Thirdly, use your thumb to draw a circle in the air about arms length far away in front of you, and then get your eyes to follow the tip of the thumb timely without moving your head to re-activate the eye muscles. At last, transfer your eye vision from far to near, and near to far objects for several jumps until you can shift quickly and focus clearly on the far and near objects.
