Pencil Push-Ups
Tracking a pencil as it moves toward your nose
How to
Hold a pencil at arm's length, focused clearly on its tip. Slowly bring it toward the bridge of your nose, keeping it in single, clear focus for as long as possible. If it doubles, pause or back it up slightly until it's a single image again, then continue.

- A classic convergence exercise used in vision therapy
- Builds the eyes' ability to work together at close range
