Eye Stress Relief Excercises How much time do you spend in front of your laptop or PC?
Have you ever given a lot of thought to it? Well maybe it’s time you started.
Having good eyesight is essential for the smooth functioning of everyday life and the way things are right now, it seems like technology is the only way forward.
From tiny hand held screens that hardly ever leave our palms, to big overhead projectors necessary for the person in the back row, computers have definitely become a necessary part of our lives.
We spend countless hours staring at the computer screen in order to earn a living - never mind the time we spend on it for recreation. Of course with every excessive action, there has to be a consequential reaction.
Spending a lot of time in front of a computer can put huge amounts of strain on our eyes, so we need to rebalance the scales. Why not start by nurturing your overworked eyes with these practical and non intrusive eye exercises. They’re easy and simple to perform and being non intrusive, they won’t interfere with your busy lifestyle. Instead they could end up being a breath of fresh air floating into your day. These eye exercises can be performed ABSOLUTELY ANYWHERE at ANYTIME:
1) Sit comfortably. Focus your gaze on the tip of your nose without blinking. Count to ten, close your eyes
to relax and repeat this exercise at least five more times.
2) Sit comfortably looking forward with your head straight. Look at your right shoulder without turning
your head. Count to ten in that position. Relax by closing your eyes. You should do the same thing
looking at the other shoulder. Do this exercise five times for each side.
3) Imagine that you are looking at a large clock. First let your eyes focus at the centre of the clock. Now,
without moving your head, look at a number on the clock face and count to ten. Bring your gaze back to
the centre and focus on another number counting to ten again. Repeat ten times.
4) Look towards a window and sit about 6 inches away from it. Make a mark at the centre of it at eye level
and then focus on a distant object while counting to ten. After this focus on the mark again and repeat
five times.
5) First hold a pen at arm's length away from you and focus on it. Bring it slowly towards you without
breaking your focus and then back to arm's length. Repeat minimum five times.
6) Sitting in a relaxed position, roll your eyeballs at least five times in one direction and then repeat the
eye roll to the other direction.
7) Look to a distance without any focus on an object. Do this for few minutes throughout the day. This is
recommended if you use computers frequently.
Don’t feel obliged to perform all of these exercises at one time. The idea is that you take the ones you like or can remember and have them stored in your mental roller desk to use anytime and anywhere.
