Question: What are eye exercises 2, 3, 5, and 7 from this eye relief routine?

Answer:

From the image, those four are:

Essentially: vertical sweep → horizontal sweep → clockwise circle → counter-clockwise circle. Full range-of-motion workout for the extraocular muscles.

Why these four make sense to prioritize:

When you’re staring at a screen all day (especially in your GPU/LLM workflow), your eyes are locked in a fixed focal plane and barely move laterally. Exercises 2/3 break that fixation pattern. Exercises 5/7 work the oblique muscles which are almost never engaged during screen work.

Quick mental script to run it:

up-down × 10  →  left-right × 10  →  CW circles × 5  →  CCW circles × 5
~30 seconds total, every 45-60 min of deep focus

Pair it with the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 min, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds) and you’ve got a solid eye maintenance stack for long coding sessions.
