Most of the benefit of eye exercise for myopia occurs in the first few weeks. It is also true that everyone responds differently to the techniques. Some patients that have pseudo-myopia to begin with can be cured with these methods. These are cases that myopia is due to muscle spasm inside the eye. Often it is induced by excess studies and reading, like getting ready for Final Exams. In most cases just rest and not wearing myopic glasses to read will have similar effects.

Vision Therapy can teach your eyes to function better with less eyestrain and many people feel this is worth the effort alone. Be sure to find a professional to assist you and if needed get an eye exam before you start.

Also avoid the programs sold on the Internet or that just use home therapy with Pin Hole glasses, these have never been proven to work in clinical studies. Many are a waste of money.
There is also computer-only glasses – Eye physicians don’t agree that glasses exclusively for computer use are necessary.

Working all day staring at a screen can wear you out and strain your vision

How to avoid eye strain when using your computer?

There are several things that you can do in order to prevent computer-related eye strain from keeping you from your work.

1. Position you monitor at a 90-degree angle from windows or other sources of light. Glare on the monitor plays a big part in eye strain.
2. Adjust the height of your monitor so that the top of the screen (not necessarily the monitor itself) is slightly below eye level. This will also help reduce neck-strain.
3. Your monitor should also be positioned so that it’s about an arm’s length away. Also, your monitor should be directly in front of you and the keyboard. This will also reduce neck and eye strain.
4. If you work with paper documents, purchase a copy stand that attaches to you monitor. This will put the paper at the correct height for comfortable typing, keeping your eyes from moving up and down.
5. KEEP YOUR MONITOR CLEAN
6. Remember to blink.
7. Focus on distant objects every 15 minutes. This relaxes your eye muscles.
8. Neck and shoulder tension can contribute to headaches and eyestrain. Every hour, roll your shoulders in circles from front to back and then from back to front. Gently tilt your head to one side and then the other to loosen the muscles there. Touch your chin to your chest. Hold each motion for a few seconds.
9. Take a walk. A short stroll loosens tense muscles and provides new things for your eyes to focus on to give them a break from the computer screen. Try to get up from your chair once an hour or so — or at the very least, 15 minutes every two hours.
10. Consider an anti-reflective screen or filter for your screen to cut glare
11. If possible, dim overhead lights and keep desk lamps low.
12. There’s no clear consensus on the ideal color for the screen and type. Most experts recommend a gray background and black letters, because this combination provides good contrast. Avoid white letters on a dark background.
