Post: Re: tips on breathing, mental pictures, & "making ...

One more thought. As you inhale and exhale, see if you can feel a subtle movement in your eye muscles. This movement is a form of locked-in strain. It might take a while to notice this movement, but i...

I've been getting VERY good results with my eyesight recently by practicing breathing. It may sound strange, but strain that we hold in our eyes seems linked to an entire complex of strain that cause...

Sean, here are a few more tips to help you out. It does take a lot of repeated tries to figure out exactly what you're doing subconsciously, but once you have that "aha" moment, everything clicks int...

I'm interested in hearing about others' experiences with perhaps the most important aspect of vision improvement: undoing wrong thoughts. Just to get the conversation started ... As I've said before,...

I respectfully disagree with everyone telling you to postpone school. If vision improvement meant that I had to sacrifice an education, job, etc., I wouldn't find it worthwhile. Get a pair of lenses...

Thread: Shifting, am I doing it right?
Post: Re: Shifting, am I doing it right?

Everyone is different, but I'm concerned that y'all are getting too weak glasses. Going more than about 0.5 to 1 diopters weaker your "20/20" lenses is likely* to result in inadequate vision under a ...

Eyestrain seems somehow linked to the fear of falling. The next time you ride standing up on the subway or on a bus, notice how, just as you shift your weight and tense certain muscles in your legs t...

Another way to get an understanding of what it means to add strain, try "flashing": close your eyes or, better yet, do palming for a while, and then open them for a splitsecond, with the only goal be...
