The eyes have muscles and the visual performance of these muscles can be improved by practicing eye exercises. When you exercise these muscles regularly you can improve their focusing power to achieve better natural eyesight. These techniques are a viable alternative to glasses, contacts and laser surgery to improve your vision naturally. If you are interested in pursuing such a program, chances are you are probably wondering how often the eye exercises should be performed to achieve your vision improvement goals.
A weekly schedule for such a program is determined by several factors: giving your eyes adequate time to recover from each exercise session, finding flexibility in terms of time, in spite of a busy schedule, and finally, the consistency with which you perform these techniques.
1. Giving Your Eyes Recovery Time: Your eyes have muscles like other parts of the body that require exercise so that the visual system can be improved to achieve better natural eyesight. In terms of how many times per week the eye exercises should be performed, do not perform the eye exercises 7 days a week. This is because you need to give your eyes a period of recovery so that they are not overworked. A schedule involving doing the eye exercises 3 times a week can work effectively. That’s because this will allow you to skip a day in between to give your eyes enough rest so that they are fresh enough for the next eye exercise session. If time is scarce 2 times a week is better than no effort at all.
2. Finding Flexibility in Terms of Finding Time In a Busy Schedule: I understand your concerns about finding time for such a program when time is especially scarce in a busy schedule. For most people, a typical schedule probably includes juggling family responsibilities, work, and education altogether. Therefore, it may seem challenging to find the time that you need to do the eye exercises. However, I will share a quote with you from Dr. William H. Bates, the pioneer of this program on the importance of vision:
“Vision is the most vital of the five senses. The fullest enjoyment of life comes through the eyes–the color of a flower, the form of beauty, the smile of a friend. At work, at home, and play–most of the things we do lose much of their pleasure without normal vision. You can learn to have good vision throughout life when you learn to use your eyes properly under the conditions of of modern life imposes upon them.”
In other words, because your eyes are an integral part of every daily activity; it is too important not to make your vision health a vital priority in your life. If you are a working mom and are burdened with household duties and responsibilities, think about what you can do to delegate responsibilities to other family relatives so that time becomes freed up to do the vision training routine. If you are a college student try to rearrange your schedule to fit the eye exercises in at times that you are doing less important things such as social media networking, texting, and television viewing. By doing this you will be surprised at how much time becomes freed up. Also, remember in terms of convenience, that the program is not time-consuming at all and only takes about 15 minutes to perform.
3. Consistency at Which You Perform the Eye Exercises: This is extremely important because the regularity with which you perform the techniques will give you maximum results. For instance, if you have decided on a 3 times a week schedule, commit yourself diligently and consistently to this kind of protocol. In other words, do not skip weeks and start the techniques on an off and basis.
Eye exercises can improve your vision naturally by improving the performance of the eye muscles that control the focusing power of the eyes. Determining how often this routine should be done depends on the following factors: adequate rest periods in between the eye exercises to allow the eyes to recover, finding flexibility in your schedule to obtain time to work with the techniques even in a busy schedule, and finally, performing the eye exercises with consistency. Ultimately, by following these principles not only will you determine the right schedule that you can work with in terms of doing the eye exercises, but you will get the maximum benefits from this program that helps you improve your vision.
