(Note: Here are some exercises for improving your eyesight. For more serious problems get help from your eye doctor.)

Eyesight improvement is achievable. You can learn to see without glasses and be relieved permanently of the pain and distress so frequently associated with defective sight. But you cannot Improve your vision by magic.

CENTRAL FIXATION

The retina is a sensitive film on which the picture falls. But there is one point on the retina where the vision is perfect; that is the Macula Lutae, a point only one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter in the very center of the retina. When we focus at this point we have what is known as central fixation and our vision is perfect.

If you have lost the capacity of central fixation you are seeing with Eccentric fixation which often causes headaches, fatigue, pain or discomfort of some kind, such as twitching of the eyelids or the eyeballs. This twitching, by the way, can be stopped by pressing the sides of the base of the nose as high as the inner canthus with the forefingers of both hands, avoiding any pressure on the eyeballs.
Continue the pressure for several minutes, with the eyes closed, and you will obtain relief.

One way of checking on whether you are seeing by central or eccentric fixation is to look at a word on this page. Do you see it most sharply where you are looking or do you see it better when you look a little away from it? When you look at the top of a printed letter do you see the bottom of the letter more clearly than the top? If so, you have lost central fixation.

If you are to see, you must bring your mind to bear on what you see. Because the eye can focus sharply and is at its maximum power only on a very small area at a time, an attempt to see a larger area results in a blurring of physical vision and a lack of mental focus. Teach yourself to look at what you see, to watch one tiny area at a time. For when the central fixation is perfect, the eye sees perfectly.

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SEE

For significant eye sight improvement, give the object you are looking at your mental as well as your visual attention. The more clearly it registers on your mind, the more clearly it will register on the eye.

Test this out for yourself. In the room where you are sitting there are probably a dozen objects which you no longer "see" because you are so accustomed to their presence that you are no longer aware of them. Look at each one in turn, not staring, but with quick, easy glances, thinking about what you are regarding. That doorknob-could you have described it before? Now you know its approximate size, contour, the material of which it is made, its relative position on the door, because your mind and not alone your eyes observed it.

Even such a familiar phenomenon as a moving picture gives us what we believe we see rather than what we actually see. A series of still pictures provides us with an illusion of movement.

SEE A SMALL AREA AT A TIME

Instead of staring, trying to take in a whole picture at one time and thus defeating the object of central fixation, look at one small part of the picture, shift your gaze to another small part, and another, blinking naturally all the time. The smaller the area, the more clearly you will see it.

People who have acquired bad seeing habits always try to increase their area of vision by staring, which defeats its own purpose. Staring not only causes muscular tension but a lowering of vision. You can test this for yourself by staring fixedly at an object or a word on this page. After a few moments of this effort the letters lose their sharp clarity and become blurred.

Eyesight improvement can be achieved with consistent time, effort and proper eye health care!
