Key#3 Increase Body Relaxation and Good Posture
It's very difficult, if not impossible, to relax your eyes and mind and maintain clear vision if your body is overly tense. Postural imbalances and physical tension have long been associated with vision problems. It's important for you to find ways to release tension and develop relaxation in your body. In addition, people with vision problems shouldn't read or watch TV while lying down. Instead, they should sit in a relaxed, comfortable position. This makes it easier for
blood and oxygen to circulate to head and eyes.
Key# 4 Breathe Deeply and Regularly
Approximately 30% of oxygen you inhale goes to nourish muscles, nerves and brain cells of your visual system. Watch what happens to your breathing next time you are engrossed in an activity or are tense. Most likely, it will become shallow and irregular. You might even find that you are holding your breath unconsciously for periods of time. Breathing deeply and rhythmically helps vision. And it will keep your body more relaxed, help you concentrate easier for longer periods of time and eliminate eyestrain and fatigue.
Key #5 Look Openly and Honestly
Past and present emotional stress can affect vision, so it is important to develop inner willingness to see. Emotionally, there may be a part of us that believes that if we don't see something it might disappear. Though this response might feel more safe, nothing disappears when we don't see it. Instead, problem or feeling haunts us until we look at it and deal with it openly and directly. Develop an inner willingness to look directly at challenging and difficult situations and do whatever you can to release emotional stress that affects vision
