Are you near-sighted? Well you can improve how far you can see.

If your main problem is myopia - which means that you see things better close up and worse far away - you will be pleasantly surprised to discover that your first improvements in visual clarity will almost certainly be in the realm of distance vision. The reason for this is simple: since you do not see clearly in the far distance, you probably seldom look at things in the far distance, and consequently you do not have so many ingrained, hard-to-change visual habits associated with looking at things in the far distance. Looking into the distance will be a new world to you, so your approach will be more flexible, and your progress will consequently be that much faster.

Exercise:

Find a place that provides you with a genuine vista, preferably one which extends for miles. Look out as far as you can. The ‘horizon’ is different for everyone. It is basically the farthest distance where your eyes can distinguish anything at all, even if it is only a slight variation in color or shape. Find your own horizon and let your eyes move from point to point along it. Take in every detail, as though you were waiting for something to appear or searching for something you lost. Don’t necessarily look for anything specific, just look for anything at all. Anything that can be seen is of interest to you.

Now move your horizon a little closer and again move from point to point, detail to detail. Inevitably, you will be able to see more, to distinguish more. Each time you bring your horizon a little closer let your eyes dance from point to point and your mind take in all available details. By the time you have brought your point of focus as close as possible you will be almost overwhelmed by the variety and clarity of the details you can see. Remember to always blink constantly and to breathe deeply. If your eyes become tired, move your fingers all around your peripheral field and wiggle them rapidly, or stop and palm for a minute.

Then do this exercise in reverse: begin by shifting from point to point on the closest possible object and gradually move your plane of focus farther and farther away. At each stage stop for a minute to close your eyes and visualize what you have just seen, calling to mind as many details as you can remember. In this way you will keep a sense of clarity in your vision as you move farther into the distance. Repeat the exercise slowly, softly looking from near to far and far to near. Then stop, and look at the far distance for 7 minutes, remembering to blink and look from point to point, noticing details- colors, contrasts differences.

If you drive, when you are at a red light, take the few seconds to look as far as you can in the distance, rather than the car in front of you or your CD player!

Try this exercise at the ocean or lake, if you can. The eyes will love it!

Testimonial:

“As an engineer I value knowledge that can be applied and is useful. Meir gave me just that kind of knowledge during his six day course on naturally improving the eyesight. My prescription at the start of the course was at -7.00 with a 0.75 adjustment for a slight case of astigmatism. By using this new found knowledge my prescription is now -3.50 and the astigmatism is gone, which took me 8 months to achieve. My plan is to be done with glasses completely in a year; if not sooner! Meir, thank you for helping me reclaim the gift of sight….for life!”
