"Blinking
This one is a real help if you have dry eyes. Solution: produce more tears to moisten the eyes.
You can stimulate the tear ducts by squeezing your eyes shut really tightly. Then blink normally a few times, and squeeze again. Repeat a few times, and your eyes will feel more relaxed and comfortable."
There are many other eye exercises there as well. Here is a direct link to their eye exercising page:

In a previous post, I said I was too lazy to follow the link. This time I tried it and both of those web sites were gone.
I'm a little suspicious about these eye exercises anyway. If these eye exercises really worked to improve your vision, optometrists would be trained to teach people these exercises rather than how to fit people for corrective lenses, wouldn't they?
