Can this be a shifting exercise?

[Rosangela]

Hello,

I came across the page below, showing "animated dots, lines, cubes, and spheres that move and shift in endlessly in mesmerizing geometrical patterns" - it's really relaxing to watch, and I was wondering if that could be favorable - or unfavorable - to our vision improvement. I assume it can be positive because as we follow the movements of dots, etc, we are practicing shifting. But I'd like to have a more experienced opinion on that, since the images we are looking at are only on a screen.

Interesting. I would not use because its much like artificial 3-D; like video games; no true depth, dimension. I'd rather look at real objects with lot detail and movement. Tree leaves blowing in wind, clouds moving. In real player; you can set audios to show a screen of moving colors. Still not true 3-D but better movements than other computer images.

I am working on making a new audio for the homepage and will set it to show 4 moving colors. See the blind audios and play with real player; http://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id133.html
Try Janet Goodrich; might have them in her free audios; http://www.janetgoodrichmethod.com/ I think you have to sign up for the newsletter to get the audio.

I like Optometrist Harold Peppard's book. I think in his book he has those pictures that can be viewed 1-3 different ways according how the brain is interpreting. Like the picture here; https://www.google.com/search?q=illusion...+&tbm=isch

and here; https://www.google.com/search?q=optical+...00&bih=720

It activates parts of the brain we don't always use. He has a bunch of different ones activating diff areas of the brain. Or maybe its Harry Benjamin. I would check my books and upload but those books are still in copyright.

Hi Rosangela,

I found them intriguing to look at, like you said, a little mesmerizing. Very cool, but I would agree with Mary, it probably isn't the best way to practice shifting. While it may stimulate certain parts of our visual brain, it's quite busy, and two-dimensional. We need to learn to provide our own impulse to shift, on stationary scenery, objects, and not have to rely on busy movement to be the driving force of why we shift. A lot of shifting is exploratory in nature, until something catches our attention and we hone in on more detail to compile more information about the object or scene. We use our whole field of vision to do that, peripheral as well as central, our sense of depth being vital to the process, which relies heavily on peripheral awareness.

That being said, it is great that you are finding fun ways to use your eyes, and things that are interesting to look at. A few minutes of that here and there doesn't hurt, it can stimulate our visual brain centers a bit; I just wouldn't recommend spending too much time with it, and be mindful not to get too mesmerized, or you may start to stare instead of maintaining healthy, helpful shifting habits.

Rosangela; Thanks for showing me this. It reminded me I needed to fix the audio on the home page. I forgot it about months ago!
I also made a video with the moving lights from Real Player. Helps people navigate the site. Good idea, thanks! Came out fuzzy but learning new software then will recreate;

Here's a new eyeglass place that also does height of the eyeglass lens and other frames settings;



The website; http://www.visio-rx.com/


They are saying that most other online optical stores just do P.D. and hide the fact that the height of the lens; so is centered exactly and the frame size for the ears, head.... are also very important to get correct.

Here's selectspects;

How to measure microscopic print.
I am too busy, why didn't I think to just take a ruler and measure straight from Bates book. Duhhhh.

So; looks like Dr. Bates micro is 1/2 inch plus 2 little lines on ruler;
This is from his 1920 red 1st edition;

   

So if you print this out you will know its printing correct size if it measures this top to bottom.

I think it is micro; says photographic type reduction. See Optometrist Harold M. Peppard's microscopic. It looks smaller by one tiny line on ruler. But we must also consider size of the print;

   

http://www.amazon.com/Sight-Without-Glas...out+glasse

Here is my ruler;

   

Here's the list of names and showing the size;

   

I still do not know the number of each letter size on the list below but at least this gives the measurement of a page in Dr. Bates book reduced in size to microscopic.

You gave me an idea; To find the size of Diamond type;

Redo in Photoshop by making the sentence-words same amount across as are in bates micro print above but keep size to Diamond. Add more sentences by just copy/paste the top until have as many sentences as Bates micro. from top to bottom.

This might create a reduced page of Diamond and then we can measure it with ruler for size.

Then try other sizes. Any ideas or am I too tired out and this wont work as I think?
