Tired eyes? Hyperopia? Myopia? Eye training: Exercise your eyes and see better - perhaps you also will be able to get rid of your glasses and loose some headache in the deal
It's not unusual that visual defects and headache is the result of people using their eyes in the wrong way and that they never exercise their eyes. To sit for hours and stare into a book or a computer screen at the same distance and from the same angle is for the muscles of the eye the same thing as it is for the legs to sit still on an aeroplane or a train for several hours - the problem is that people in today's society have gotten used to this eye torment and take hardly no notice of it. This has gone so far that for some the muscles of the eye are so stiff that they rather turn the whole head than just the eyes when seeing something in the periphery. The eyes needs training, and if you utilize the following simple exercises it might even happen that you can discard your reading glasses after a while.
Do like this:
The first part of the eye exercise is good for the muscles surrounding the eyeball. Look at something on the right in your field of vision. Keep your eyes on that object and turn your head to the left as far as possible without loosing sight of whatever you've choose to look at. Do the same thing but in reverse; fix your stare at something on the left and turn your head rightwards as far as you can. Repeat the procedure in all directions; up and down and in the four diagonal directions. Repeat the entire exercise a few times. The first times you perform this exercise you will probably experience some pain and perhaps even headache and nausea - but those symptoms will disappear in time and are signs that you really are in need of this exercise. But be careful. It might be a good idea not to perform this exercise on the bus or in similar circumstances - people might believe that you are having a seizure of some kind.
The second part of the eye training prevents the lens of the eye from getting stiff and exercises the small muscles inside the eye which shape the lens and thus help you focus on things you look at. Hold up your finger in front of you and focus on it. Move the finger towards you as close as you can get without loosing focus. Then look outside the window and focus on the horizon. Repeat a few times.
Many visual defects such as myopia - short-sightedness - and hyperopia - long-sightedness are a result of that the eyeball is not perfectly spherical. Many times myopia is the result of the growth of the brain which has "flattened" the eyeball from behind. The exercises described above might if practised regularly help shape the eyeball into a more spherical shape and thus also improve your sight.
So, you deem yourself worthy to utter something about this entry. Very well, start writing then:

um, my right eye can't see very far and clear. but my left eye is just perfect. what should i do to see better with my right eye?

The exercises will not worsen things, if you haven't trained your eye muscles before your sight will most likely improve, even if your strength of vision is different for your eyes. However you should let a doctor check that "bad" eye of yours.

Begin to try without, if that is too uncomfortable then put your glasses on. Note that if these exercises have effect on you you might have to adjust your glasses sooner or later.

Hi thx alot for the advice, but i'm wondering if there is a certain age that this exercise won't work. I heard that myopia can be stabilize at a certain age, will this exercise help even when it's stabilize?

my daughter is having hyperopia. REVn 6/18 c 5.5/ 1.50DC*90degree 6/9- LEVn 6/36 c 5.5/2.00DC*90degree 6/18-
The doctor has given the glasses. After 6 months also there is no improvement. Now he has given the extersize of eye patchers like closing one eye for one week and other one week. Pl advise us
these exercises are really very effective in improving vision and making the eyes relaxed...

everything you say sound plausible and would will try them out-except that I don't understand why you would myopia is a result of the brain compressing the eye anteriorly when the the eye is completed enclosed in the bony orbit and separate from the brain-pretty hard bone -So that theory of eye ball lengthening is not plausible

rawle: The bones in the scull are soft when they grow and take shape somewhat after their content.
Posted by: rawle
2008-09-29
that may be true coming out of the womb, but many people develop these refractive disorders AFTER the bones have ossified. I recently dissected the eyes on a cadaver by breaking through the roof of the orbit (above which, sits the frotal lobes of the brain) -I observed that bone is indeed hard diploic (our major tools were a chisel and a mallet), and the bones of the other walls are just as solid. I therefore find the explanations of the ciliary muscle not relaxing fully or lens losing elasticity, etc more plausible.

one question about the second part.
focus it with boths eyes, or shut one, and focus with the other and at the end, you shut the trained eye and train the other?! otherwise, you will going to be cross-eyed.

Will this exercise help align the eyes? my right eye get a bit dis-aligned when I'm really tired, just late night when i'm really tired (but it's usually normal in daytime).
will this exercise help?
Posted by: Max Magnus
2009-04-18
Dodi: The exercise will probably make things a little bit better, but what you need when you are really tired is rest and sleep - no exercises in the world will replace that need.

2009-06-24
It's a question that actually can't be answered. I don't know, but I have no problems with my sight and most of my close relatives need glasses and I suspect that one of the reasons that my sight has stayed intact is due to regular exercise.
Posted by: Justin
2009-06-24
During the first exercise, I quickly lose the ability to maintain strict focus on the object as my head turns. I can still see the object, but it is no longer the focus of my attention. I find that as my head turns my eyes begin to focus on other objects, but my real focus is still on the pen (the object I used), it's just that the focus area of my eye can't possibly (or, I don't think it can possibly) maintain the sort of focus it could when the object was much closer to the focal point of my field of vision. What I'm wondering is whether this is just how everyone is, or if maybe I'm going too far out of my field of vision (since I can't maintain strict focus on the object as my head moves to the extremes of my visual field).
Posted by: Max Magnus
2009-06-24
You do not need to see the object in your periphery sharply, you only need to aim your sight at it as accurate as you manage to. The exercise is similar to the gymnastic exercise were you stand up with your legs straight trying to reach your toes; it doesn't really matter if you reach your toes - you still get the exercise needed.

I've been trying the excercises now for two days. So far the results are rather unpredictable. Sometimes my short sightedness gets better and other times it generally seems worse. Is this due to the exercises tiring the eye? Is this normal?

When doing second i dont feel anything, is this noraml? And how many exercises i should do everyday? It wont get worse if i do it too often right?
Posted by: Max Magnus
2009-08-14
Do the exercises when you feel like they are needed, twice a day or so. There's no risk doing them too often, it's the same principle as when moving and exercising any muscles in your body. Some results will come instantly and some will take a few weeks to become apparent.
Posted by: Paulius
2009-08-14
Thanks for the reply max magnus, but i also wanted to know is it normal that i dont feel anything when doing second exercise?
Posted by: Max Magnus
2009-08-14
It might be that you already use your eyes in a manner that keeps the eye muscles in shape.
Well i will try... anyways.. i just want to share my experience having this kind of eye problem. It was all due to excessive stare to computer monitor. i lost the balance and i am in seeing-trouble...
