Practicing A great many people have asked, "How much time should one devote to practicing the methods of central fixation in order to be cured of imperfect sight without glasses?" The answer is--ALL THE TIME. One should secure relaxation or rest until one is perfectly comfortable and continue feeling comfortable as long as one is awake. The feeling of relaxation or comfort can be obtained with the memory of perfect sight. Even if one cannot remember perfect sight one can imagine it. All black objects should be imagined perfectly black. All white objects observed should be imagined perfectly white. All letters observed should be imagined perfectly and everything that is seen should be imagined perfectly. To imagine anything imperfectly requires a strain, an effort, which is difficult. Choose the easy way. Imagine things perfectly. If you try to imagine an object as stationary you will strain and your sight become impaired. All day long the eyes are moving from one point to another. Imagine that objects are moving opposite to the movement of the eyes. If one does not notice this one is very apt to strain and imagine things stationary. One can practice properly for ten minutes and be comfortable. That does not mean that all the rest of the day one can strain and tear one's eyes all to pieces without paying the penalty for breaking the law. If you are under treatment for imperfect sight be sure to keep in mind all day long from the time you wake up in the morning until you go to bed at night the feeling of comfort, of rest, of relaxation, incessantly. It is a great deal better to do that than to feel under a strain and be uncomfortable all day long.
I notice that you do not claim to be a vision professional. Neither am I. My answer, however, is NEVER! There is more to life than following a delusion. Bill
Of course I'm not a vision professional! I haven't even left highschool yet! And I don't want to be a vision professional either! It's so boring learning about the physiology of the eye.
Well, I would suspect your high school science teacher had quite bit to do with your minimizing your appreciation of the physiology of the eye (I am remembering "boring"). I am wondering why this had happened since the eye is really an extension of the brain, including its neural structure, which is really not boring. It's like something that determines what is boring (the brain/mind) saying it is boring (eye/retina).
Not really, in school we don't even learn in that much detail about the eye. You just go through basics, like how light rays enter the eye , and the function of each part of the eye. It's just a small sector in the biology syllabus. What I find boring is opinion, though. It's true that the eye is an extension of the mind. I like all the studies on mental process. But the actual physiology is boring.
