If you are over 40, you may start to notice some changes in your vision. Reading small text may become more difficult, and you may find yourself squinting more often.

While these changes are a natural part of aging, there are certain exercises you can do to improve your vision and keep your eyes healthy. The following exercises can help you maintain good eyesight and prevent eye problems in the future.

Exercise 1: Eye Rotation

This exercise helps to increase the flexibility of the eye muscles and improve eye coordination. Sit in a comfortable position and look straight ahead.

Slowly move your eyes to the left as far as you can, hold for a few seconds, and then slowly move your eyes to the right as far as you can, hold for a few seconds. Repeat this exercise 10 times.

Focusing: Exercise 2

This exercise helps to improve your ability to focus your eyes. Hold your thumb about 10 inches away from your face and focus on it. Slowly move your thumb towards your face until it is about 3 inches away.

Then slowly move it back out to the starting position. Repeat this exercise 10 times.

Palming: Exercise 3

This exercise helps to relax and soothe your eyes. Sit in a comfortable position and rub your hands together until they feel warm. Close your eyes and place your palms over your eyes, with the fingers of each hand overlapping at the forehead.

Make sure that no light is coming in through the gaps between your fingers. Try to visualize a relaxing scene, such as a beach or a forest. Stay in this position for a few minutes, or as long as you like.

Conclusion

These exercises can help improve your vision and prevent eye problems. They are easy to do and require no special equipment. However, if you have any concerns about your eyesight, it is important to see an eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam.

Your eye doctor can recommend other exercises or treatments that may be helpful.
