Vision Improvement Principles

There are 3 principles to natural vision improvement that Dr Bates discovered decades ago. If you want to naturally improve your vision, I think it’s crucial that you understand them. There are numerous eye exercises that you can do but it’s inevitable that sometimes you might interpret them wrongly. Understanding the principles behind them, I believe, would prevent this and hopefully, propel you forward instead of holding you back in your efforts to improve your vision.

The three principles are:

1. Movement. Here’s a little experiment that you can do. Look for people you know who have perfect vision. Would you say they are “active”, “squirmy” or “just couldn’t stay still”? They most probably are. Perfect vision requires movement because rigidity causes fatigue while movement promotes circulation!

2. Centralization. Have you ever tried to see everything at once? Back when I was in high school, I used to force myself to see everything in my surrounding since I thought that would give me an advantage in noticing someone is coming for the ball. My eyesight quickly deteriorated because diffusion causes strain and is unnatural. Our eyes are built for centralization, meaning we see only one small space at a time. Bates once said if you look at a chair, you should be seeing its back-rest, its legs and every other parts separately.

3. Relaxation. We have been educated to think that effort is always a good thing. So in out quest for perfect vision, we often place lots of effort into seeing something we cannot see – and therefore causing us to squint. Sight should be just like any other senses, they do not need effort on our part. If we tried to intervene, it will deteriorate rapidly. So try to relax and let your natural vision system to work. That’s what eye exercises allows you to do – take on a new habit to relax your eyes – and thus rebuild your vision.

Improve Your Vision by Adopting These Simple Habits

Everyone knows that their body can adapt to demand and challenges. If you carry a lot of weight, your body will grow muscles to overcome the challenges. If you run long distances, your body grow stronger heart so as to sustain prolonged period of energy release.

But did you know that it’s not just your body that can adapt? That’s right. Your eyes also can adapt to different needs. If you constantly look at close range objects, like reading, watching tv and doing the dishes, your eyes adapts and pretty soon you’ll soon find yourself excelling in looking near distance objets… but at the expense of long distance sight… thus the myopia.

So do we counter this? Easy enough. Adopt a simple habit.

For every 60 minutes of looking at close distance objects, look away at something at least 10 metres away for about 10 minutes. I do this by looking out my window into a field. It relaxes me, which of course, is also beneficial to my eyes.

The Connection Between Your Mind And Your Eyes

Did you know that your iris enlarge when you see someone or something attractive? And that they shrink when you see someone or something unattrative?

I know, it sounds cruel but the fact is, your body literally wanted to see less of ugly things and/or people.

This phenomenon implies that there’s a very strong connection between your mind and your sight. Studies have shown that your eyes react to what your mind thinks.

In other words, your iris enlarge when you’re fantasizing… and your iris shrink when you’re having nightmares. Your eyes don’t rest when you are asleep. It “sees” whatever is in your mind.

So if you’re someone who’s thinking about work whole day long (even when you’re resting and sleeping), it’s natural that your eyes strains itself because it is “looking” at things that you don’t like.

Why am I telling you all these?

That’s a good question. Because you see, if you ever want to improve your vision, it all begins in your mind. In this case, you really get what you think.

One of the most beneficial habits you can pick up is meditation. Meditation relaxes your eyes and therefore tremendously helps in improving your vision. To meditate, simply sit down in a comfortable position and direct your thoughts to your breath.

This can be difficult to do when you’re just starting out but practice makes perfect. A simple 10 – 15 minutes meditation a day is enough when you’re starting out. I personally meditate 4 times a day, 15 minutes each time.

Improve Your Vision By Resting Your Eyes

Resting their eyes is one those crucial activities most people don’t do. I admit that I often forget about them too.

But I can tell you that doing any near point activities, for a prolonged period of time, is harmful for you eyes. That includes staring at your monitor, watching tv, cooking, housework, reading and so on. You get the idea.

The rule is to dedicate 1 minute to rest your eyes for every 10 minutes of work. I generally opt to rest 3 minutes for every 30 minutes.

Yes, I know sometimes the ball is rolling and you’re so engrossed working that if you stop, you’ll lose your momentum. This is a huge I discovered by trying to take a break.

Most of us when engrossed would work for hours, non-stop. What you didn’t know is that your productivity slowly decreases over time. Some productivity gurus teach a series of alternate engage-disengage to maximize results.

Work 2 hours. Stop 30 minutes. And so on. I personally found 30 minutes – 3 minutes cycle works better for me. Try it and see.

So what do I do in that 3 minutes of rest? I simply look out the window and get my eyes see as far as possible. If I’m in an enclosed area, I palm. This habit alone has been a great boon in my efforts to rebuild my vision.

I learned this technique from the Rebuild Your Vision Program and it is just one of the many Orlin revealed inside. It’s no wonder that it’s working so well.
