Farsightedness and patience to see results

Try to think of everything as practicing natural visual system functions. Avoid doing them as a drill type, 'use of hard effort' exercise. Some are exercises; like switching.
Long Swing, Sunning... ; think of as fun games or relaxation times. There is really no time limit. Do what right for you.
Shifting, central-fixation, memory-imagination, butterfly blinking, breathing, good posture can be thought of as relaxed natural vision habits. We practice, 'imitate' correct function of the eyes, brain, vision (visual system) as a easy habit until it becomes automatic, occurs on it's own maintaining clear eyesight. Then we don't need to practice. Just be aware to avoid squinting, locking the eyes-vision immobile when looking at something. The brain has a DNA... code in it for correct eye-vision function. Since life, development of the eye began. You are just reminding it to return to it's normal function. Once it remembers; its automatic.

Replace squinting, effort to see with; shifting, blink, relaxation. Central-fixation occurs pretty much on its own. I call it centralizing so people remember it means to also shift. MOVEMENT keeps the sight clear. Frozen eyes, mind tenses the system, lowers the vision.
Shifting... is done up close to cure presbyopia. Same way distant vision is cured. Shifting and central-fixation are really just the eyes fovea/macula (which produces the clearest vision, better then 20/20!) moving upon each object, part, tiny part you look at. Wherever you look; it's perfectly clear. If you want to see a clock on the wall; face it. Don't try to see the clock in front of you and a picture on the wall on the right perfect 'equally' clear at the same moment. Look at one at a time. This is what the eyes are doing as it moves object to object and part to part on a object.

Try this; draw 2 small dots about 1/4th inch apart side by side. (start 1-2 inches apart if its easier) Look at the dot on the left <. Move 'shift' upon it. Blink. Which dot is most clear? It should be the one your looking directly at, the left <. The right > is in the peripheral field (though very close to the macula-fovea, central) and is less clear.
Now look at the right > dot. Shift on it. Now that dot is most clear.

Now do this with smaller dots, 2 periods and move them closer together. You can get to the point where you can look at 2 microscopic dots; one your looking at will be in the center of the fovea and most clear. The other will be on the side of the center and be a little less clear.
This is prefect central-fixation and shifting. It improves 'perfects' your convergence, lens' movement-accommodation, eye movement, everything.

No force, effort when doing this. Think of something happy.

See the dot you look at, shift upon swing in the opposite direction; http://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id16.html

Now just read for fun.

I just do shifting if something is not perfectly clear. Otherwise I do nothing. But practice of shifting and doing the shifting on small parts of objects really helps speed improvement and keeps the vision better than 20/20. Sometimes we don't even realize we are staring, making an effort. A bit of practice prevents this. Just do it all with relaxation, nice and easy. Forget about the eyes and level of clarity.

Remember; Dr. Bates says; in all his years of practice he has never seen an eye that has normal vision all the time; its natural for it to fluctuate. It always returns to normal clarity if glasses are avoided. (and we do the right thing) There is an error of refraction each time the eye moves to a new point, distance. When the sight is clear and your relaxed, this is not noticed. The change in refraction, adjustment to the new object, distance is so fast.

Qi Gong! That stuffs strong! Interesting.

I wish we knew what really happened to your eye. If the doctor poked it, it seems to have healed. Maybe a bit of eye socket misalignment or muscle irritation occurred and these can correct themselves as the child grows, mother caresses the baby's head... Possibly the doctor corrected 'adjusted' it but didn't want to admit he had to do that. Something went right for you.

(Quote; I put the specs on the dresser and I left to work. For the first time in my young life I was able to see everything perfectly, and not double as it had always been. I had a great day, and that was the first one of my eyes freedom!) This is so inspiring! Thanks you so much for posting this.

I think this is presbyopia, not faright. It can be corrected with shifting on small objects, fine print letters and reading fine print. Also use the correct vision habits card;



It's on the website and in the e-books. Print it, cut along the dotted lines; http://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id23.html

Sometimes the close vision improves in 1-2 days. Because you have not given into the wearing of reading glasses (plus lens) you have prevented an increased level of blur. I figure you will progress quickly.

Sometimes the vision improves in stages. When you reach a level of improvement; if it stays there for a while, maybe only a few days, month..; don't worry; it will reach another improved level of clarity and get to perfect 20/20 and better. Then just read a bit of fine print each day or every other day. Carry a ring, stone and shift on the tiny parts in the sunlight. 5-10 min reading fine print, then 30 seconds to 2 min on the stone 1-3 times a day is all you need. I like it so much I print out Amazon Kindle books that authors give me free; 4 pages per sheet paper, sometimes 6, 8 and enjoy a good book while getting the benefit of the eyes lens staying mobile, eyes healthy.
