Yes, it is possible to improve your eyesight by eye exercises (at any rate if your problem is short sight, myopia).

I did it myself for a while, when my eyes first started going and I didn't want to wear glasses. It definitely worked.

The trouble is that it is a total shag doing the exercises and unless your motivation is a lot higher than mine was, you get very very bored with it within a few months and give up and get glasses.

I Googled around to see if I could remember the programme I followed but I can't. Here's a foo links, with absolutely no recommendations from me, but just as an illustration of what's out there.

Could be snake oil, could not.

One thing I remember is a waredoo pair of glasses which had solid black plastic lenses with a pattern of dots cut in them, so you were looking through a screen of holes. Amazingly, this gave you significantly improved vision! And it seemed to strengthen the eyes. Downsides were a blinding headache after 20 minutes and being mistaken for a blind man!
