If I ask you to make a quick list, say 5 items, of things you consider crucial to living a healthy and comfortable life, what are the chances of that list including eye exercises as one? Close to nil I am guessing? In fairness, it never was a widely known practice, but in today’s tech driven world, now, more than ever, exercising our eyes is becoming crucial. 

Let’s take a while and go over the things that over tax our eyes. First things first, there’s television. Now, television has been around for quite some time now and when we were children we were warned that too much of it can cause damage to our eyes. But have we ever heeded them? Look around you and you see more people with glasses than those without. Of course this is all relative to where you live, cause where I am from, that is the case. But still the fact remains that television is a leading cause of eye damage. 

Another main cause for eye degradation is one of the most classic examples, remember the reading tips? I am sure even your grandparents heard this from their parents. That is, reading in poor light. Now, reading per se is not harmful of course, but reading in poor light or against the light can cause massive strain on your eyes that can cause some problems like having to wear glasses. Problems we can remedy using proper eye exercises. 

Then we come to computers. If you take a poll today, I’d say that more than 90% of businesses use computers in some form. As a result, whatever our jobs may be, we are exposed to the dangers a computer screen may cause to our eyes. Though some jobs are more computer heavy than others, we all use them in one way or the other. Especially with the sudden surge of popularity of social networks, more and more people are exposed to computer screens. Aside from these, what else can cause our eyes damage? Well, there are cell phones. In an age where the number of cell phones are close to (if not exceed) the world’s population, our eyes are strained more so than we were ten years ago. Especially with the small screens, our eyes take strains that our ancestors never imagined. With all the gadgets that use screens, from phones to computers to mp3 players and GPS modules, we are all at risk to having our eyes being damaged beyond repair.

So what do all these show? Well, it just gives an idea on how much eye exercise is needed in today’s world if we all want to have healthy and sharp eyes. Sure some ailments are genetic, but some can be prevented. Which we want to do really. BY learning and practicing the basics of eye exercises, we may prevent our need for glasses or contact lenses. So before it is too late, try to learn the right eye exercise for the life you lead. It just takes a few minutes of your times, but the benefits of it will last years. Less migraines and headaches too!
