I heard of this tip and have tried it with success -
Before going to the eyepiece, take several deep breaths, which pushes extra O2 to the brain, which enhances vision.
On the same account, try not to stop breathing when straining to see a detail or faint fuzzy. Breath but exhale slowly while trying for the object.
Should go without saying - no smoking or alcohol consuption for several hours before observing.
Be careful not to hyperventilate while using the above tip otherwise dizziness or possible fainting can occur. The o2 saturation point is easily reached and any further deep breathing would be counter-productive.
