- 1). Close one eye and focus the open eye on the point of a pencil held around 6 inches away. After a few seconds look out of your window, focusing on a more distant object. After a few more seconds, return your focus to the pencil. If you have no problems with your sight, the adjustment will be effortless; otherwise, you will feel muscular effort around the eyeball. This muscular strengthening, done daily, could improve your focus.
- 2). Tilt your head slightly backwards and look slightly downwards to see the end of your own nose. Shift your gaze towards a more distant object, before again focusing on the end of your nose. Repeat this exercise four or five times. This will work additional eye muscles, due to the different direction you are moving your gaze, as well as helping your focus.
- 3). Roll your eyes around in a circle; do the circular motion to the left and upward, then to the right and downward, creating a circle. Then do this in reverse by rolling them the other way around. Repeat numerous times to feel your eye muscles working.
- 4). Squeeze your eyes tightly closed for 5 seconds before opening them as wide as possible for several seconds. After doing this about eight times, close your eyes and massage them in circular motions with the tips of your fingers. Do this for about 1 minute.
- 5). Trace an imaginary number eight with your eyes, starting from the upper left corner of your eye and moving downwards. Reverse the direction to repeat the exercise. Do this around ten times.
