Top 8 tips to improve eye vision

Nearly half of our days are spent in reading text, working on the computer or staring at lavish LCDs. 

All these leads to eye fatigue and eye related problems, which further causes diminished vision. Follow these simple tips by Ophthalmologist , to sharpen your vision so you can see your way to a future of longevity. 

Tip to Improve Eye Vision 


 1: Practice relaxation exercise

One of the simplest relaxation exercise you can do to your eyes is - place your hands together palm to palm and rub them together briskly creating heat. Place them over your eyes and allow your eyes to relax. Do not let light in. Do this whenever you have time during the day.


 2: Blink your eyes regularly


Constantly blinking your eyes is a very simple way to keep your eyes fresh and avoid eye-strain  Computer users tend to blink their eyes very less, thus it is recommended that they should follow the exercise of blinking their eyes every three-four seconds.


3: Stare at a distance


Most of the computer victims are a victim of far-sightedness (have trouble seeing things, which are at a distance). To correct this or avoid this problem, make an effort to stare something at a distance every 30-45 minutes, for 5 seconds. This technique will help to improve your focus of distant objects.


 4: Splash water


If you feel that your eyes are strained, go to the wash-room and wash your eyes thoroughly. Make this a daily habit. Splashing your eyes with water will help to relieve your eyes from excessive stress and make them fresh.


 5: Do '8' exercise

Practising '8'exercise will help to increase your eye flexibility. Start it by imagining a giant figure of eight in front of you about 10 feet in front of you. Now trace the figure of eight with your eyes, slowly. Practising tracing it on either side.


 6: Practice zooming exercise


Start this muscle straightening exercise by sitting in a comfortable position. Stretch out your arm with your thumb in the hitch-hike position Focus on your thumb as your arm is outstretched. Now bring your thumb closer to you, focussing all the time, until your thumb is about 3 inches in front of your face. Now move your thumb away again until your arm is fully outstretched. Keep practising this exercise for few seconds.


7: Take an early walk


Get up early and go for a walk. This technique will make your eyes fresh and relaxed. Besides, it will also get sufficient sunlight. 


8: Don't make your eyes depended on glasses


Spectacles are just a great fix for your deteriorating vision power. It does not improve or fixes your eyesight. Thus, don't depend on your glasses too much.

COMPUTER STRAIN ON THE EYE? DO THESE SIMPLE EXERCISES.

These exercises not only help to strengthen your eye muscles but also ensure visual comfort.

Blinking- a simple exercise to keep the eyes fresh & able to focus longer. Blink every 3-4 seconds for 2 minutes. Then try not to blink for 30 seconds at a time for 2 minutes. Every time one blinks, the tear gland secretes fresh tears to refresh the eyes. Also, the brief period of darkness helps reduce eye strain.

Palming- This relieves stress around the eyes. Lean forward on a desk. Close your eyes. Place both hands over the eyes with the cup of the palm covering the eyes. The fingers should be on the forehead & the heel of the hand on the cheekbone. Ensure you can blink freely & that you are not putting pressure on the eyes. Stay that way for a few minutes. it may not seem like much, but can make a big difference if done regularly.

Figure of 8- This is an exercise for increasing flexibility of eye muscles. Imagine a giant figure of 8 about 10 feet in front of you. Now turn the 8 on its side. Now slowly trace the figure of 8 with your eyes. Do it one way for a few minutes & then the other way.

Focussing- This will strengthen eye muscles over time & improve overall vision. Sit in a comfortable position. Put your thumb about 10"  in front of you & focus on it. Now focus on something else about 10-20 feet in front of you. On each deep breath, switch between focussing on your thumb & the other object.

Zooming-  This will strengthen focussing skills & eye muscles. Sit in a comfortable position. Stretch out your arm with the thumb in the hitch-hike position. Focus on the thumb when the arm is outstretched. Now bring the thumb close to the face, focussing all the time until the thumb is about 3" in front of the face. Then move the thumb away until the arm is fully outstretched. do this for a few minutes at a time throughout the day.
