Poor distance vision is rarely caused by genetics, says Anne Barber, O.D., an optometrist in Tacoma, Washington. "It's usually caused by near-point stress." In other words, staring at your computer screen for too long. So flex your way to 20/20 vision. Every few hours during the day, close your eyes, tense your body, take a deep breath, and, after a few seconds, release your breath and muscles at the same time. Tightening and releasing muscles such as the biceps and glutes can trick involuntary muscles -- like the eyes -- into relaxing as well.

The word of a single optometrist carries about as much weight as the diet information published in this mag (MensHealth) - something that mainly seems to sell to women in AU. Gah.
You know... I'm short sighted. I spent my first three years of uni doing almost no study. Zip. ...and a couple of hours of exercise a day. Weights, swimming and a couple of martial arts.
My eyesight deteriorated.
Flexing the biceps and but does absolutely nothing to fix eyesight.
