Eye Exercises to Improve Vision - Is it Possible?

Eye exercises to improve vision - is it possible that after all these years of glasses and contacts prescriptions, that if you could have simply made a few changes to your daily routine you would be able to see clearly again? According to some rumors floating around the internet and other places in the public domain, the answer is an indefinite "maybe."

According to online polls, around 60% of people find that they were able to improve their eyesight naturally after initially being told that they needed glasses. They get it via performing simple vision exercises that required no more than the use of their eyes. Does this mean we should throw our glasses out now? Probably not, but it may mean that some of these eye exercises may help you out. Before trying any of them, one should make sure that it's OK with their optometrist, but here are a few that might be useful.

It is possible that eye exercises to improve vision can strengthen the eye muscles and lead to a notable increase in ability to focus on objects. A 2-3 minute exercise can be done in which the vision is focused on the thumb held about 10 inches away from the face, and then on an object 10-20 feet away. Taking a breath is a good marker upon which to switch focus from near to far or vice-versa. The flexibility of the eye muscles can be greatly aided by tracing your vision over an imaginary figure eight 10 feet in front of you. By tracing it slowly one way for a few minutes and then reversing direction, this can help increase the eye's ability to move to and track an object. Like with any exercise program, what you will get out of this depends on what you put into it! Happy exercising
