When you look into the mirror what is the number one thing you notice? If you're like 90 percent of the population, you look directly into your eyes. Those magic orbs that covert light to visions. It has been proven if you keep your eyes strong, you will prevent your eyes from getting worse than they already are. It's also recommended that if you look at a computer screen for more than two hours you should take at least 5 to 10 minutes and focus on something else, or do some sort of eye exercises to strengthen your eyes.

From Quick Guide: Eye Basics
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1
     

    Take a deep breath and make sure you're not doing anything but paying attention to your eyes. Roll your eyes completely around your socket. Hold each look for five seconds. Look up. Look down. Look to the right. Look to the left. Look to a point that is at your right upper diagonal, usually a corner of a room. Look at a point that is at your bottom left diagonal. Look at a point that is at your bottom right diagonal. Look at a point that is at your upper left diagonal.

  2. Step 2

    Hold a pencil at half an arm length. Take a deep breath and let it all out. Focus on the pencil for 15 seconds. Now focus on something across the room for 15 seconds. Do this twice. Then focus on the pencil for two seconds and then something across the room for two seconds. Do this as many times as feels comfortable.

  3. Step 3

    Hold the book as closely as you can read the words. Pick a sentence to start with. Begin reading the sentence as you move the book to arm length. Continue reading as you bring the book closer to you, till you get the page as close as you can.

  4. Step 4

    Close your eyes. Using your thumb on one eye and your index finger on the other, rub your eyes back and forth. Keep your eyes closed for a minute if you can, but 30 seconds will do the same thing. Pinch the bridge of your nose with your thumb and index finger and hold pressure on this point for 30 seconds.

Tips & Warnings
  • When you are doing eye exercises do not try to do other things, just pay attention to our eyes.
  • Do not do the first step in quick succession because it can cause some people to become dizzy.
  • As you're reading the book, if at any time you loose your place or can not see the words, go back to the last comfortable distance you were at and start again.
  • Putting pressure on your bridge for over two minutes will relax you and help your eyes.
  • If moving your eyes and holding it at a spot is causing you pain, stop pushing your eyes so far.
  • If you are experiencing pain just by moving your eyes or holding the look, you might want to see a doctor.
