I'm excited to share this video with you because as much as half of you have Digital Eye Strain. Also called, Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), this problem of modern society is caused by too much time in front of screens from the computer to the phone to the iPad to even being at a restaurant and staring at the tv too long. This can lead to discomfort, fatigue, headaches and even blurry vision. and fatigue, dry eye, blurry vision, headaches dry eyes. You could call this video a form of vision therapy or visual training.
We will hope to affect your ciliary muscle which is an intrinsic muscle of your eye that helps your lens accommodation to view near and far distances. We will be massaging and exercising your extraocular muscles which are responsible for eyeball rotation. These include your superior and inferior oblique muscles as well as your lateral, medial, superior and inferior rectus muscles.
When you keep our eyes focused on an object like a digital screen at only one distance, your eye musculature can spasm, weaken and fall into patterns that decrease your eye's ability to do into the ranges of motion that are not frequently being used. I hope to challenge your eyes with this video. So, you may feel them working and getting temporarily sore. If this lasts more than an hour after doing the video, go easier or slower and gradually increase in intensity.
