Eye exercises. Do they work?

Eye exercises. Do they work?

So over the last year, my eye sight has been fading (23). Last time I checked it was beyond 20/20 but now It's dropped to 10/20. My doctor said (in a nice way) it's because I've a shut-in staring at things very close to myself and to do some "zooming/ focusing" exercises to see if they improve over the next month before seeing an optometrist.

So thought I'd check in with you lads. Do eye exercises actually work and which exercises work?

Just a heads up, that's not how visual acuity scores work. 10/20 would actually be an improvement over 20/20.

The first # is the size of the lettering you can read; smaller # = smaller font. The second is for distance, which is almost always 20ft as a standard.

> t. 230/20 fag here

Actually my b it's late. First # is distance, second is font size. It's 2:22am excuse me.

Bumping for interest. Eye excercises is like mewing, no one can tell if they work as an adult or not

Not in my country.

We've established my eyesight has gotten worse; any tips on eye exercising?

are you a retard

Some options a quick jewgle search brought up

Palming
>Rub the palms of your hands vigorously, until they are warm and place them gently over your eyelids. Let the warmth of the palms transfer onto the eyes. You can feel the eye muscles relax as your eyes find relief in the darkness. Persist until the heat from the hands has been completely absorbed by the eyes. Repeat two to three times.

Blinking
>Sit comfortably with your eyes open. Blink 10-15 times very quickly. Close your eyes and relax for 20 seconds. Repeat this 4-5 times.

Zooming
>Another effective exercise for the eyes is zooming. As you may guessed from the name, you make an object zoom for your eyes so as to shift the focus of your vision. Sit on a chair with your arm outstretched and your thumb up. Now, bend your arm gradually and draw it closer to your eyes, thus zooming the thumb in focus.

Shifting
>Shifting is about moving or rotating your eyeballs from one direction to another. Look to your rightward corner and then shift your gaze gradually to the opposite direction. The tiny eye muscles get more active and healthy with the spurt of blood pumped in from the shifting.

Figure of eight
>Sit with legs straight in front of your body with the left hand on the left knee. Hold the right fist above the right knee, with a straight elbow and the thumb pointing upwards. Keep your head still and focus your eyes on the thumb. Draw a figure eight with your thumb, keeping the elbow straight all the time. Repeat this exercise five times each in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction. Next repeat the process with the left thumb.

Looked up a website with 11 different eye exercises. Probably mostly bullshit but here they go

I watched a Shaolin movie with this kinda shit. Go for user.

Blinkquickly and slightly for 2minutes.
