What exercices for eyes?

Sources:

Try accommodation, near–far pencil push-ups, smooth pursuit, and panoramic-gaze breaks.

  • Accommodation: Focus on an object as you bring it closer, then move it away and let your eyes relax at a comfortable distance. Practice for a few minutes, perhaps every other day.
  • Near–far pencil push-ups: Hold a pen at arm’s length, keep its tip in focus as you slowly bring it toward your nose, then move it back out. Try 10–25 repetitions, once or twice a day, a few times a week.
  • Smooth pursuit: Track a moving dot or object smoothly with your eyes. A few minutes each session is suggested; another recommended amount is 5–10 minutes, three times a week.
  • Panoramic gaze: After about 45 minutes of focused work, spend at least five minutes relaxing your gaze—ideally outside, looking into the distance or at the horizon rather than at a phone.
