Easy Eyesight Exercises To Maintain Quality Vision

It's safe to say that many of us have pretty decent eyesight. It is also safe to say that those of us that have this decent eyesight will want to keep it sharp as the years march on. As we do grow older, most will experience a dulling of all of their senses to some extent. Perhaps the most noteworthy being their eyesight, but there are things that you can do to prevent this from happening through some simple eyesight exercises.

I should note however, that these might not work for all people. Simple exercises like these will work to keep a natural deterioration from taking place due to old age. However, you cannot expect simple exercises to save your eyes from genetic abnormalities and progressions.

The first exercise is as simple as focusing your attention on objects that are a good distance away. Generally as far away as you can still make things out. You should identify subtle things about what you are looking at, which cause you to focus even harder and improve your long distance vision. You could use signs as the objects, as you can focus on the lettering and sentences. This should be done once every thirty minutes or so throughout a day.

The second of the exercises involves your imagination. It requires you to imagine that you are standing before a giant clock. You should start in the middle of the clock and look around towards different directions in accordance with hour locations. This can be done with your eyes closed, so it is a fine addition to your wind down routine at the end of your day before you sleep.

The final exercise is specifically geared toward your focus. You simply have to look towards something with symbols or shapes, and then close your eyes again. Open them and return to looking at the symbols. Continue opening and closing your eyes until your eyes take little to no time to adjust to the objects. This will improve your focus and depth perception.

You can do all of these exercises with little to no trouble. You should start with these immediately if you want to experience the results that they promise.

Vision Improvement

Vision Improvement,

Most people never think about what it would be like if they couldn't see. How would you feel if you couldn't see your children or grandchildren, a sunflower facing the sun or the beauty of the stars sparkling across the sky on a dark night? Your eyes are your most valuable possession, but the majority of the people seldom even think about them. Here are some things you can do to improve your viaion.

Every year there are almost 50, 000 people that lose their sight unnecessarily. Incredibly there are some 80 million people in the United States that are at risk for eye problems that are capable of causing you to lose your vision completely. Every person needs to learn to face the risk of losing their eyesight.

If you are a smoker, stop smoking. If you care about maintaining your eyesight, you don't have any other options. More smokers suffer from dry eye, cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration than people who don't smoke. Smokers also have a much higher risk of losing their sight than any other group.

Drinking goji berry juice and eating blueberries and yogurt in the morning is good for your eyesight. Both of these fruits have a high concentration of antioxidants. These antioxidants neutralize the free radicals in the body, and keep them from causing serious disease. Following this suggestion can lower your risk of macular degeneration.

Walking fast four times a week will help keep your eyes healthy, and help them function correctly. Studies have shown that glaucoma patients that walk 45 minutes four or five times a week, no longer needed to take their glaucoma medicine. Scientists believe that it is because exercise lowers the intraocular pressure.

Begin to follow these things to improve your eyesight. Don't wait until your eye doctor gives you the bad news that your vision is failing. Be glad you can see, and do everything possible to protect your vision.
