How can I stop my eye mannerisms?

Question

I have this mannerism of looking up not because I'm thinking of something. I can't control it and it has become embarrassing because other people are noticing it. I'm nearsighted and have had this problem since elementary. I noticed that I also can't help to look at bright lights. Since fluorescent lights and the sun are above, I guess this may be a factor to my mannerism.

This is a really interesting problem. Looking at lights and especially the sun is really really bad for eyes.

I sometimes have a problem with looking near or at the sun or looking at lights and whenever I catch myself doing it, I look away and look in another direction from the sun or lights.

So whenever you catch yourself looking up or looking at lights or wanting to look up, do something else or think about something else, also through out the day try and focus on not looking up so that if you do it out of habit and not consciously know that your doing it you'll at least be able to recognize when your doing it because you've been trying to keep yourself from not doing it.

I don't think this habit is bad at all, except for looking at light and the sun.

Some people have even worse and more noticeable habits.

I hope this helps you!!

Very best wishes!!
