Excercises to Help Strengthen Your Eyes

You eyes are your most valuable asset. Everything in the world of sight comes to you through your eyes. Not only do you see with your eyes, you also take in a number of things that you don't relalize you do. If you look through a cameraq lens, or try to take a picture with a camera and do nothing to the camera before hand, you look at the picture and realize it just didn't capture what you were looking at. Try to take a picture of a sea, or a sunset, or any myriad of landscapes and the pictures are just very lack luster compared to the awe inspiring moment. This is because our eyes have the amazin ability to zoom in, caqpture waht we are looking at, while at the same time capture the entire scene as well.
