Zooming

This is another one of my favourites as it is very easy and quick to do.

Instructions for zooming:

1. Sit in a comfortable position
2. Stretch out your arm with your thumb in the hitchhike position
3. Focus on your thumb as your arm is outstretched.
4. Now bring your thumb closer to you, focussing all the time, until your thumb is about 3 inches in front of your face.
5. Now move your thumb away again until your arm is fully outstretched.
6. Do this for a few minutes at a time throughout the day.

This exercise will strengthen your focusing skills and your eye muscles in general.
