Title: eyes
Post by: ukmicky on 21/11/2005 02:00:51

Why is it when you strain a muscle in your body it builds it up and improves it making it stronger?
However if you strain your eye muscles it can harm your eyes and give you bad eyesight.
Why don’t they get stronger like your biceps?

There are exercises that do improve or maintain eyesight.  I think the keyword here is strain.
