1. Focus change
This exercise works by putting a strain on your concentration. It should be carried out while seated.
• Keep your pointer finger a couple of inches from your eye.
• Concentrate on your finger.
• Slowly slide your finger away from your face, retaining your focus.
• Take a step back and gaze into the distance.
• Concentrate on your outstretched finger and bring it slowly back to your eye.
• Take a step back and concentrate on anything in the distance.
• Do this three times more.
2. Near and far focus
This is yet another exercise in concentration. It should also be done from a seated position.
• Focus on your thumb for 15 seconds, holding it around 10 inches from your face.
• Find a 10 to 20-foot-distance object and concentrate on it for 15 seconds.
• Return your concentration to your thumb.
• Repeat five times.
3. Figure eight
This exercise should also be performed while seated.
• Concentrate on a location on the floor about 10 feet in front of you.
• With your eyes, trace an imaginary figure eight.
• Trace for 30 seconds before switching directions.
4. The rule of 20-20-20
For many people, eye strain is a serious issue. Human eyes are not designed to be fixated on a single thing for extended periods. The 20-20-20 rule can help minimize digital eye strain if you work at a computer all day. To put this guideline into action, glance at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
