Leave space between each row. In row one, type all capitals, one space in between each letter…row two, all lowercase, one space in between each letter…row three, all lowercase, no spaces…row four, wordlike groups of random letters arranged as if in a sentence.
Exercise: Hold the chart with both hands. Looking at row one, read each letter aloud left to right, then right to left. Then read every second letter…then every third letter. If your mind wanders, start over. Over time: When you master row one, try the same techniques with row two…then row three…then row four. If you find that you have memorized parts of the chart, make a new one using different letters. Preparation: Type a chart with six to eight rows of random capital letters, each letter about one-half inch tall or as tall as necessary for you to read them from 10 feet away.
Tack the chart to a wall and stand back 10 feet. Exercise: Hold a pencil horizontally, with its embossed letters facing you, about six inches from your nose or as close as possible without it looking blurry.
Read any letter on the pencil, then read any letter on the chart. Keep doing this, switching back and forth as fast as you can without letting the letters blur.
Over time: Do this with one eye covered, then the other. All you need is a pencil. Exercise: Hold a pencil horizontally at eye level 12 inches from your face or as far as necessary to see the pencil clearly. With both eyes, look at one particular letter on the pencil…keep looking while bringing the pencil closer to your face. If the letter blurs or doubles, it means that one eye is no longer accurately on target—so move the pencil back until the letter is clear once more…then try again to slowly bring the pencil closer while keeping the letter in focus.
No props are needed. Exercise: With your hands at chest height about eight inches in front of you, point your index fingers and touch the tips together, so that your index fingers are horizontal. Gaze at any target in the distance and, without changing your focus, raise your fingers into your line of sight. Still gazing at the distant object, pull your fingertips apart slightly—and observe that the hot dog is now floating in the air. Keep the hot dog there for two breaths…then look directly at your fingers for two breaths, noticing that the hot dog disappears.
Look again at the distant object and find the hot dog once again. Continue switching your gaze back and forth every two breaths. As your close-up vision improves, you may find that you need less-powerful reading glasses—or none at all—for your day-to-day activities.
A California optometrist has posted similarly free information online that offers additional exercises. He points to researcher done at University of California, Riverside and Brown University which used eye exercises to improve the eyesight of 16 younger people average age 22 and 16 older people average age 71 , and is published in Psychological Science. He recommends the following three exercises performed minutes, twice or three times per week:.
Improve near vision and far vision. Practice this simple eye exercise for three or four minutes a few days a week. Instructions: Look at a calendar on a wall about 10 feet away. In your hand, have another object with numbers or letters, such as a small calendar or an open book.
Cover the left eye with your hand. Look back and forth from the far object to the near object, focusing on and calling out a letter or number from each. Do this five to 10 times, calling out a different letter or number each time. Cover the right eye, and repeat the exercise. You also can use an eye patch to cover one eye and then the other. Corrective lenses correct only central vision , when the eyes focus straight ahead, so that you can read, drive and see details sharply.
But there are two key parts to the visual system—central and peripheral vision. Everyday enemy of peripheral vision: Stress. Under stress, people see less, remember less and typically the visual field constricts. Instructions: Sit at a table with your elbows on the table. Breathe easily and deeply, relaxing your body. Now cup your palms over your closed eyes, and visualize create mental imagery of blackness. Example: Visualize yourself out on the ocean on a moonless night on a black ship on a black sea.
The goal of the exercise is to see complete blackness. Want to keep your eyes and vision strong without resorting to corrective lenses or surgery? Consider trying these six superfoods for your eyes.

All these professions, and more, use a computer to complete at least some of their duties. Many of us are all but glued to the computer all day long! Fall conjures up cooling skies, tumbling leaves, and children settling into their classes. Chances are, though, when you sent the kids off to school this year, your supplies list included more than just old-fashioned notebooks and pencils.

This growing subspecialty of optometry uses vision therapy to go beyond the usual concerns of vision care.

The exercises and techniques are designed to strengthen and relax the muscles of your eye just as you would any other weak part of your body, improving your vision and helping you to see clearly -- naturally.
