Like every other part of your body, your eyes need to be exercised to stay fit and continue working properly. If your eyes are frequently sore and tired, try these three simple vision exercises regularly to help improve your eye health:
1.
Place the palms of your hands
against the orbits of your eye [the palms shouldn't touch
the eyeball, only the bony area around it]. Apply enough pressure
so that you have total darkness in both eyes. Keep your eyes
closed and covered. Look up as far as you can. Now look straight
ahead. Then look as far as you can to the right and go back
to the center. Now look straight down as far as you can and
back to the center. Now go all the way to the left and back
to the center.
2.
Hold a pencil straight out
in front of you at arm's length. Focus both eyes on the tip
of the pencil. Slowly bring the pencil in toward your face,
keeping your eyes focused on the tip until it touches your
nose. Now slowly move the pencil back to arm's length, still
focusing on the tip. Try to keep the tip in focus at all times.
As your eye muscles become stronger, this exercise will get
easier.
3.
Hold a pencil at arm's length
and look straight ahead at all times. Do not move your head
during this exercise. Slowly move the pencil upward until
you can no longer see the point with your peripheral vision.
Now move it slowly back down to center--keep focusing--and
all the way to the right until you can no longer see the point,
and back to the center. Then go all the way down until you
no longer see the point, bring it back up to the center and
do the same thing going to the left and back to the center.
