Eye care: How to strengthen your vision

If you search “how to strengthen your vision” you’ll find lots of books and articles that include physical exercise, special nutrition diet and limiting the time spent in front of the TV screen. As we all know it’s quite impossible to stick to that kind of a life style.

In this fast living world we need to have eye exercises which are easy to perform. So, I’ve made a list of the most effective and easy to do eye exercises. Take a look at the following suggestions.

Eye exercise

A lot of people don’t do eye exercise, simply because they don’t understand they can do to improve the vision. Let me give you a simple explanation. Every muscle of the body needs exercise to stay fit and functional. The eyes are muscles that need exercise too. If you want to keep your eyes in good shape, you must work on building the eye’s muscle strength.

Do you want to give your eyes great workout? Close your eyes and imagine that you are looking at a clock. Start rolling with your eyes in clockwise direction. Relax for a few seconds. Repeat the same exercise in the other direction (anti-clockwise). Continue with the exercise until your eyes become slightly tired.

Remember not to move your head.

Focusing game

This game will help your eye adjust to far and near objects. For this game, you must choose some object that is one meter away from you. Don’t limit yourself in choosing the objects. Find something that is interesting for you. The only thing you should watch out is that the object should be unmovable and at your eye level. Then try to focus on something else that is further away. Take a good look at the second object in time period of 10 seconds. After you have done this, turn your focus back to the first object for another 10 seconds. Repeat the exercise 10 times.

Playing action video games

If you suffer from lazy eye or you have troubles driving at night, playing action games may improve your eye vision. Where is the evidence?

Well, researchers from University of Rochester say that people who play action games, such as first person gun shooter games , can improve their vision. Yes, that‘s right. They claim that playing these games for a couple of hours per day over the time period of 1 month, can actually improve the contrast sensitivity function. This function is essential for driving at night or for reading activity. So, find some game according to your preferences and start your vision improvement.

Depending on your eye condition and the type of exercise you like, you can choose the one that fits you best. Once you do that, start applying it into your daily routine. Don’t forget that the key for success is to practice on regular bases, every single day.

Anyway, if you don’t feel any improvement, don’t get upset right away. It doesn’t mean that you can not improve your vision. Maybe you just need a different kind of exercise. You must be patient while trying to find the right solution for the problem.
