In one of the most spectacular research, Anna Gislen discovered how sea gypsies constrict their pupils in deep water instead of the usual reaction to expand them. The difference in constricting the pupils and expanding it, determines whether one could see under water or not.

This research showed just how much your brain affects your sight. Truth is, it’s not you eyes that determines whether you can see or not. It’s your brain.

Scientists have been able to send “sight signals” through the tongue of blind subjects and allowed him to “see”. In other words, his brain can now interpret taste as sight. If you’re myopic, or if you suffer from the common eye problems, the problem might lie in your brain, not your eyes.

The thing about the brain is that practice makes it perfect. Blind subjects who learn Braille often quickly forget what they learned when they  take a “blitz” approach (like a student studying for exams). But if they took their time and keep learning, they master the skill.

If you keep staring, if you keep refusing to blink and if you continue breathing shallowly, then your brain will learn these “skills” and make them a habit. Once it’s a habit, then it’s difficult to change – thus the impression that myopia and such are not curable.

So far the attention has always been given to the eyes. Now I want you to perceive the problem a little differently – look at your brain. Eye exercises are meant to train your brain just like frequent diving trained the brains of the sea gypsies. Eye exercises don’t “strengthen” your eye muscles.
