Clock rotations eye exercise

How to do it

Move your gaze through all twelve clock positions in a slow, controlled way.

1. Hold an object (finger or pen) at arm's length — imagine it is in the center of a clock face.
2. Keeping shoulders and neck still, extend your arm to 12 o'clock.
3. Hold for 2–3 seconds, return to center, repeat 5 times.
4. Move to 1 o'clock, hold 2–3 sec, repeat 5 times. Continue clockwise through each hour.
5. Complete all 12 positions around the clock.

Tip: Move only as far as is comfortable at each position. If you see flashes of light, stop and rest — and mention it to an eye-care professional.
