Introduction<\/h2>\n

Do you forget to take care of the eyes during your daily life? There are some easy eye exercises you can do at any time.<\/p>\n

In the big hectic world, we are living in it is very important to be able to sit down and unwind for a\u00a0few minutes.<\/p>\n

Many people consider taking a break to be scrolling through social media, which of course is not even close to actually resting.<\/p>\n

Most of us are glued to our screens on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

As cool as computers and smartphones may be, they can also do damage to your health and in particular \u2013 your eyes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to use your breaks in the most efficient and healthy way.<\/p>\n

So instead of staring at the display on your\u00a0device, you can do some exercises that can help and improve your vision.<\/p>\n

Eye exercises<\/h2>\n

The simple ones<\/h4>\n

When I was 7 years old I went to the ophthalmologist for the first time.<\/p>\n

The doctor was a very polite lady who prescribed me a pair of glasses and added that it would be beneficial to do some eye exercises every day for a few minutes just to make sure my eyes won\u2019t get any worse.<\/p>\n

These exercises helped improve my eyesight quite a bit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have listed some of them below. All you need is some paper and a chair.<\/p>\n

1. Take a piece of paper, cut a small square from it and color it black.<\/p>\n

Sit down, put it approximately 8 inches (ca. 20 centimeters) away and stare at it for a few seconds.<\/p>\n

Look away and then shift your gaze back to the colored square. Repeat 5 times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Draw a big horizontal eight on a piece of paper. Sit down and distance the sheet 8 inches away.<\/p>\n

Move your eyes along this figure without moving your head. Repeat 5 times.<\/p>\n

3. Draw some zigzag lines. They should look like a cardiogram. Sit down and put the sheet approx. 8 inches away.<\/p>\n

Start moving your eyes along the lines from one end to the other. Repeat 5 times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can do these exercises without actually drawing the lines and the figures.<\/p>\n

When I was a child it was harder for me to imagine what was supposed to be on the paper.<\/p>\n

If you feel like you have a big imagination, there is no need to draw them.<\/p>\n

You could draw them at home and bring them anywhere with you.<\/p>\n

You just need somewhere to sit and concentrate\u00a0(what better way to spend your lunch break?).<\/p>\n

Norbekov\u2019s method<\/h4>\n

Mirzakarim Norbekov is a famous writer from Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n

In his books, he talks about alternative medicine and how we can heal our bodies using our minds and nature.<\/p>\n

His methods are deemed questionable by few. Nevertheless, his exercises can still be useful even if\u00a0you don\u2019t agree with his work.<\/p>\n

These are some of his well-known exercises:<\/p>\n

1. \u201cLook up and down\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep your head straight, gaze directed toward the ceiling.<\/p>\n

Imagine you are moving your eyes pointing to the inside of your skull (freaky, right?).<\/p>\n

Now look down. Bring your attention to the thyroid – imagine you are looking at it. Perform 8-10 times in each direction.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cTicker\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Look to the left \u2013 you should have the wall insight. Bring attention to the back of your left ear.<\/p>\n

Look to the right \u2013 you should have the wall insight. Bring attention to the back of your right ear. Perform 8-10 times in each direction.<\/p>\n

3. The third exercise is left without a name<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should look to the left, then look straight, after that you look to the right and then look\u00a0straight again.<\/p>\n

Perform 8-10 times in each direction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Norbekov also advises doing some easy gymnastics, which can help you improve your overall health\u00a0in addition to your eyesight.<\/p>\n

All of these exercises are taken from his book \u201cThe experience of a fool who had an epiphany about\u00a0how to get rid of his glasses\u201d – if you are interested to learn more about his teachings.<\/p>\n
