Day 10

* Yoga Week 1.
* Fine print reading.

Had fish last night. Eyes are feeling much better this morning. Fish definitely is good for eyes.

I have also noticed something strange - after a lot of computer work, my right eye lid seems swollen - could it be that the right eye pressure is increasing and it is causing the eye to jutt forward? I should mention this to my doctor when I see him next.

Right now both eyes are looking normal. I know it the the freaking COMPUTER that is damaging my eyes - wish I can give it up forever...

I also got my order of goji berries from http://dragonherbs.com/prodinfo.asp?number=699

Can this be a reason my eyes feel better today? Only time will tell...

Day 8 - Tuesday

* Did swinging by window for around 10 minutes.
* Started with Yoga - Week 1 From BKS Iyengar's book.

Eyes felt jammed the whole day - I am sure my eye pressure was up (even though I cannot measure it).

* Did a 45 minutes walk in the evening. This gradually got rid of my eyes feeling jammed and I could actually make out the difference. My eyes felt so much better... I was able to work/read well in the night. This morning too they feel good. I hope this continues...

So walking is definitely good for health - and especially for people who have glaucoma/ocular hypertension.

Day 7 - Monday

Did my usual dose of swinging by the window and fine print reading. Was a good day - eyes felt better the whole day.

Day 4, 5 and 6

Didn't do much.. Walked a lot in NYC on Sunday so that we inturn good for the eyes.
