Post: Re: Tsukiomi's Vision Journal

Yeah, I suppose larger eye movements are okay if it's part of conscious practice, as it helps to notice the effects of shifting and whatnot, but if it's something that happens subconsciously in situat...

Another one of my sporadic updates. I've recently decided to approach my problem from a different direction. Given that I don't have much time for formal practice and that a lot of the "practice" I s...

I see. I seem to see best or near-best when the fine print is between two and five inches from my eyes. Is that normal? Further out than seven or eight inches and my nearsightedness starts to show. An...
