Without healthy eyesight performing work related activities and academic projects would become downright difficult. This brings into focus the need for devoting more attention to doing the things we need to do to protect our precious eyesight. There are certain stress related activities and bad visual habits we are exposed to in our daily lives that can do damage to our eyes. The good news however is that we can take certain preventive steps to minimize, reduce, or even eliminate the negative effects that such activities have on our eyes. The solution involves paying greater attention to the importance of practicing eye relaxation techniques. These soothe strained eye muscles; relieve stress in the visual system, and promote better natural eyesight.
Many of us grew up in the school system whereby excessive close up work was the norm. This was the case in terms of the many hours spent reading and studying from textbooks, papers and keeping our eyes fixated on one close up point such as a black board. These activities without periodic breaks create eye strain. While education is vital we cannot avail ourselves of its usefulness in advancing our careers and degrees without taking the necessary preventive steps to protect and preserve our vision health.
The key to achieving this goal is to solve the problem of eye strain by identifying the bad visual habits that are causing these problems. Then, we can replace these with good visual habits that increase eye health. Therefore, what are some examples of bad visual habits? Such habits involve a tendency to keep the eyes fixated on one particular close up point such as a computer for prolonged periods of time. Others include staring and concentrating on your close up work too hard without blinking. Another includes reading and studying without looking up from your close up work. Such activities lead to poor eyesight due to the fact that the eyes function best when they are moving around and not fixed on one particular near point for a long time. Such habits cause our eyes to send us signals in the form of eye strain,burning eyes, eye pain and eye discomfort etc. Our visual system is sending us these signals because it is alerting us to the fact that we need to take breaks to relax our eyes and relieve the discomfort in our visual system.
Here are some relaxation eye exercise techniques we can use to replace these bad visual habits with for better eyesight: If you are sitting in a chair in an office get into the habit of taking breaks to move your eyes around. Our eyes are the busiest organs and function best when they are moving around without being stuck on one object. Take deep breaths at the computer and blink frequently. Get into the habit of looking up from your close up work at frequent intervals for a few seconds. Take time to close your eyes and visualize the muscles in your eyes relaxing. Do this for a few seconds at various intervals whenever you are engaged in close up work. These eye relaxation techniques while simple, nevertheless, do make a difference in relieving eye strain and improving vision.
Poor eyesight does not have to be something that you have to live with forever. You can take regular steps in terms of the practice of eye relaxation techniques that can help to relax and soothe the visual system, while ultimately, increasing eyesight for a lifetime.
