Are there any exercises to get eyesight back to normal after a stroke?

You're actually probably better off seeing an optometrist or ophthalmologist as they deal with vision problems every day.  He/she will determine if there's anything you can do and will teach you how to perform the tasks correctly.

Blimey you don't ask for much do you!!\n\nYou can't increase eye power as such without glasses, however there are certain excercises you can do for your eyes which is very good for focusing!\n\nHold an object about 12 inches away and focus on it hard. Now without moving the object, get your eyes to focus on what is behind the object. This is actually very good exercise for the eyes.\n\nAs with most things, eyes will deteriorate with age. Spectacles will obviously aid your vision but this really is the only way to increase your vision, well apart from laser surgey of course!

practice more on battling.  games like counter-strike, quake and other shooting games is an alternative way to increase eye-hand coordination skill.  many researches support that games help in someway.  well i play shooting games for several month and my skill still sux.  some people might learn faster and better than a slow person like me.

If you like to try reflexology, this is a good time/place to try. Go across the covered overhead bridge and get into Roxy Square II (you have to go through Roxy Square 1). It's on the 2nd level - called Ichiban. It's done \nby a partially blind team. It's really good. Ask for the foot and head and shoulders massage ($30). Or you can try a foot reflexology massage at People's Park Centre in Chinatown. Most of the shops are on the 3rd floor. My regular "physician" there is Acupuncture and Chinese Medical Services at #03-66. They charge about $20 for 45 minutes of foot, hand and shoulders massage. They speak good English too.

You see by using muscles in your eyes, so if you didn't use those muscles for a few months your muscles would experince atrophy and won't work right for a while.  I don't think you would go completely blind though.  It's like in the movie kill bill when Uma's in a coma and can't walk for a while.

Found the free eye exercises for Myopia from Wikipedia. \n\nI tried them for few weeks. Showing results slowly - but you need to be disciplined to do the exercises daily. \n\nI didn't follow all the eye exercises sequence. I only pick those that I like. Not sure if that's the right thing to do.\n:)

Consider attending competitive swim team practices and listen to the coach's instruction for improving stroke mechanics. \n\nMany people have similar stroke deficiencies and need similar instruction to improve mechanics. \n\n\nBest wishes !

There's the obvious advice, which is ask your eye doctor.  He'll be able to tell you different things you can do.  I'll note that you should of course have glasses anyways, even if you do increase your long-distance eyesight.  \n\nI know that there are diets and exercises you can do that can help your eyes.  You should do a search of diet and eyesight.  Then do a search of eyes and exercise.  Also try methods and increasing eyesight.  There's an infomercial for a thing called exercise your eyes which is basically a long black object that you hold a few inches or feet from your eyes, and it has a line of small different-colored bulbs that light up.  You folow along with your eyes, and don't turn your head, and it's supposed make your pupils retract, which will strengthen the muscles in your eyes and can help to fix and maintain eyesight for longer periods of times.\n\nI completely forgot what kinds of vitamins are good for eyesight, but I know that simply holding something in front of your face, and moving it around while following with your eyes, so long as you are not in a room with bad lighting, can help your eyesight, but most importantly, I would make an appt with your eye-care professional, and he/she would be way more up-to-date on the things you can do to help your situation.  Good luck.....\n\nOh yes, and when out in the sun, and even driving, make sure you have a pair of good sun-glasses.  Make sure that the sun-glasses are POLARIZED.  They make you see great, and they totally block out the sun.  Your eyes will not feel strained at all.  I have a pair, and I swear they're awesome.

I find using eyedrops, such as Visine, helps. That, or rinsing your eyes with water.

I have the same problem, I just found out I need glasses for it, but also for distance and stigmatism.  Nice combo, basically I need bifocals at the age of 25. :(  But the doc did say the computer is bad for the eyes, so every 20 minutes, you should look 20 feet away and look at that place for 20 seconds. 20/20/20.  It is supposed to help your eyes refresh.  Sleeping a full night helps too, don't forget to blink, use drops if needed.  The problem with computer screens is that each tiny pixel in the screen is moving on its own, almost flickering.  We can't see it because the flicker and pixels are so so small, but the eye needs to use more energy to focus on that screen, thus damaging your eye sight.  Get glasses, computer glasses, they are supposed to help, I am waiting to buy mine because I don't have eye insurance in 2006, but will sign up for it in 2007.

I do believe so. My mom had it. Her doctor advised her to close her good eye with one hand, and 'exercise' the lazy eye by focusing on objects.

A stroke can cause ANY SYMPTOMS.  \n\nThe effected are of the brain is what is the cause.  eye sight is from the back of the brain and any thing that would effect that area would cause visual problems.\n\n:o)\nJerry

Make sure not to sit close to it,and take frequent breaks by resting your eyes...Look away then sit with your hands cupped over your eyes for 2 mins,then go back to using computer.Do some eye exercises...look up then to the side then around then down for 30 seconds each.

I recently started trying eye exercises to help improve my vision. I created a blog so that people can follow my progress\n\nhttp://improvingmyeyesight.com/blog/\n\nThe program I am using is called the Vision for Life Program. Actually, the founder of the program, Orlin Sorensen, was also interested in flying, which is what got him interested in eye exercises.

That is wonderful that you have that much use!  My aunt has had 2 strokes & recovered from the first one greatly...the 2nd one not so much--can't do much with her left side.  She goes to a stroke therapy group every week that does physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech classes.  Check with your doctor if there are any such groups in your area.\n\nThere is more info here too:\nhttp://info.stroke.org/site/PageServer?pagename=HOME\n\nThey have some ways listed to try & prevent another stroke.\n\nGood luck!

Here is the link for the Lion's club http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/content/about_index.shtml\nOn the home page, go to VISION PROGRAMS.\n\nCall the St. Vincent de Paul society at your nearest Catholic Church. Not all of them are helpful, but some are.\n\nI believe that the Vision Works chain has some kind of program. I am not sure. \n\nAsk your caseworker for Medicaid/Medicare to tell you where EXACTLY you can find the rule that they do not help with glasses. You want the publication, page number and paragraph. Sometimes they don't know, sometimes they don't care. I too, am on disability. \n\nCall the Ministerial Associaton for your city. They may know of a source.\n\nI hope one, or a comination of these things helps you.

read info at http://www.preventblindness.org/TN/TN_LWSL_part2.html and if you see anything at that site which might describe your problem you need to see a vision specialist. Good luck !
