Simple Ways To Improve Your Eyesight

We use our eyes constantly and yet, unless we develop an eye problem, infection or disease, we rarely consciously take care of them or exercise them as we do other parts of the body. More and more people are either wearing glasses or taking to contact lenses to rectify their eye problems. The eyes are like any other muscle in the human body or rather, the lens of the eye is a muscle which needs to be exercised and kept flexible in order to perform its function properly throughout the duration of your life. Here are a couple of exercises to keep the eyes as fit as the rest of you.
