what are good eye exercises?

There are none.: With few exceptions, eye exercises have not been found useful in medical studies. You don't really need to exercise your eyes anyway; they are used all day, every day, and if anything, they need a rest.

Part of the system: The anterior chamber separates the cornea from the lens, both of which work together to focus light onto the retina. The anterior chamber is full of clear fluid called aqueous humor, which is important for the health of the cornea.

Is being blind in one eye considered being legally blind?

Dr. Mitchell Vogel answered
Ophthalmology 30 years experience
No: Most states require a level of vision and a certain level of visual field loss in order to be considered legally blind in both eyes. Ask an eye doctor in your state what your definitions are. There are many different definitions; check them out online and have a great day.
