improve the control and coordination of your eye muscles after a stroke. These exercises are best for survivors who have weakness of the eye muscles leading to trouble with blurry vision, double vision, or trouble focusing.
This workout isn't for survivors who have a visual field cut. You won’t need any special equipment for this workout. Consult with a neuro eye specialist first to make sure these exercises are right for you.

@PostStrokeOrg This is very helpful. I had double vision after my stroke in 2018. It is very scary. However, doing these exercises with my therapist for about a month helped me get my vision back, and now I'm driving. I recommend doing these exercises. Don't give up. It's worth it.

[@meenumittal8623]

@lisaward2562 This is great that your diplopia is cured. My husband has similar condition, if you dont mind can i know how long it took for your eyes to get back to normal post stroke

[@lisaward2562]

@meenumittal8623 About a month, the diplopia started going away and eventually only had it in my left peripheral. Over the next couple years, with eye exercises and going to the neuro-optimologist it is gone.

So glad that exercises like this were able to help you! Congratulations on getting back to driving! That’s a huge accomplishment ☺️❤️

shared and added to my playlist. thanks so much for this content! v. helpful. every little bit helps us remain as independent as possible for those not lucky enough to get to the doc immediately after stroke starts.

[@PostStrokeOrg]

@paisleydreamzz Of course! I'm so glad you find it helpful ❤️

Good day Thanks for your nice video.

Great video! Thank you for sharing a helpful video about Eye Exercises to Improve Vision After Stroke!

[@marianneg.6599]

Thank you for all your videos. Could you perhaps also explain the trouble with vision after a stroke, bright light. After 6 years coping with noise is getting better, but son is awfully difficult. Greetings from Holland Europe

[@selamgtsadik1568]

thanks

[@SuperJesusinme]

Since my last stroke I been having problems focusing. My doctor never addressed that, say that will go away...is being more then 10 years now from my last stroke, things are getting worse with my vision not better, thanks for this video!!❤️

[@lisaward2562]

It doesn't matter how long since your stroke, recovery is possible. It may be slower, but it's possible. Repetitions is the key. Never give up. See a neuro-optimologist they can use prisms in glasses to help you. Elyse is right on point with the exercises.

@@lisaward2562 thanks very much!

[@PostStrokeOrg]

@SuperJesusinme, i agree with @lisaward2562. It’s probably time to see a neuro ophthalmologist to figure out what specifically is going on. My videos are more general but you’ll need a more individualized plan. Keep me posted!

Are there suitable exercises for those who have a visual field cut?

[@gorditothebunny8250]

I discovered my arms are weaker than my eyes … hope it helps improving my sight!

[@irishcountryman4866]

Can people who didn't have a stroke use these exercises?

[@hemasookram4655]

Smooth tracking was a little difficult but I love these exercises. My vision was hit pretty hard in the beginning but it's a little better now.

[@PostStrokeOrg]

@hemasookram4655 So glad it's getting a bit better!!

[@sauravmisraz]

doing these steps since ages, now diplopia has generated. how to get rid of that thing?

[@PostStrokeOrg]

If exercises haven’t worked for you, I’d recommend reaching out to a neuro ophthalmologist to get some diagnostic testing to see what’s going on and what treatment is appropriate for you!

[@zehrafatima7253]

Will this helpful in myopia???

[@PostStrokeOrg]

@zehrafatima7253 Most likely not as these are for muscle weakness. I would talk to your eye doctor to see what would be the best treatment for your situation!

[@zehrafatima7253]

@@PostStrokeOrg i talked to my doctor he said i have inherited myopia on which eye exercise won't work and if it does then only 1or 2%
