Thread: Computer use, with or without glasses?
Post: Re: Computer use, with or without glasses?

I think it depends. Again, you're the best judge for which is less straining. Personally, I usually have to settle for reduced lenses because leaning in is simply just too much strain for me. If you'r...

Thread: Computer use, with or without glasses?
Post: Re: Computer use, with or without glasses?

Thread: Palming and My Eye Strain
Post: Re: Palming and My Eye Strain

I think that it might be a good idea to accept the strain first. Maybe even put your attention on how the strain feels and see how many strains you can feel throughout your body. I find that when I tr...

Thread: Spacing out or Central Fixation
Post: Re: Spacing out or Central Fixation

I could be off on this, as I am still learning too, but my understanding is that central fixation has nothing to do with the peripheral vision. I don't think the presence of it can affect the peripher...

Daniel, I still don't think that someone who practices on his/her own needs to discard the eyeglasses completely. I think it's pretty clear that not discarding glasses will lengthen the process and pr...

@cezar: It is also worth mentioning that trying to see too large an area can be considered staring. For example, even though I shift from one point to another on a computer screen, I still often find ...

@Nancy: Exaggeration of the strain has led to mild, temporary improvement for me as well. But it appears that I misunderstood Sean's post when I did that. Either way, I think that noticing the strain ...

Good to know that I'm on the right track. The hardest part is not stacking strains on top of one another. It's really tempting to try to "undo" a strain, only to find that all you've done is add anoth...

That's pretty interesting. I've actually noticed that phenomenon before, but I never thought to produce the strain intentionally! My own personal experience is a bit strange. Sometimes, when I am stan...

Also, in paragraph two of Part V (Results), I think there is a typo. I am assuming that "legimitely" should read "legitimately" (admittedly, I did have to double-check that one with a dictionary). By...
