Eye exercises to help improve your vision: Spending 8 hours a day on a computer screen for your job can take its toll on your eyes. So just as it is important to exercise your body to stay fit and healthy, it is also important to keep exercising your eyes to maintain your vision clarity, calm your mind and keep your stress level down.
Pre-workout: Eye stretching works best when you relax. It is therefore important to take a minute, close your eyes and remoisten your eyeballs before attempting any of these exercises. While your eyes are shut breathe in and out deeply as this will further prevent your eyes from becoming dry and has the added benefit of helping you relax. This is especially crucial if you work on a computer all day as you blink less when focusing your eyes on a digital screen. These Eye exercises are exceptionally good to get your eyes prepared for seeing. In seeing we must strengthen our peripheral vision as well as our perception. If you wear glasses, take them off for these exercises.
