Thanks for the replies and for patiently replying to my multiple questions.i will work on all the things you have said and get back to you ma’am.

Sriram, when you see clearly, you are moving your gaze a tiny bit all the time to pick up a new “center”, and paint the image in your brain in more and more detail. Trying to see a large area at once is going in the wrong direction. You want to see a point at a time, then shift to see the next point of interest. When your vision is healthy you do this so automatically and so quickly you’re not aware of it, and you think you’re seeing everything at once. You need to get your eyes used to moving again. Notice and appreciate the clarity, then shift somewhere else to see more. A shift can be tiny, around a single letter, or across the room. Take care Sriram.

Hi ma’am thanks for the reply.i only have one final question.previously when my vision was normal I didn’t notice this distinction between central and peripheral vision and I also didn’t know that we could only see a small area since everything seemed to be clear to me.but after my vision became imperfect I notice this more now and that is pushing me into trying to see a large area clearly.can you help me understand why when I had perfect vision everything seemed to be clear and now I see only a tiny area clearly and that is very noticeable now

Hi again Sriram. I’m thinking you’re trying too hard. The reason I suggested the Long Swing is to get you into an easy flowing movement where you’re not trying to see anything, just noticing the environment slide by in front of your gaze. If you can “consciously see that I can see only a small area very clearly” that is central fixation — everything you are not directly looking at in that moment (your periphery) is less clear. Shift your gaze, and notice the new center is where things are most clear. You’re doing better than you think — don’t put so much pressure on yourself. I can’t continue to be your personal vision coach unless you’re a client of mine, by the way. If you’re interested in signing up for a short free consultation, you can do that here: https://nancylneff.com/discovery.htm. Best of luck in your vision improvement.

Hi Nancy.thanks for the response.but as you have mentioned in the article when I practice central fixation I am able to consciously see that I can see only a small area very clearly.that itself is actually making me to see a large area clearly as if my eye is a camera.this is what dr bates also mentioned as eccentric fixation right.when I try to do like that my eye becomes stiff and immobile and staring sets in.how do I get back that relaxation to get free saccades and central fixation and lose the staring and eccentric fixation habit

Hello Sriram. Central fixation should be easy and without effort, gently noticing without straining or trying to see, just inviting in the clarity as you move from point to point, seeing what you look at directly as the most clear. Some movement practice like with the Long Swing may help you to break up the staring habit. This article may give you something to play with: https://www.iblindness.org/1344/the-long-swing-and-me/. Easy does it! 🙂
