it's as easy as it sounds but has a big benefit for your eyes. Blink 10-15 times very quickly. Close your eyes and relax for 20 seconds. Repeat this 4-5 times.
3. Figure 8
Another really easy eye exercise is the figure 8. Sit comfortably in a chair and stare at the ground, imagine a figure 8 on the floor and trace it with your eyes, go one direction and then repeat the other direction.
