If you’ve read around for a while on the subject, you’ll find a lot of ways to improve your eyesight. Some people say eat more carrots. Some say don’t watch so much TV. Some others would say not to read in the dark.

But  do those advice really address the underlying problem? I believe not.

I believe your eyesight degenerates because there is unnecessary placed on it. You place strain on your eyes when you stare – a common practice especially when watching TV or reading. This strain if often worsened by wearing glasses, which will then place more strain on your eyes because it encourages to stare more.

Eye exercises addresses this underlying symptom. Repetition is the mother of all skill. If you perform eye exercises religiously, soon you’ll find yourself once again learn how to see the way you used to – the way without strain. This is because eye exercises are designed to simulate the way your eyes are meant to be used.

Eye exercises, therefore, do not “strengthen” your eye muscles. There is no need to. Your eye muscles are already too strained, and therefore do not require “strengthening”. What it requires is relaxation.

I have to admit – the term “eye exercises” is a little misleading. But the term is meant to be more like “breathing exercises”. The practice relaxes you – do it enough times and you’ll subconsciously learn the principles behind the action.
