A sight for strong eyes: Use these eye exercises from Karen Sparrow, education advisor for the Association of Optometrists, to maximise your vision

Ease fatigue

This 'near-far' focus and 'break, blink, breathe' technique will help reduce eye fatigue.
1 Every 20 minutes, focus for 15 seconds on a distant object – something on the other side of the room.
2 Then gaze at an object up close for 10-15 seconds. Look back at the distant object and focus again.
3 Blink quickly a few times, close your eyes, breathe deeply and relax. Repeat the process five times.

Reduce tension

The ‘squeeze-stretch’ reduces tension, and can easily be integrated into your daily routine.
1 Close your eyes as tightly as possible. Then squeeze them hard, so that the muscles contract.
2 Hold this position for approximately three seconds and then let go quickly and let the muscles relax.
3 Now stretch your eyes by opening them wide, hold for three seconds and rest. Blink a few times. Repeat five times.

Increase range

This exercise will help flex your extraocular muscles, which control eye movement.
1 Moving clockwise first, roll your eyes to follow the extremes of your vision. Take care not to push too hard.
2 Once you have completed a clockwise circle, reverse the movement. Repeat twice in each direction.
3 When you have finished, blink quickly a few times, close your eyes and relax.
