Many eyes only ever move within the confines of a screen these days.
The muscles involved eventually lose their tone like untrained legs get weak.
Your focus drops and your head starts to ache.
/How to Exercise Your Eye Muscles for the 21st Century
1/ Basic movements
You have twelve eye muscles to expand your visual experience.
These basic motions will ensure they active if you look at a screen for a living.
Do them at the end of your day.
2/ Tracking Exercises
Train your eyes to follow a moving target without losing focus.
The founder of @posture_pro Annette Verpillot was the first health professional to recommend such exercises to me.
This video shows one of my clients doing Figure 8’s.
3/ Go outside
You’ll read this one a lot around Twitter because it’s important.
Your body needs the sunlight, and outdoor landscapes are much more stimulating than a confined room.
Alternate your focus between near and far targets.
4/ Eightball Training
This method is by far the most intense I’ve tried so far.
Your eye muscles work like crazy and you feel a lot of blood flow - It was overwhelming at first.
You hold the sheet close to your face and focus on one ball at a time, then 2, 3, up to 5 at once.
The windows to your soul.
Eye exercises work your brain out.
