Vision and Relaxation
Spending at least 10 minutes a day looking at distant objects can significantly enhance your eyesight and promote relaxation. This practice not only keeps the eye's lens elastic but also triggers neurochemicals that reduce stress. Experiencing expansive views, especially in urban settings, can provide a soothing escape from the confines of daily life.In this clip

When one is outside and wants to minimize myopia progression, is it important to look at things as far away as possible for as long as possible, or is it equally beneficial to just be outside and let the eyes move organically?
When trying to minimize myopia progression while spending time outside, is it important to look at things as far away as possible for as long as possible, or is it equally beneficial to just be outside and let the eyes move organically? I've been actively looking at faraway buildings and hilltops, but it has made me somewhat neurotic and stressed, and I sometimes feel that my eyes relax just as much by moving around on their own. Is there any scientific data supporting the idea that looking at distant mountains is significantly more effective for eyestrain and myopia progression than simply being outside?
