3 Eye Exercises to Improve Your Vision

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Are you having trouble improving your eyesight through conventional means? Try eye exercises.

Just about 4 years ago, I undergo LASIK surgery in an attempt to improve my eyesight - despite its many possible side effects. My eyesight did improve but my joy lasted only a few months. My eyesight soon deteriorated and it became worse than it was before the surgery.

Here's my point: LASIK corrects only the symptom of a much bigger underlying problem. That problem, according to Bates, is the straining of the eye muscles. If you want perfect eyesight, there's only one you can do - relax your eye muscles. One of the best ways to do that, in my opinion, is doing eye exercises.

Here are 3 of them for you to start off:

  1. Palming. This is one of the most beneficial "eye exercises" that you do for your eyes. First place your right palm on your right eye and do the same for your left eye. Do it in such a way that your left fingers is on top of your right fingers. Be careful not to be pressing your eyes and make sure there's as little light reaching your eyes as possible. This "eye exercise" relaxes your eyes muscles and you should do it every time your eyes feel strained and tired.
  2. Focusing. Place two pebbles (stones or anything like that) about 30 cm apart. If you have perfect eyesight, you shouldn't have a problem with looking at one of them only. People who are myopic, on the other hand, would see both pebbles at once. While you're trying to focus, remember to take it easy, breathe deeply and blink!
  3. Would someone who have broken a leg be able to start walking again if he continues to use his crutches? No! Although technically not an exercise, you should significantly cut down the amount of time you wear your glasses whenever it's safe to do so. This allows your eyes time to adjust and recover
