If you work on a computer all day or spend a lot of time in front of a screen, then keep reading! Staring at a computer screen all day (and yes, reading your Kindle counts) puts a strain on your eyes. A slower blink rate and poor lighting can contribute to computer-related eyestrain. Like you, millions of Americans today suffer from fatigued and overworked eyes as a result of using computers for work, school and entertainment. In addition, prolonged screen time has a strong connection with obesity, and increases the risk of various vision ailments, including blurred vision, loss of focusing power, and dry aching eyes.

People who have used these exercises have reported healthier eyes with clearer vision.

Part 3: Eye Rolling

Human beings were not created to focus long hours on close objects. We were designed for prolonged long distance viewing. Screens and smartphones force users to focus their eyes intently at a close distance for a long time. With all the new technology and gadgets available, almost all of our processing is happening at a near distance putting extra strain on the eye muscles. Luckily there are simple, natural exercises to combat eye strain, like Eye Rolling. Eye rolling stretches and conditions the extraocular muscles which hold the eyes in their sockets, improving nutrient flow around the eyes. It’s as simple as closing your eyes and rolling them around in circular motions. This exercise will lubricate your eyes and ease the strain on the muscles.

Check out this 45-second Eye Rolling exercise below, from Dr. Steven Beresford's Power Vision Program, for how to destrain and refocus your eyes correctly:
