Do This Daily To Keep Glasses Away Forever
"In fact, it is harder for the brain to do an eye muscle workout than it is to do a heavy leg workout. It is more strain, more effort for the brain."
The presenter claims that performing eye movement exercises demands greater metabolic effort from the brain than performing heavy resistance training with the legs, based on the disproportionate cortical representation of eye muscles. This counterintuitive assertion is used to warn viewers against overtraining with vision exercises and to explain why eye fatigue may not be felt until neurological damage occurs.
