I've been getting farsighted for over a decade now. When I first recognized that I needed reading glasses I really resisted using them. Bought some and only used them on days when I had to. On those days I was much more comfortable, relaxed, and not tired at the end of the day. Even know that I still avoided them for reasons not clear to me, whether I thought it might worsen my eyesight, but I suspect moreso that I didn't want to accept that I needed them.
I have a variety of strengths of reading glasses around and do use them when working, but not for casual/entertainment uses. I have gotten pretty good at reading blurry text, sort-of like how you get used to reading upside-down or mirror writing. I find that this lets my eyes be more relaxed and I don't get as tired as I used to. Even when wearing the weakest readers I always try to look up over the lens when looking far away or take them off frequently. Leaving extras around the house also means I don't feel compelled to keep them on my face in case I'll want them. My visual acuity has on occasion also varied noticeably with my blood-sugar (or other levels) and many days I'm surprised by how clearly I'm able to see, so there isn't a clear downward grade.
I have no idea if exercises actually help and other than trying to keep my eyes relaxed or screens not to bright don't do anything in particular.
