Exercise 6. Watch time with your eyes

Imagine that you are standing in front of a really big clock. Look at middle of clock. Then look at any hour mark, without turning your head. Look back at center. Then look at another hour mark. Do this at least 12 times. You can also do this exercise with your eyes closed.

When doing exercises, make sure that you're not facing anybody, or else that they know you're doing eye exercises. Otherwise they might think you have gone nuts.

If you can spare 10-15 minutes a day to do these exercises, it would be very beneficial for health of your eyes. But it is even more important to do exercises regularly, than it is to do them for a long time. Even 30-60 seconds of eye movement every hour is very helpful. For example, when your computer takes its sweet time to do something, most people just swear at poor thing and waste time, but you can make a few circles with your eyes. Even first day you do this, you should notice that, when you finished working, your eyes aren't as tired as usual.
