    Archery can improve your eye health. Here's how

    What's the story

    Archery is more than a sport of precision and focus; it's an unlikely workout for your eyes!

    Hitting the bullseye in archery practice is not just satisfying but also beneficial for your eyes.

    This ancient sport requires sharp vision and concentration, and it turns out, it's a pretty good eye exercise.

    Discover five unexpected ways archery improves your eye health.

    Focus

    Improves focus and concentration

    Archery demands extreme concentration, as archers must keep their gaze locked on their target for long stretches.

    This intense focus can act like a "workout" for the eye muscles responsible for focusing, just as physical exercise strengthens muscles in the rest of the body.

    With time, seasoned archers may notice improved focus in other areas of life too, all thanks to their regular "eye workout" in archery.

    Coordination

    Enhances hand-eye coordination

    The key to striking a target is the harmonious synchronization of what one sees and how one moves their hands.

    Archery strengthens this connection by forcing the archer to repeatedly match their vision with accurate hand motions.

    This enhances hand-eye coordination and trains the eyes to follow moving objects more effectively, which can be advantageous in day-to-day activities.

    Attention

    Increases attention span

    In a world of constant digital distractions, where our ability to focus is being eroded, archery stands as a powerful antidote.

    The discipline required to maintain your gaze on the target, waiting for the perfect moment to release, is a fundamental aspect of archery.

    With time, you may find that your improved attention span begins to positively impact other areas of your life.

    Relief

    Reduces eye strain from screen time

    For those experiencing digital eye strain from prolonged screen time, engaging in outdoor activities such as archery can offer a refreshing break for fatigued eyes.

    Shifting focus from near objects (screens) to far distances (targets) can help mitigate eye strain symptoms by promoting changes in focal length and minimizing exposure to blue light emitted by digital devices.

    Vitamin D

    Promotes outdoor activity for vitamin D exposure

    Spending time outdoors for archery allows individuals to benefit from natural sunlight, which is essential for the production of vitamin D.

    Sufficient levels of vitamin D are important for general health, and specifically, eye health.

    It boosts immune function and minimizes inflammation, indirectly contributing to eye health by preventing diseases linked to inflammation or immune dysfunction.
