how to increase visual acuity

Improving visual acuity can be approached from several angles, as discussed by Andrew Huberman:

• Practice Visual Focus: Focusing your visual system can improve the ability to concentrate and absorb information, which may also improve visual acuity. By narrowing visual attention to a small area and maintaining gaze, it activates neurons that release neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, epinephrine, and acetylcholine, which are associated with neuroplasticity and high attention levels 1.

• Dietary Intake: Consuming lutein-enriched egg yolks has been shown to increase macular pigment optical density, which is beneficial for high acuity vision—though it's important to manage risks such as salmonella from raw eggs 2.

• Balancing Near and Far Focus: Regularly switching from close-up work to looking at something in the distance can help maintain the health of the eye's lens and musculature, preventing it from getting stuck in a close-focus position. Every 30 minutes of focused work should ideally be followed by a brief period of relaxing the eyes and looking at panoramic views, and every 90 minutes of focused work should be paired with a more extended 20-30 minutes of non-up-close vision 3.
