Relaxation Exercises for Improved Vision

While the importance of relaxation in mental well-being is well documented, it is often overlooked when it comes to ocular health. Just like the rest of the muscles around your body, your eyes muscle can suffer from tension. This tension plays a part in both short and long sightedness and is only made worse by the use of corrective lenses.

If you wear corrective lenses you are effectively decreasingly the amount exercise your eyes have to do, this results in a deterioration in your focusing skills. So when you couple strained eye muscles with poor focusing you can see (or maybe you can’t!) how your eyesight continually worsens until you need stronger corrective lenses, and this process just keeps repeating.

Most opticians will keep this a secret but there are actually a number of exercises you can do to reduce strain and tension in your eyes. If you take just five minutes a day to do these eye exercises then you will find that your eyesight will slowly improve, and it could save you another expensive trip to the opticians!
