When one mentions of “vision correction” there’s a tendency to think there’s something wrong with the eyes. Bu did you know that your eyes are the ones actually doing the “seeing”?

They are merely windows in which light rays passes through. These light rays are encoded into brain signals that are sent to the visual cortex (the part of your brain that processes these signals). The brain then decodes those signals and generates the images that you see.

In trying to correct their vision, most people try to fix the window. After all, we’ve often been told that because the window is wrong, light rays landed on the wrong part of the eye. Right?

But the truth is, your brain is the one that causes the window to be wrong in the first place. Why? Because it adapts to the environment you’re in. If you’re spending most of your time doing close range work, and you’re always under a lot of stress, then your brain will adapt and send signals to your eyes to make it myopic.

The key to natural vision correction, therefore, is not in correcting the eyes. It’s in correcting the brain. For starters, here’s what you can do:

  1. As much as possible, get rid of stress. People who are stressed have higher incidence of eye problems.
  2. Try to focus on one task at a time. Studies have shown that multi-tasking decreases productivity and places unnecessary strain on your eyes.
  3. For every 50 minutes of work that you do, palm for 10 minutes. This eye exercise is a great way to rest and restore your eyes.
