What's the best eye exercise routine for computer users?

A practical combination is a 20-second look-away every 20 minutes, plus a short routine like this once or twice a day. Blinking exercises have the strongest evidence for screen comfort.

How is the full eye reset different from eye yoga?

Eye yoga is all eye movements. The full reset mixes focus shifting, a few movements and a blink reset, so it covers focus, movement and blinking in one go.

Full eye reset routine

Focus, movement and blinking in one calm sequence: focus shifts, eye circles, figure eights and a closing blink reset. Two and a half minutes.

Follow the dot: focus near as it grows, far as it shrinks

How to do it

Focus shift, 40 seconds: near as the dot grows, far as it shrinks.
Eye circles, 40 seconds: clockwise, then anticlockwise.
Figure eight, 40 seconds: one way, then the other.
Blink reset, 30 seconds: slow, full blinks.
Look into the distance for a moment before you go back to work.

Why it helps, and what the evidence says

The full reset covers the three things screen work cuts down on: changing focus distance, moving your eyes, and blinking fully. Of the three, blinking exercises have the best evidence for screen comfort. Focus and movement exercises have only small studies behind them. It's a comfort routine, not a treatment, and it won't change your prescription.

Tips

Move only as far as feels easy, keep your head still, and stop if you feel dizzy, get a headache or see double.
Hold your thumb up for the focus shift part.
Great as the last break of the day.
