If you are doing this complex at home , then at the end lie down in shavasana and try to relax completely in a few minutes.
Eye exercises should be done every day , especially if you spend a lot of time at the computer. In order not to forget about charging , use the Eyexercise service. At the beginning of every hour, it will remind you to take a break and suggest some eye exercises.
The Google Chrome extension "Eye Rest" works in a similar way. It also allows you to independently set the duration of breaks in work and the interval between them.
There is only one caveat: if you have serious vision problems ( glaucoma , cataracts , retinal detachment), you should consult a doctor before doing any eye exercises.
