How to do vertical finger following

Set
Sit or stand tall. Hold one index finger in front of you at arm's length. Move it a small distance above and below eye level.
1
Lift the finger a little above eye level and follow it with your eyes.
2
Follow the finger back to eye level. Keep your chin still.
3
Lower the finger a little below eye level. Move only the eyes with it.
4
Follow the finger back to centre and blink naturally.

Take care. Keep the range small and blink naturally. Stop for eye pain, dizziness, blurred vision or double vision.
