You’re not alone! Here are some simple and effective tips to help improve your eyesight over time. With a little effort, you can see noticeable differences and give your eyes the care they deserve. One of the main culprits behind poor vision is overstrained eyes. Instead of tightening the eye muscles, we want to encourage relaxation. This not only helps alleviate strain but also promotes better vision. Let’s explore some techniques to achieve that relaxation.   #### At-Home Test for Eye Dominance  To better understand your eyesight, try this simple at-home test using a cord or wire. Here’s how: Hold the cord at your nose and extend it out to arm’s length in front of you. Focus on the end of the cord and look down toward your hand. You should see the cord crossing and forming an “X.” If one side appears blurry, it may indicate that one eye is more dominant. This awareness can help you focus on relaxing the eye that needs it most. #### The Bates Method Now, let’s dive into the Bates Method, a natural approach to relaxing your eyes. This technique not only relaxes the eye muscles but also calms the brain, promoting better eyesight over time. Here’s how to practice it: Rub your hands together to generate warmth. Gently cup your hands over your closed eyes. Aim to visualize pure blackness, blocking out all distractions. Try to hold this position for about two minutes, especially if you’ve been staring at screens. When you open your eyes again, you’ll likely notice a clearer vision right away. Incorporating these techniques into your daily routine can significantly benefit your eyesight.

Let’s prioritize our eye health together! ### Connect with Dr Janine Bowring N.D     - [Share](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.drjaninebowring.com/en/blog/v24/tips-for-better-eyesight) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=I+found+this+interesting+blog+post&url=https://www.drjaninebowring.com/en/blog/v24/tips-for-better-eyesight) - [Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.drjaninebowring.com/en/blog/v24/tips-for-better-eyesight) - [Eyes](https://www.drjaninebowring.com/en/blog/tag/eyes) ![Dr Janine Bowring ND](https://www.drjaninebowring.com/hubfs/facebook%20profile%20JB%202020.jpg) [Dr Janine Bowring ND](https://www.drjaninebowring.com/en/blog/author/dr-janine-bowring-nd) Dr Janine Bowring is a doctor, researcher, author formulator, television personality, mother & speaker on all things natural. - - ### What Is Your Poo Saying About You?
