One of the more interesting places in which to find eye exercises is from yoga. That discipline teaches many of the people who practice it how to also work on strengthening their eyes and their visual concentration. This helps if you have a job in which you often have to sit in front of the computer monitor throughout the day and sometimes feel that you have lost your ability to focus.

Here some of the ways Yoga suggests improving your visual strength.

1. Focus your eyes on the tip of your nose — but do it without blinking. Stay focused on the tip of your nose for as long as you feel comfortable. When you need a break, stop, close your eyes and relax.

2. Focus on your “third eye” without blinking. According to yoga, your “third eye” is the spot between the eyebrows above your nose. While you are focusing, close your eyes and relax. This may feel strange and tough to do at first. Don’t get frustrated though, as you keep focusing, it will become easier and easier for you to.

3. Now, without turning your head, try to focus both eyes on your left shoulder. Try to keep this focus for as long as you can. After you have reached your stopping point, you need to close your eyes and relax. Then turn your focus to your right shoulder.

This should give you a good starting point for how yoga suggests to exercise your eyes

Interested in learning some eye exercises? Well, first you need to find out what kind of shape your eye muscles are in right now. So before you get started, here is an easy way to find out what kind of shape your eye muscles are starting out in. Don’t forget, though, you don’t want this to hurt. So if you feel uncomfortable or dizzy, you need to stop this exercise and close your eyes, while looking straight ahead. Relax if you start to feel funny, too.

If you are ready to measure your eye muscles, you’ll need to follow these steps.

* First, while keeping your head steady, look up and find the edge of your range of vision. That’s where there is darkness where you field of vision ends.

* Next, follow that darkness all the way around to the right, down, and back up to the top on the other side.

* After that, you need to look straight ahead and relax. You are next going to check out the end of your field of vision on your other side.

Do this again going to the left, down, around and back up.

* Remember, if you feel any sort of pain, stop and slow down.

* After a while, you should be able to do 10 circles at a time. This will test the limits of your eye muscle strength and help you in the long run.

If you work on the computer or another job that requires you to really strain your eyes throughout the day, then you probably want and need some eye exercises to keep your vision in tiptop shape.

In order to do the following exercise, you don’t need any special equipment, just a really good imagination.

It starts with visualization:

* First, you need to imagine some sort of object. It can be something around the house, or a shape or even a word. Try to imagine it about two feet in front of you. This may be difficult at first, but remember the goal is to strengthen your eyes. You want to be able to visualize something simple that you won’t be distracted away from, but something interesting enough that it stands out in your mind.

* Focus on this image and watch as it moves away from you.

* Keep focusing on it and imagine it shrinking down to only big enough to where you can see it clearly.

* Imagine it moving off into the horizon, getting smaller. Put it a mile or more away.

* Now watch it slowly return to its original size.

* Do this about ten times, always focusing on the object you have visualized. Do this twice a day and your vision will be helped.

If you are on the computer a lot, you may end up having some trouble focusing your eyes. If you want to take care of this problem, you are going to need to do some exercises to strengthen your eyesight. Here are some ways to do that.

* First, go outside, where you can look in the distance for about a mile. You don’t need to make it out clearly, just enough to work on your focusing muscles. You want to look at items of different distances.

* Look at something close to you, about three feet will do. Try to focus on it as clearly as you can.

* Then look at something about 30 feet away and try to focus on that as clearly and detailed as you can.

* Now look about a block away. How clearly can you focus on that.

* Finally, look at something as far away on the horizon as you can. Can you make that clear and detailed by really focusing? Good.

Now return to the closest point again.

What you want to do is go through these four steps several times a day. This will keep your focusing muscles strong, no matter what else you look at throughout the day.
