Consciously take notice of your eyes right now. Is it moving or is it staying still?

If you’re myopic or farsighted, I can bet that it’s still. It’s passive. There’s little movement if any. Now, I want you to do a little “exercise” to see how your eyes really work.

I want you to close your eyes and lightly place your index and middle fingers on it. Just enough to feel your eyeballs, but not hard enough to press on them. Done it yet? After you place your fingers on your eyeballs, I want you to roll your eyes.

Look up, right, down, left and back up.

Notice how your eyes move there? It’s not smoothly rolling around the sockets. It’s jumping around. That movement is called peripheral movements. And peripheral movement is how our eyes are designed to see.
