d73: okay, so I have to tell you, I do believe someone can make their eyes stronger through eye exercises, but I do not believe a person can ever fully wean themselves off of contacts and glasses unless they are very young, like 3 years old and are able to reverse the vision patterns early on.
Troy: Your right that vision is very complicated. Humans have the best eyesight on the planet. Because we are very aware and self determining there is room for us to interfere with our eyesight. The eyes of people with perfect vision shift and scan from point to point up to a thousand times a minute. That is a very complex behavior. When we learn incorrect vision habits and add artificial corrections on top of that we reduce our eye movements down to about 200 to 500 times a minute and even less. The correct vision principles of our visual system are very simple and powerful. Most people who don't have serious health problems or mental imbalances are able to correct their vision within 6 months to 2 years just by playing with the correct vision behaviors in their "thumb twidling"(spare) time.
d73: I saw my optometrist and he told me he tried for a long time to correct his vision "naturally" through eye exercises; he told me that the only thing that can improve from doing this is a persons ability to focus, and even that would only change about 5%. I felt like he was being genuinely honest with me.
Troy: Yes what your optomotrist says is true, eye exercises or eye pushups do not work. They are like trying trying to get better at basketball by working out at the gym alone. In order to get better at basketball you have to practice the principles of basketball. It's a shame how many people have wasted so much time on eye exercises and have had to write off natural perfect eyesight because the exercises don't work. The eyes are actually much stronger than they need to be. When we have blurry vision we stress and strain and waste a lot of energy. That's why many headaches are associated with blurr and eyestrain. Perfect eyesight is effortless and amazing. I help people relearn the correct vision behaviors and unlearn the incorrect vision habits.
d73: so what ways other than eye exercieses correct vision?
Troy: Eye exercises don't help vision. When we get blurry vision we diffuse, stare, squint, and strain. For perfect vision we need to relax, centralize, move our interest from point to point. If you would like to learn more I recommend attending one of my Free Introductory Classes.
d73: I would totally attend one of your classes, but I don't live in Utah! I think I am just going to practice relaxing my eyes and moving them slower like you mentioned..
Troy: Thinking about moving your eyes slower would be contrary to free, easy, eyesight. There is a great book available: Relearning to See. Also there may be a teacher near you: Natural Eyesight Improvement Teachers.
You want to think about vision being free and easy. It's free and easy to explore details. With blurry vision we try to pull our ision back and stare at too much. We want our eyes and our interest to explore as if they were a dog on a long retractible leash. The more we try to hold our vision still and stare at as much as possible the more we harm our vision. Holding our eyes still and looking at the whole computer screen all at the same time is bad. We want to let our eyes rest on small details.
d73: yikes!..I go to school online FT and stare at a computer screen most of the day! Thank you for those links; I will def. look in2 them. :)
