Everyone knows that their body can adapt to demand and challenges. If you carry a lot of weight, your body will grow muscles to overcome the challenges. If you run long distances, your body grow stronger heart so as to sustain prolonged period of energy release.

But did you know that it’s not just your body that can adapt? That’s right. Your eyes also can adapt to different needs. If you constantly look at close range objects, like reading, watching tv and doing the dishes, your eyes adapts and pretty soon you’ll soon find yourself excelling in looking near distance objets… but at the expense of long distance sight… thus the myopia.

So do we counter this? Easy enough. Adopt a simple habit.

For every 60 minutes of looking at close distance objects, look away at something at least 10 metres away for about 10 minutes. I do this by looking out my window into a field. It relaxes me, which of course, is also beneficial to my eyes.
