Our mission is to help people obtain clear eyesight, healthy Eyes. The secret for clear vision that most eye doctors hide; Eye Movement; 'shifting' the visual attention (Central Field) from part to part on an object to see it clear. Relax. Blink. This is the main practice that brings clear vision. Replace squinting, trying to see with shifting. Dr. Bates describes shifting in his Magazine; When you look at a chair; avoid trying to see all parts clear at the exact same time. Look at one part at a time. Look at a part of the chairs back, then move to a different part on the back, then another part, then shift to a part on a leg, then shift to a arm, then the top, then side... When looking at a part; continue to shift small part to small part on the part. The eyes truly shift 'point to point', jumping about with small, fast, relaxed, tiny movements (saccades); moving the eyes' central field, its macula, fovea centralis in the center of the macula, eyes' retina upon the object of attention. 'Shifting and Central-Fixation.' The eyes move automatically with the attention of the mind, brain; objects the brain, eyes are looking at and objects, subjects, thoughts occurring in the mind using the memory, imagination. Improving the function and relaxation of the mind, body, memory, imagination improves eye movement, the clarity of eyesight. Clear eyesight improves all functions of the mind/brain and relaxation. Relaxed, normal eye movements, relaxed mind relaxes the outer, inner eye muscles, pulls healthy light into the eyes, removes tension on/in the eye, improves eye circulation, returns the eye to normal shape with correct focus of light rays in the eye, clear eyesight. Practice shifting at close, middle, far distances for clear eyesight at all distances. Practice as a healthy habit, normal, correct eye (visual system) function. Practice shifting; both eyes together, one eye at a time, both eyes together again. If vision is less clear in one eye at one or more distances; practice a bit more with the less clear vision eye to get the vision equal, perfect in the left and right eyes at all distances. Shift on fine print for clear close vision. Relaxation of the mind and eyes (eye muscles, body, neck ); Dr. Bates' main treatment. When the mind relaxes, the vision is clear. Function of the mind/brain; memory, imagination and other functions that work with the eyes improve, increasing visual clarity. "Practice, then Don't practice"; Let the eyes, vision function completely natural, perfect without conscious control, direction. Natural, normal, relaxed eye, visual system function.
