Main Muscles. The exercise is performed without actively engaging any specific muscles.

Close your eyes tightly and place your fingers along the cheekbone in such a way that you can feel the movement of the eyeballs under your fingertips. Then, lift only the pupils upward, trying to look up with your eyes closed. Try to keep the upper eyelid closed tightly against the lower one. Start with 10-15 repetitions. You may experience some discomfort in your eyes while performing this exercise, but this will pass over time. Do not hold your breath; perform the exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
