Yes, that seems to be true JMartinC4.
I just want to check with you what you think about my latest "plan". ;D
My plan is to do the palming with closed eyes, and then I for instance move my eyes upwards (when I palm with closed eyes) to feel the tension in that eyemuscle, then I relax the eyemuscles (or just that eyemuscle) and then I should feel that my eyes automatically moves all by themselves back to the rest position driven by no force (that is the eyes will go back to the rest position due to the relaxation of the upper eyemuscle only), that is move up and rest down.
Then I continue to move the eyes for instance downwards, and then relax them such that they move all by them selves to the rest position again.
Then you continue left and right also, maybe around the clock where the center of the clock is the rest position.
So the meaning of this exercise is to be able to move your eyes away from the rest position with most effortless force and back to rest position with no force. Then there will be no tension struggling in two directions simultaneously.
Now, when I have found how to move the eyes around the rest position, then I will notice that the central fixation will be much easier. I have not reached this goal yet, but I can imagine that this must be the case.
That is the tension caused the eyes to focus on a false fovea, and this will go away by the "plan".
So according to me it is doomed to try to exercise to hit the true fovea unless you have not found your rest position in the first place.
I think I will skip the central fixation for a while, just do it sometimes to check my progress.
Do you think this is d ???

Also the smaller movements you are able to do the better, but in order to learn this you need to start exercise with longer movements to be able to learn to feel the tension and how to switch it on and off. Then you can successively do smaller and even smaller movements as time proceeds.
