Mary, hi. Here’s something I wrote a while back about Dry Eye — there may be some hints here to help you. I don’t consider this a “problem”, just the eyes trying to get your attention, so they can be cared for a bit more.

I know I need to see a good eye doctor soon.

Louis, I agree. Physical and emotional and mental health all contribute to eye/vision health, to me.

Eyes are one of the most important senses.
Eyes are the windows to our souls.
We should be eye health conscious.

This old blog post is my best attempt at explaining central fixation: http://www.iblindness.org/1411/how-do-i-practice-central-fixation/.

About my own visual experience, I agree with the 180 degrees around my head, almost — I have a slightly smaller visual field to the left which is my more blurry eye. And it’s less clear farther out unless I’m very relaxed.

About your questions, I learned more from my own experience than from any book, so I encourage you to stay aware of what you’re seeing, and of how that feels.

He also mentioned that he could notice an ant crawling on his wall from far away. If possible, could you describe your visual experience? It would make sense that vision is a circular field-like phenomenon since the eyes are circular in nature. Sorry if I’m asking too many questions or heading down the wrong track, but I’ve been trying to correctly understand central fixation.

The visual system is not separate from the rest of your being. If you think you should be eating more vegetables or going to bed earlier, try it for a while and see if it lowers your tension level. I’m guessing vision improvement is not making you tense, it’s just allowing you to notice the tension that’s been there all along. You may wish to experiment with a practice specifically dedicated to lowering stress, like meditation or yoga. A relaxed body and mind lead to more relaxed vision.

I would think that it would subside and tension will start releasing. Physically, I feel less tense some of the time, but the general mental tension levels have increased. Am I doing something wrong here? Could it be that I should go to bed earlier or eat more vegetables?

Good — it sounds to me like you’re on the right track. Keep noticing the stress, and letting it go as much as you can. The eyes are connected to the rest of the body, and when the mind and body are tense, the visual system usually is too.

I haven’t been here in a while, but I’ve been improving my stress levels. I’ve discovered that deep breathing works really good for me. My eyesight naturally responds positively though. However, I still have problems with eye contact; in fact my aversion to eye contact has gotten worse. But I’ve kinda always had problems with eye contact.

It was multiple sclerosis — I basically fried my nervous system, the coating on my nerves unravelling like frayed wires. The neurologist told me 10 years later that I should be in a medical textbook, because no one improves, that people get worse fast or slow but always get worse. An attitude of a fierce intent to heal, no other result is possible, will get you a long way! You see why I have such a focus on calming my nervous system? I want the signals (visual and otherwise) to continue flowing freely and without static.
