Our vision is our primary means of relationship to the world
around us. Of the five physical senses, vision is the most dominant
and useful sense.
Yet, over half the people in this country (U.S.A) wear glasses
or contacts. Needing corrective-lenses to see clearly is now considered
normal, though there are ways to have better vision naturally without
the use of any artificial means and complicated procedures like
surgery. In this , I will disclose 5 keys to naturally better vision
that has been tried and tested by thousands of individuals over
years.
Key#1 Blink
Regularly
Blinking is a natural preserver of your better vision. Blinking
cleanses and lubricates the eyes. When there is no tension, your
eyes blink 10-12 times every minute, or about once every 5 seconds.
But people who do not see clearly tend to stare and unconsciously
hold their eyes open, which causes strain as well as the feeling
of dry and tired eyes. Consciously remind yourself to blink every
3-5 seconds. The more you blink the better it is for your eyes.
Your eyelid is controlled by only one muscle. By having proper relaxation
in that muscle, it can promote relaxation throughout the entire
body. Flutter Blinking: To practice Flutter Blinking, blink your
eyes lightly and rapidly 10 to 20 times. Do not strain or squeeze
your eyes shut and relax your face as you blink. Then close your
eyes and relax. Repeat this 2 or 3 times. Flutter Blinking will
help to keep your eyes moist, relaxed and free of strain.
Key # 2
Use your Peripheral Vision
Your eyes may be offering you more than you realize. At the same
time that you are focusing on one object, images are also coming
into your eyes from your peripheral awareness – from the left and
the right, and from the front of and behind what you are directly
looking at. But unfortunately, people with poor vision have trained
their minds to so intently focus on just one thing that they block
out their peripheral awareness. This “putting on of blinders†breeds
mental fatigue and a tense style of concentration. Whatever you
are looking at, always remind yourself to be aware of your peripheral
vision. Consciously remember to be aware of everything at the same
time that you are looking at one point.
Key# 3 Keep
your Eyes Moving and Change your Focus
Staring is the most commonly practiced bad habit in regards to
poor vision. Keeping your eyes moving and changing your focus is
the most direct and powerful way to break the staring habit. Normally,
the eye moves slightly 50-60 times every single second, constantly
changing what it is looking at. This subtle movement is essential
for clear vision; you can unlock tension in your visual system by
remembering to change your focus frequently. This encourages your
eyes to become more relaxed. Whatever you may be doing with your
eyes, you should always remember to shift your focus and keep your
eyes moving.
Key#4 Avoid
Daydreaming
The word daydreaming is used to mean any mental activity – whether
or not it involves images, that captures a person’s focus while
their eyes are open. There isn’t anything wrong with the creative
use of the imagination, but when daydreaming becomes a habit it
can have a negative effect on your vision. Here’s why: If you close
your eyes and imagine looking at a distant scene, your eyes respond
to that, and change their focus, as they would if they were actually
looking at that distant scene. So, if you’re driving down the road
and you’re thinking about something else, your eyes are caught in
a dilemma – what should they be seeing? On the one hand, they are
trying to bring the road into focus and on the other hand, are trying
to focus on what’s in your mind. This causes you to stare, creates
visual tension and sends mixed messages to your brain.
Key # 5
Look with the “Eyes of a Childâ€
Engage in your world as a child would – with excitement, freshness,
awe and wonder – as if you are seeing everything for the first time.
If you are remembering to blink, to move your eyes and shift focus,
to use your peripheral vision and to avoid daydreaming, you can
get stuck in the trap of just mechanically using your eyes. There’s
a big difference between seeing and actively looking. There’s always
something new and different to notice.
Apply these 5 tips consciously and regularly and you’ll find
that not only will your eyes start to feel more relaxed but your
seeing will become clearer. If you want a complete method to improve
