  • 7 Common Sense Tips to Tackle Eye Fatigue

    EYE FATIGUE: A Common Sense Approach for Easing Eye Tension

    By Jan Ashby 


    Do your eyes suffer from the stress and fatigue of using the computer all day?

    There are eye exercises you can do to relieve the constant strain. In order to alleviate tired eyes, it is necessary to set aside your keyboard (or smartphone/tablet) and do some soothing exercises.

    When your eyes have been tightly focused in on a screen, it helps to give them a break, yes – but aside from a standard ten-minute break built into your daily routine, you can also perform the following:

    1. Face straight ahead and look up as far as possible. Move your eyes in a circular motion, glancing as far to the RIGHT as possible, and then circle the eyes down and to the left. Close the eyes and relax them for a couple of seconds. Repeat the exercise in the opposition direction, looking up first – and then circling to the left. Repeat this exercise ten times.

    2. Shut your eyes. Now rub your palms together, in order to warm them up. You are going to cup your hands over your eyes, which will be shut for 30 – 90 seconds. This is essential – simply focus on your breath before gradually releasing your hands.

    3. Roll your eyes in complete circles, up, right, down and left. Now repeat this in the other direction. Keep going till your eyes feel slightly fatigued.

    4. For this exercise, close  your eyes and squeeze them together as tightly as possible; now open your eyes. Perform 10-15 repetitions.

    5. For this next exercise, you’ll want to cross your eyes & focus on the Tip of your Nose.  Hold the position as long as you are able (2 – 4 seconds) & now close and RELAX your eyes. Begin by doing two to three repetitions, & eventually work up to ten repetitions.

    6. Focus on something that is approximately 25 feet away; hold your focus for 5 seconds.  Now look at an object that is mid-range. Try to focus on it as “clearly” as you possibly can. Hold for 5 seconds.  Do the exercise 2 -4 times per day. This routine is especially helpful when performed outside – it is good for you to get up & move around, and re-focus your eyes on something at a distance.

    7. Imagine yourself looking at a square. Once you have the square pictured, look up to the Right corner of this imaginary square; now look down toward  the Left corner; then up to the Upper Left corner, & finally down to the Lower Right corner.  Repeat in the  opposite direction.  Do 10 – 15 repetitions

     

     

     

    Meditation Exercises:  Patchouli Oil Anyone?      Patchouli Oil

    You can also perform meditation exercises. Choose a quiet place to meditate – one where you are at ease & won’t be interrupted by children or LOUD noises. Preferably, you will do this in a comfortable chair; the idea is to relax your eyes and take a break – not fall asleep.

    Idea: You can choose to include aromatherapy with your meditation, or not. If you like to use essential oils, you might use a diffuser during your relaxation. Essential oils such as sandalwood, patchouli, & palo santo are very grounding – and will tend to have a “calming influence”.

    I generally like to use patchouli oil myself. You can find an essential oil that meets your expectations – but if I were you, I would stay away from lavender, clary sage, or oils that tend to help you relax – as you may fall asleep. Oils such as Frankincense and Helichrysum are touted to have the ability to enhance enlightenment; if you want more of an education on Essential oils, read this WIKI article.

  • Vision Health: So Many Choices, that It’s Confusing…

    Welcome to Info Just for U !

    I am a reporter in North Dakota. I love to create websites and bring you great information!

    jan ashby reporterI am especially interested in health. I have a website called HealthyKids – as you can see in the sidebar.

    Today I ‘d like to share an article on eye health:

    It pertains to my specific situation – all about my right eye- and what happened. My vision had been giving me problems for several years, and I thought Lasik was a good way to go.. Here’s my story:

    To do the surgery, I had to utilize a big chunk of my life savings. Having to part with some of my hard-earned cash would have been an acceptable trade-off had the treatments been successful.

    lasik surgery

    I was really surprised at the outcome. I didn’t realize things could go so wrong with lasik surgery. Well, it had been so praised in the news, and in the stories on television. Just goes to show you. Now, they have something better for us middle-aged folks – supposedly – that is, the doctors suggest you have just one eye operated on – and see how it goes.

    Or have Multifocal LASIK surgery – this creates more than one power on the front surface of the eye, allowing you to simultaneously see through different zones providing near, intermediate and distance vision. If I’d known about this at the time,I may have opted for it.

     

    More Detail on Multifocal Lasik Surgery

    You see, there is now sophisticated technology enabling multiple or “progressive” zones to be incorporated into artificial lenses; this basically enables sight at all distances. You see, typically, as we age we are only able to see well at one distance – we’re either nearsighted or ‘farsighted’.

    For presbyopic eyes, the only currently available FDA-approved LASIK procedure provides monovision. This means one eye is corrected for better distance vision, and the other eye is corrected to enhance near vision. Only trouble with this is, some people don’t adapt well after surgery – and this can ultimately cause a loss of depth perception.

    So be aware. And weigh all your options.

     

    Here’s the story of actress Kathy Griffin:

    So Was I Angry about My Investment?

    Just think about it, thousands of dollars just going down the drain, with no particular hope to get any money back. I had begun with costly eyeglasses, and had then moved on to contacts – something which cost me money every few months..

    In fact, I was alternating between my glasses and contacts, because neither was the perfect fit for my eyes. My glasses eyeglasses did not help me much – they did a poor job of improving my vision. Contact lenses were constantly irritating my cornea and even caused my eyes to get swollen because dirt trapped under my contacts caused an infection!

    I looked absolutely ridiculous going into office with my swollen eyes. And I was afraid to glance in the mirror .. because my eyes were very red! It was at this point that I determined to “go for it”, with respect to the eye surgery..

    Because of what I’d heard from friends, I thought this would be a good choice and would restore my vision.. But I was in for a big surprise! After the surgery, I walked out of the hospital feeling like a brand NEW person..

    Little did I know that the vision in my right eye would start to deteriorate by the week’s end. I suffered from dizzy spells and migraine headaches on a regular basis. Well, during my next check-up, I found out that my cornea had gotten severely damaged.

     

     

     

    I was dumbfounded; I couldn’t believe this had happened, so I decided I would get a 2nd opinion.. Guess what? The other optometrists told me the same thing!

    I was really worried, because I simply could not afford to spend more money as I had so many loans outstanding already. I was at a low point of my life.

    Want to know WHAT hit next? I will tell you – I uncovered an intriguing info product by Kevin Richardson.
    Wasn’t I Suspicious Though?

    Now I was of course skeptical – I wasn’t born yesterday, after all. Once I was shown the product by a friend who detailed things – that is, how all his vision related issues (such as near-sightedness and lazy eye) got cleared up, I was intrigued to know more.

    Still, I couldn’t bring myself to automatically trust blindly. I was concerned, and thought maybe the product was “fly by night”. Did it have any sort of guarantee? It sounded interesting enough- and if these eye exercises and advice could improve my eye problem, shouldn’t I try it out?

    So here’s what happened – I went “back and forth” with myself – weighing the pros and cons, arguing with myself.. I actually put it on the back burner for several days, and read some more stuff about it on the Net. Well, time heals all things I guess – for I found some more positive feedback on the Natural Clear Vision product, and the rest is history.

    The exercises have helped me a lot. Now I am happier, and more productive. And Natural Clear Vision has that 60 Day money back guarantee! I told myself, “It’s less costly than surgery, so how could I lose?”

    It turned out just fine! I have transitioned to a healthier, happier person.

    And the nice thing is, once you get used to DOING the eye exercises they’ll become second nature !
