Vision Therapy Exercise for Home

In this blog I am going to share vision therapy exercises which anyone can do easily at home. So let's get started..

Before performing this exercises you should have a comprehensive binocular vision exam to find any vision issues that you might have.

It is also recommended to perform these exercises with a licensed optometrist about licensed therapists.

Exercising your eyes is a lot like exercising your other muscles.

Our eyes and our brain can be trained to get stronger performing eye exercises over a period of time.

Focusing exercise which will train our eyes focusing ability to help us focus more efficiently for longer periods of time while reading a book or working on the computer.

Equipments needed for the exercise:

1. Any of the three objects will work:

• Detailed sticker on a stick.
• Pencil with small writing on it.
• Reading material with small print.  

1. Eye patch.
2. Distance glasses (If glasses are normally worn).

Steps for Set Up:

1. Wear an eye patch over one eye or close one eye.
2. If you wear distance glasses, make sure you wear your distance glasses during the exercise.
3. Hold the target at an arm's length away from your eyes and at eye level.

Begin the exercise by holding the popsicle stick or the pencil an arm's length away from your eyes and at eye level.

You look at the small riding on the pencil or the sticker on the state.

You make sure all the details or all the letters look clear. 

While keeping your focus on it remove the slate up close as smoothly as possible until the detail is slightly blurred. 

You move the stick slightly further back until it's barely clears you. 

Try to keep the details as clear as possible by forcing your eyes to focus you hold it there for atleast five seconds. 

You force your eyes to keep the details clear at this point.

After performing one cycle you move your arm backwards so the details are comfortably cleared and then you bring the stick up close to the point in which the details start to slide.

Repeat the procedure for five minutes with each eye for a total of ten minutes a day and you perform this exercise in addition to other eyes sizes on time every day for atleast a couple of weeks.
