Thread: notes on looking at details and changing
Post: Re: notes on looking at details and changing

David, thanks very much for this last point about not moving my attention to something completely if I can see it "well enough". Fuzzy sort-of focus on what I'm looking at will continue to give me les...

I read about this kind of thing in one of the vision books but I don't remember which one, maybe Tom Quackenbush's. I use it for counting fenceposts or steps in the distance - getting the right count ...

I remember Dr. Bates writing about people who are staring in their sleep and so waking up with strained vision, so you're not alone. He recommended you do 50 or 100 long swings before bed to break up ...

David, Thanks -- this is an additional help. When my vision shifts away from sort-of clarity to more blur or double images temporarily, I've been seeing it as my brain re-calibrating the visual system...

Pikachu, Yes, the center of the visual field (seen by the macula) is very clear and a very small area, and the periphery is less clear, in normal healthy vision. The farther out you notice the periphe...
