Sick and tired of wearing glasses or having to deal with contacts? I know I was! Here are some great exercises that you can use to improve your vision. No expensive eye surgery needed.

Use it, or lose it! This is a motto we're all too familiar with. In dealing with the human body, this can be especially true. It's said that adults who do not perform regular strength exercise lose about one-half pound of muscle each year after they reach maturity. We know that if you aren't exercising, you're going to lose precious muscle mass.

Now just as with any other muscle of the human body, the same can be said about your eyes. Yes, you read that correctly. Your eyes have muscles that must be exercised too! Although it may seem that you use your eyes all the time whether you're; driving, working on a report, or surfing the net as you are doing right now, the truth is that you're not actually working the full range of muscles in your eyes.

Here are some exercise tips that will get you started on improving your eyesight. For these exercises you want to be sitting up straight in your chair with your feet planted firmly on the ground.

Eyesight Exercise #1
A nice and easy eyesight exercise to start off with is rolling your eyes clockwise, then counter-clockwise. You want to repeat this 4 to 5 times.

Eyesight Exercise #2
Close your eyes tightly for about 5 seconds, and then open them for 5 seconds. Do this 6 to 8 times.

Eyesight Exercise #3
This one requires a little imagination. Look across at the wall on the other end of your room. Imagine that you are writing with your eyes for a moment and go through the entire alphabet, A to Z. Keep your head completely still while doing this and use only your eyes for each letter. The bigger the letters, the more difficult it can become, so start with small letters and work your way up to bigger ones.

Eyesight Exercise #4
This next one requires a pencil or pen. Hold the pencil/pen out in front of you at arm's length. Now slowly pull the pencil/pen towards your nose and follow it with your eyes until you can't keep it in focus. Repeat this one 10 times.

Eyesight Exercise #5
For this last one, imagine that you are standing in front of a giant dart board. Now start with looking at the middle or target of the dart board. Now without moving your head, focus your eyes on the outer right edge of the giant dart board. Now look back at the middle. Now focus on the bottom of the dart board, and then back to the center. Repeat this again, this time going to the left side of the dart board, then back to the center. Do this at least 10 times.

These are just five of the many exercises that you can do daily to dramatically improve your eyesight and give you back your freedom.
