EYE-SO-METRICS

 

Here’s a way you can reduce eyestrain for sure, and myopia possibly:

exercise your eyes’ extrinsic (outside) muscles. This is my personal adaptation

of one of the Dr. Bates eye exercises (Bates, William: Better Eyesight Without

Glasses, available via interlibrary loan).

 

Here goes: Cup your hands and gently press the palms over your eye

sockets, without touching the eyes or eyelids themselves. Your fingers should be

pointing out and upwards, towards your

hairline, or where your hairline used to be. Now press your palms

evenly inward, creating a uniform pressure all around the skull and muscles that

enclose your eyes.

 

Done right, it will feel as if you are wearing deep-sea diving goggles, and we

all know exactly what THAT feels like, don’t we.

 

As you press, “look” to the left. It will be dark, of course, but you can feel

the eye muscles at work. Now “look” to the right. (Now stand up. Sit down.

Fight, fight, fight. Just kidding! Say seated and relax.)

 

Continue to press,

and “look” up, then down. Repeat all four motions. Then repeat once more, and

then again. Now easily remove your hands, slowly open your eyes, and wait a bit

before

you put your ‘specks on again. How’s that feel? Tension gone? Vision a tad

sharper?

 

Way to go! Try to do these exercises three times daily. And

you can

tell your friends you “palmed” another hint from the DOCTOR YOURSELF

Newsletter!
