Enhance Your Vision
Smooth pursuit is essential for tracking moving objects and maintaining healthy vision. Engaging in activities that promote this skill, like visually tracking a ball or watching live sports, can strengthen the eye's muscles and improve overall visual function. Regular practice, even just a few minutes a week, can help counteract the decline in vision often caused by prolonged close-up tasks.In this clip

Why is it beneficial to spend time outside when the horizon is far away, as discussed in the episode The Science of Vision, Eye Health & Seeing Better | Huberman Lab Podcast #24 and the clip Vision and Relaxation?
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?
