5 Exercises to strengthen your eye
muscles and improve your vision
1.Blinking
Blinking is an often overlooked yet
simple way to keep your eyes fresh and being able to focus longer. Computer users
and television watchers tend to blink less, especially when they are intently
focused on something. Try it just now as a simple exercise. For the next two
minutes blink every 3 – 4 seconds. After you have done this for two minutes,
mentally take note of how your eyes feel, are they strained, relaxed, tired.
Now try and not blink for 30 seconds at a time for two minutes. Do you feel any
difference? Whenever
you blink your eyes are going into a brief period of darkness which helps to
keep your eyes fresh and discharges previous information ready for new
information, this helps to reduce eye strain.
2.Palming
This is done to relieve stress
around the eyes and as a way to relax your eyes whilst taking a computer break.
Instructions for palming
1.
Take a few deep breathes before you begin.
2.
Make yourself comfortable whilst leaning forward on a desk or with your elbows
resting on your knees. Close your eyes.
3.
Place your two hands over your eyes with the cup of your palm covering your
eyes, your fingers on your forehead and the heel of your hand will rest on your
cheekbone. Make sure you can blink freely and you are not putting too much
pressure on your eyes.
That’s it. Palming gives you the
opportunity to rest your mind and your eyes for a few minutes at a time. It may
not sound much of an exercise but it can make a big difference in your working
day if you stop for a few minutes and do this exercise.
3.Figure of eight
This is to exercise your eye muscles
and increase their flexibility. This is quite a simple exercise but a good one.
Imagine a giant figure of eight in
front of you about 10 feet in front of you. Now turn the 8 on it’s side. Now
trace the figure of eight with your eyes, slowly. Do it one way for a few
minutes and then do it the other way for a few minutes. It may seem very alien
at first but it’s worth persevering with it.
4.Near and far focussing
This is one of my favourite
exercises as you can do it almost anywhere, I say almost as I couldn’t imagine
doing it on the underground without getting strange looks from those around me.
Instructions for Near and far
focussing.
1.
Sit in a
comfortable position, or stand, this will only take 2-3 minutes at a time.
2.
Put your thumb
about 10 inches in front of you and focus on it.
3.
Now focus on
something else about 10 – 20 feet in front of you.
4.
On each deep
breath switch between focussing on your thumb and the 10-20
feet object in front of you.
This will strengthen the muscles in
your eyes over time and improve your vision overall.
5.Zooming
This is another one of my favourites
as it is very easy and quick to do.
Instructions for zooming
1.
Sit in a
comfortable position
2.
Stretch out your
arm with your thumb in the hitchhike position
3.
Focus on your
thumb as your arm is outstretched.
4.
Now bring your
thumb closer to you, focussing all the time, until your thumb is about 3
inches in front of your face.
5.
Now move your
thumb away again until your arm is fully outstretched.
6.
Do this for a
few minutes at a time throughout the day.
This exercise will strengthen your
focussing skills and your eye muscles in general.
