Exercises to improve vision

Staring and straining or the worse things you can do to your eyes. After a long day at
work, the eyes are tired and need to relax and renew to improve vision. The constant
strain day in and day out does nothing but damage the eyes. Below are three
exercises design to remove the eye strain.

The first exercise is the Dot exercise. To do this find a period or comma on the page
and focus on making it as clear as possible. Stare at the period until it comes into
focus. Chances are after a few seconds the period will actually became less clear
and blurry.

Try relaxing your eyes. Close them for a minute and let them relax. Now look at the
period without straining. Don’t stare; instead, let your eyes slowly move around the
page, over and around the period. Don’t focus only on the period, the eyes need
movement. Make sure to blink a bit. Try closing your eyes and picturing the dot and
then look at it again. Once the eyes are relaxed it should be easier to see the period.


The second exercise is the Word exercise. Find a word on the page that is five or
more letters long. Stare at the word so that all the letters are in view, but don’t move
the eyes. Focus entirely on the whole word trying to get the best image in your head
Again, staring and concentrating hard is going to cause the word to blur.

Now, relax your eyes and allow them to move slowly over, around, and across each
letter of the word. Blink. Allow the eyes to lead you; don’t force them to look at what
you want. The word should be clearer when you look at it again. Letter the eyes
move around is what will help them work best without the strain.

The third exercise is the Double Vision exercise. This exercise is meant to get your
eyes to work together as a team. Most people use one eye to look at an object, while
the other eye does its own thing. Squinting can help bring an object into focus with
both eyes, but this causes unnecessary stress. The trick is to relax the eyes, focus
on the object in a calm way, and allow both eyes to focus together.

Learning exercises to relax the eyes is a great way to develop lasting habits and
ensure great eyesight for years to come.
