How to Exercise Your Eyes


How to Exercise Your Eyes


We all know how important it is to keep our bodies fit by doing things like going to the gym, jogging, and swimming. But, did you know that you can exercise your eyes as well?

Tips

It’s more important to do the exercises regularly than to do them for a long time. Even 30-60 seconds of eye movement every hour is very helpful. For example, when your computer takes its sweet time to do something, most people just stare at the poor thing and waste the time, but you can make a few circles with your eyes. Even the first day you do this, you should notice that, when you finish working, your eyes aren’t as tired as usual.

Taking short breaks from near work (e.g. staring at a computer monitor) to stare out to the distance also relieves some strain.

Palming is a good method to help your eyes feel better. You close your eyes and put your palms over them, this will rest your eyes.

Blink the eyes many times.

Splash your eyes with cold water repeatedly when feasible, and especially when your eyes are strained.
