In these decades, due to the rising use of IT, they are using computers or laptops not only for education purpose but also, for playing online games for a prolonged period. Therefore, extensive viewing of the computer screen can lead to eye discomfort, fatigue, blurred vision and headaches, dry eyes and other symptoms of eyestrain. But nowadays, in this hazardous situation, it has been compulsive and essential for the children to get an education by attending online lectures at home environment. Methodology: 44 school-aged children attending online classes in the age group 6 to 15 years were included. Eye fatigue was assessed through the 7-point Likert Scale before the exercise session. The participants were instructed to follow the eye exercises and ergonomic advice for 6 days per week (twice a day) as a 4 weeks protocol. After the exercise session, again eye fatigue was assessed through the 7-point Likert Scale. Later data were collected and analysis was done. Results: A significant reduction was seen in eye fatigue with self- relaxing yogic eye exercises followed by the ergonomic advice in school-aged children attending online classes in COVID-19. Conclusion: Eye fatigue was significantly reduced in the post-exercise session followed by the ergonomic advice as compared to the pre-exercise session in school-aged children attending online classes..&#13;
