Rainy Day Eye Exercises Part 2

Don’t let those rainy days keep you from doing your eye exercises.  Keep your vision improvement program on track! In this second of three blog post series, I will be sharing with you a great eye exercise that can be performed when venturing outside is not an option.

This great eye exercise that will help improve your eyesight is called the “Palming Eye Exercise’. Palming is a cornerstone eye exercise for all those people wanting to improve eyesight, but it also seems to be the most difficult one for people to do. It could be linked with people wanting to be active and finding it difficult to sit and do nothing for an extended period of time.




This is why rainy miserable weather is a great time to work on palming and to experiment with different lengths of time. It will show you the great benefits palming has to offer and, you may also find, that your eyes feel much better after palming for longer periods of time.

Palming works best when the room is dark to allow the optic nerve to completely rest. Due to the dark grim weather that normally is associated with rain, you can take full advantage of this and Palm.

Palming is best done in the morning when you are fully rested and is best used to prevent strain, instead of overcoming it. However, I am not saying Palming should not be used when our eyes are tired, in fact, on the contrary, palming is a great eye exercise to use when we feel tired.

Most of us have heard prevention is better than cure and palming is a great example of that. By palming in the mornings, we have consciously rested the eyes before another hard days work. It also allows us to be more in tune with our eyes throughout the day to make sure we are not straining. As always, I would love to hear your feedback on this post or any of my posts.

Rainy Day Eye Exercises Part 1

Rainy Day Eye Exercises Part 1
Everybody likes doing eye exercises when it is a beautiful sunny day and our eyes feel active, rejuvenated and are seeing clearer. However, what about those days when it’s miserable outside and as much as you want to improve your eyesight, the last thing you want to do is leave the house.


Unfortunately, not all of us are lucky enough to have continual sunny nice weather all year round. It is important to be able to adapt your eye exercises to your surroundings because consistency is key with an eye exercise program and wanting to improve your eyesight naturally.


In this first of three posts I will be sharing with you ways to adapt eye exercises so that they are better suited for poor weather. I will also show you which eye exercise that you can benefit from not being able to go outside.





The first eye exercise that can be done when the sun does not have his hat on is the ‘Skying Eye Exericse”. This can be done instead of sunning but still allows you to get all the great benefits that the sun has to offer.

What if you still do not want to leave the house? Well as a substitute, you can try full spectrum lights. These are designed to mimic the sun’s full spectrum of light. If you do not know what I am talking about, you can find them in our resources section.

The sun is around 10,000 watts, which would be difficult to replicate and even if you could, I do not think you would appreciate the electricity bill! So, it is important to keep in mind the light is not to replace the sun. However, on those rainy days or if you are limited to sun, it is better to adapt than not do the exercise at all.

Instead of performing the Sunning Eye Exercise outside with the sun, simply place the light in front of you as if it were the sun. close your eyes and turn your head from side to side. Although other benefits such as vitamin D are lost, you still get to work the constrictor muscles in the iris, which make the pupil small. When you turn the head again, the pupil dilates.

As always, I would love to hear your feedback on this post or any of my posts.

Top Tip for Eye Exercise Success

 
Eye exercises are an essential part of vision improvement. So then, how can we make sure we are not making the big mistake that so many of those who start doing eye exercises make?

Whether it is taking up running, yoga or any new activity, it seems to be human nature to try and be the best and get the quickest results possible in the smallest amount of time. As a consequence, time and time again, people find themselves getting injured or becoming unmotivated to continue the activity the following week or month.

 I am sure you have heard the phrase, 'The best things come to those who wait'. Well, instead of waiting, simply try to take your time when doing something new, especially when performing eye exercises. Instead of rushing to improve your eyesight, try to be relaxed when you are performing them.
Our eyes are under so much hidden strain through daily overuse, performing the eye exercises under further strain will work them too hard and could be the opposite of beneficial. Although, there are some eye exercises like palming, sunning and distance looking that are very relaxing in themselves, there are other eye exercises, like convergence, that are not.

 The easiest way to be relaxed when trying to improve your eyesight with eye exercise is to have a relaxed mindset when performing them. Try to think of them as part of your daily routine and don’t expect any immediate results. Keep a vision journal and make notes of any negative emotions or frustrations you may be experiencing when performing the eye exercises.

 The ideal end result from doing your eye exercises is a sense of visual relaxation. Your eyes should feel either more relaxed or more active in a positive way, rather than a sense of being overworked and strained. As with most activities in the body, the activities function better when the body and mind are relaxed.

It can be difficult and frustrating to learn, but performing the eye exercises in a relaxed way will help reduce eyestrain and improve eyesight quicker and better than under strain. As always, I would love to hear your feedback on this post or any of my posts.

The Hunger Games Eye Exercise

Can the Hunger Games really improve eyesight!? Am I suggesting you volunteer to enter the hunger games competition and start killing fellow humans? No...thankfully there is a safer way to improve your eyesight, by doing an easy and simple eye exercise.

 The eye exercise that will help improve your eyesight and in particular help reduce eye strain is related to eye dominance. To help explain this i will use the example of the main character in the Hunger Games movie Katniss Everdeen. Like all humans Katniss has a dominant eye that she relies on and uses more than the other.

 The dominant eye is developed from a young age when the develops a better brain eye connection and more nerve growth. The dominant eye can fixate and react quicker than than the other. Just like having a dominant hand it allows us to function better with that one particular eye.

 A great example of this would be when Katniss is in the Hunger Games uses the bow and arrow to aim at targets. The eye that she is using to aim with would be her dominant eye as this is the eye that she favors and will allow most accurate results.
Another example in our everyday lives rather than hunter other humans, is when we use a camera. The next time you take a photo you will realise that you use one particular eye every time. This eye will tend to be your dominant eye.

 There is a simple test for dominance which involves holding both hands up overlapping them creating a circle. Whilst looking at an object in the distance with both eyes open, close your left eye then your right. The eye which maintains the object is your dominant eye. For more details on finding your dominance you can follow this link.

 The problem with our modern day use of dominance is that we heavily over use it in our daily lives reading and using computers etc. This in balance of both eyes creates excessive strain on the visual system and overuse of the dominant eye creating fatigue. Whereas, Katniss who, in the hunger games, is using her eyes how nature intended by hunting and gathering for food etc, and is not creating the same strain we do.

 However, it would be unrealistic to ask everyone to take up hunting especially when it puts your life on the line! Instead you can perform the eye exercise of covering your dominant eye. This allows the dominant eye to rest and give the non dominant eye a chance to work.

 This eye exercise can be done by using a small piece of paper stuck to the bridge of the nose covering the dominant eye. You can also wear a pair of sunglass’s with one lens removed with the remaining lens covered with tape.

 Ideally you would be outside when performing this eye exercise covering, but you can also use it will doing house chores, reading a book, using the computer or watching TV. In particular performing this eye exercise while watching movies like The Hunger Games has particular benefit because there is plenty of fast action. This allows the eye to track quickly the action on the movie screen making the non dominant eye more active.

 However, those of you who are not familiar in doing this eye exercise and working the non dominant eye should start by doing it in small intervals of 5 or 10 minutes. The last thing we want to do is create more strain the non dominant eye so take is slow to begin with. As always, I would love to hear your feedback on this post or any of my posts.
