Fast Blinking
What It Is:
Look at a small detail on a blurred object while opening and shutting the eyes.
What It Does:
The blinking techniques reduce visual stress and stimulate the normal functioning of the eyelids. The eyelids clean and lubricate the surface of the eye and secrete nutrients that keep the cornea healthy.
How To Do It:
(not for epileptics)
- Look at a slightly blurred object. When nearsighted, look at a far object. If you are farsighted or presbyopic, look at a near object.
- Take a deep breath and focus on the smallest detail you can see on the blurred object.
- As you exhale, open and close your eyes as quickly as possible while you slowly blow out all the air from your lungs. This should be done with a broad focus.
- As you inhale, again look at the smallest detail you can see on the blurred object.
- Continue to fast blink in time to your breathing: exhale/fast blink…. inhale/detail….etc.
