To potentially improve your vision test results, focus on exercises and habits that reduce eye strain and improve focus. Note that these exercises are not a substitute for professional medical advice.
Here's a breakdown of strategies:
Eye Exercises and Techniques
-
Palming: This yogic eye exercise involves relaxing the muscles around your eyes, which can help reduce eye fatigue. Cover your eyes with your palms without applying pressure and focus on relaxing.
-
Blinking: Be conscious of your blinking rate, especially when using digital devices. Our blink rate tends to slow down, leading to dry eyes and eye strain.

Lifestyle Adjustments
- 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This helps prevent eye strain from prolonged screen use.
By incorporating these habits and exercises, you can potentially improve your eye health and performance on vision tests. However, it is important to consult an eye care professional for personalized advice and to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
