EXERCISE YOUR EYES

Eye Writing Look at a wall and pretend that you’re writing on it with your eyes. Don’t move your head—only move your eyes. Start by writing your name, then try composing poetry or writing out the lyrics to your favorite song. The bigger the letters, the more you strengthen and stretch the muscle around the eye.

‘Round the Clock Imagine that you’re standing (or sitting) in front of a really big clock. Look at the middle of the clock. Then, without moving your head, look at any hour mark. Look back at the center. Then look at another hour mark, and come back to the center. Repeat for every “hour.” You can also do this exercise with your eyes closed. Either way will give the muscles around your eye a workout and help prevent eyestrain.

SEEING STUFF

Of all the messages your brain receives from your fivesenses, about 80 percent come from your eyes. That’s alot of information from two ping-pong-ball-sized orbs

mostly hidden from view!Because we have two eyes, both facing forward, we can

judge the distance between ourselves and whateverwe’re looking at. Specialized cells called rods and conesgive us the ability to perceive color in bright light, and

see shapes, shadows, and motion in dim light.The information and activities in this section give you achance to explore how your vision works. You’ll discover

how to see in the dark, when you can (and can’t) seecolor, what happens when your visual system gets tired

or doesn’t get the information it needs, and how youcan tell a real smile from a fake one.
