By Jeff Taft


It is common to find a lot of people wearing either glasses or contacts nowadays. The increase in computer and television use in the home and office are often to blame for this. The good news is that you have ways to deal with this through eye exercises to improve vision. You do not need to start wearing glasses earlier than you need to.

Just like your body, your eyes also need regular workouts to make them stay healthy. If you want to have good vision longer, try to exercise your eyes more often. This will not entail going to a gym and working out a sweat. You can perform a routine from the comfort of your sofa, bed, or office chair.

You can start with a blinking work out that simply entails closing and opening the eyes repeatedly. It is a great way to keep your eyes fresh that enables you to focus on objects longer. It is common for people who use computers or watch TV often to blink their eyes sufficiently. Try to blink as often as every 4 seconds.

Another way to work out the eyes is by palming. Breathe deeply before you lean forward on your desk. Cup your hands on each of the eyes with fingertips on your forehead and the heel of your hand on your cheeks. Do not put pressure on your eyes and blink repeatedly. This reduces stress to both your eyes and mind.

If you are looking to increase the flexibility of your sight then you should try this simple workout. Try to imagine a giant figure 8 about 10 feet in front of you. Now you should turn the 8 on its side and trace the figure with your mind slowly. You should trace the 8 one way for a few minutes then do it another way.

You can also try rotating your eyeballs. First, you should close your eyes and start rotating your eyeballs in a clockwise position. Then alternate into a counter clockwise position for about 10 to 15 minutes when you have time. Try to do this every day or twice a day.

When you decide to add these quick and hassle free eye exercises to improve vision you will see a definite change. You can delay the need to wear contacts and bifocals when your ocular muscles are strengthened and healthy. Another good thing about these practices is that you can also decrease the strain on your eyes and mind.
