What it gives

Steps

  1. Blinking30 s

    Blink often and lightly, without squeezing. At a screen we blink less than usual, and the eyes dry out.

  2. Up and down40 s

    Keep your head still. Slowly move your gaze up and down — as far as is comfortable, without strain.

  3. Left and right40 s

    The same — left and right. Even breathing, shoulders down.

  4. Circles40 s

    Smooth circles with your gaze: a few clockwise, then counterclockwise.

  5. Near and far50 s

    Look at your fingertip 30 cm from your face, then into the distance — out of the window or across the room. 5 seconds each, unhurried.

  6. Warm palms40 s

    Rub your palms until warm and cover your closed eyes without pressing. Darkness and warmth.

Caution

Eases the feeling of tiredness but does not correct vision. Eye pain, double vision, flashes or a “curtain” over the eye — see an ophthalmologist right away.
