(Health-NewsWire.Net, October 15, 2015 ) Castle Rock, CO -- The human eye is a muscle and like any muscle it can be over-worked which causes discomfort and exhaustion. The effects of the eye shifting from the use of cellular phone to a computer screen and then back to the phone and then refocusing out in the distance is one example. While this may not seem like a strenuous aerobic activity it is a repetitive pattern that the eye is constantly tracking. It is rare that much thought is given to amount of constant activity of the eye as it is such a natural daily movement.
Like any muscle that is maintaining one position for any length of time, it contracts and then has a hard time relaxing. The same goes for the eye muscles. When looking at close objects the muscle contracts and when the eye looks back up the muscle has cramped up and cannot easily relax. Add the constant repetitive movement from a full day of activity and the eye experiences exhaustion. Any muscle in the body that is worked hard and frequently, needs support and time for the muscle tissue to repair. A very simple supportive remedy for the eye is wear reading glasses to help reduce the eye strain. This support could be compared to wearing a lifting brace or a leg compression tight when lifting weights or working out. Supports keep the muscle from overstress and overcompensation.
When the eye muscle is over-worked on the computer and cell phone all day it can cause fatigue throughout the entire body, not just the eyes. it is easy to discount this as a cause for bodily exhaustion because it is a natural repetitive movement that takes place all day. The difference is noticed when the eyes are closed. When the eyes are closed and in a resting state there is nothing for them to focus on. Closing the eye allows the entire body and mind to release tension.
That three o"clock ten minute recharge to get through the day might not be so difficult to achieve. This time-out will produce a noticeable difference in performance of the rest of the day. EyeHarmony states that their reading glassesgreatly reduce the affects of eye strain and exhaustion.
