I was wondering if there is a way to increase the strength and clearity of my vision by doing eye exercises. If so, please describe how or where to find out how.

YES! When you were kid did you get in trouble for crossing your eyes? Did some some one tell you they would get stuck if you do that? You shouldn't have listened. Those eye exercises can improve your eyesight. I took a Yoga class, where at the end of each class we would do Yoga for eyes. My instructor told us that some of us would be able to throw away our reading glasses after a few weeks of her class. She was right. The progress varies between individuals. You can purchase expensive tapes to show you how. But the free secret is do it slow, very very slow.
Hold your eyes in one position for 30 seconds at a time. Move up to the right corner, hold 30 seconds, then slowly slowly up to the left corner, hold 30 seconds. Then side to side slowly, slowly, each position hold 30 seconds then move slowly to the next position. Then down left, down right. Then move your eyes around very slowly, clockwise, and counter clockwise, slowly slowly.
Listen to relaxing music while you do it. Burn candles for the atmosphere. It only takes about 15 minutes a day. You will start noticing improvement in just days.
It hurts, especially when you first start. That is normal.

There are eye exercises to correct specific disorders such as slow focusing, poor eye co ordination and lazy eye. Your eye doctor will instruct you on how to do these if you need them. Doing the exercises if you don't have a problem will make no difference to your eyes.
There are not exercises that will eliminate the need for glasses or make your vision better without glasses. Although a number of companies sell programs and books that claim to do so, there is no evidence that they work. At least one such company had so many consumer complaints launched against it for failing to refund money when the exercises didn't work that they were forced out of business.

You can use exercises for your eyes, but that will not change your vision strength and clarity, especially once you hit adulthood.
Orthoptic exercises are used primarily in young children in addition to patching for esotropia or exotropia, the two most common forms of eye misalignment. These exercises have not been proven to help improve ocular deviation in people over the age of 10-12.
In fact, towards the end of 2006, the Iowa Attorney General filed a suit against a company that stated their "eye exercises improved vision", which was in fact a fraudulent statement. This lawsuit is most likely the beginning. Just read the article. There really is no scientifically proven way to improve refractive errors, nearsightedness or farsightedness, other than glasses, contacts, or refractive surgery.
Eye exercises are great for eye strain, just like a good workout is good for the muscles, heart and lungs.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but from my research, there is no legitimate way to improve nearsightedness or farsightedness or astigmatism without glasses, contacts, or refractive surgery.

Most people believe that once they are diagnosed with some vision problem and start wearing eye glasses or contact lenses to correct them, they will have to do so for life in order to see better. Those who want a permanent solution to improve eyesight typically resort to Lasik or other corrective eye surgeries. But you you can also improve your vision without surgery and can see perfectly well without using eyeglasses or contact lenses. You can check here to know how https://tr.im/d5f13

well there are some exercises for ur eyes.they make u relax but there is nothing like the clarity of vision...the exercises are:
1- move ur eye balls in the up and down direction and do it immediately...
2-move them from right to left or left to right..
3-move ur eye balls in a clockwise direction .
they help in making u relax after u have finished working with ur computer..

Yes! Sit still and straight.Without using your head look to the right, count to five, look down counting to five,look to the left counting to five and look up,counting to five .Repeat the exercise starting to the left. Do it three times in both directions.Then SLOWLY roll your eyes,right down left and up.three times to the right,three times to the left.It will feel weird for the first few days,that's why you sit down for these exercises. Good luck!
