If you have to stare at the computer screen for hours daily at office, you must have realized how tiring it can be for your entire body, not just for the eyes.
BENEFITS
A lot of eye problems can be avoided by practicing these simple eye exercises. They tone the eye muscles, keep them elastic, improve the eyesight and reduce tension in the eye muscles.
The following exercises also help to strengthen eye muscles and counterbalance the effects of eyestrain. The focus and vision will get better and clearer as the ophthalmic or the eye nerves receive a richer supply of blood. They also soothe and lubricate tired eyes.
METHODS
While doing eye exercises, keep your eyes open and don't move your head. Relax and keep the mind free of tension. Sit with the spine erect. Hands on the knees. The whole body must be motionless; nothing must move except the eyes.
Exercise 1
Raise your eyes and find a small point that you can see clearly without straining, without frowning, without becoming tense and, of course, without moving your head. While doing this exercise look at this point each time you raise your eyes. Next, lower your eyes to find a small point on the floor, which you can see clearly while glancing down. Look at it each time you lower your eyes. Breathe normally.
Exercise 2
While doing the changing-vision exercise, you alternately shift your vision from close to distant points several times. Take a pencil, or use your finger, and hold it under the tip of your nose. Then start moving it away, without raising it, until you have fixed it at the closest possible distance where you can see it clearly without any blur. Then raise your eyes a little, look straight into the distance and there find a small point, which you can see very clearly. Now look at the closer point, the pencil or your fingertip then shift to the point at the distance. Repeat several times, blink, close your eyes and squeeze them tight.

I recently started doing eye exercises to try to improve my vision. I created a blog where I record my progress with the exercises.
My vision is 20/400, which is really poor.
