Keep your eyes moving in different directions
Starring at television, computer screen or mobile phone is one of the worst things you can do to your eyes. Fixed vision when done for a prolonged period of time is extremely dangerous to your eyes--as it can stress the eyes. Even reading a book can stress your eyes and that is why many students get such exhausted eyes especially during exam period. It is recommended that every 5 minutes; look around at something that is about 10 feet away. It is imperative to keep your eyes in constant motion because they can be programmed for fixed focus, and that is bad.
Other eye exercises
Focusing your eyes from close objects to far objects is another brilliant exercise that will benefit your eye. To perform this exercise, focus your eyes on anything close for some few seconds. Then, focus away to an object that is somewhat far away from you. Concentrate on the object for some seconds, and then look away to an object that's close again. Repeat these simple steps for as many times as possible. Blinking your eyes is something that comes naturally and automatically--that is, in most cases. Blinking benefits your eyes by keeping them moist, thus helps you focus. And most vital, blinking refreshes your eyes. But in this modern existence, our eyes tend not to get the normal blinking it needed. We stare for many hours at TV and computer screens, and pay little or no attention to the rate of our blinking. If you blink or roll your eyes in different directions, you are actually helping improving your vision. Whether you have this sort of habit or not, sit back at a comfortable chair and train your eyes to roll and blink while at a screen. Do this exercise on regular basis.
