Eye Stretches

         Everyone should do them. Look as far as you can in each direction and hold for three seconds. It has really helped reduce eye strain for me. It's good for everyone to do. Have to wait to pick someone up? Two, three minutes of eye streches. Cooking dinner and waiting for something to get finished? Do some eye streches. Waiting for your kids to get out of the bathroom? Eye stretches. Anyone that has to work on a computer or with fine detail for an extended period of time should definetly consider eye stretches. My eyes used to ache and become fatigued after an hour or two of working on the computer. By the end of a term paper, I would be squinting out of tiny slits just to keep the words in focus, but I noticed a difference after a couple of weeks of doing stretches five nights a week. Now I can work for hours if I need to without getting a headache or everything becoming blury. It only takes 2 to 5 minutes, depending on how much time you want to devote to it, and the benefits are fantastic.
