Eye Exercises to Improve Vision
We exercise for health and well-being, but what about eye exercises? When we think of eye health, we don’t think about eye fitness!
These eye exercises are a part of a qigong (also spelled chi kung) vision therapy that I teach my students. Most if not all of them report seeing an immediate improvement after just a few minutes of exercise. If you don’t believe me, try them yourself. You have nothing to lose, except perhaps your eyeglasses!
It’s unfortunate that the eyeglasses are such a multi-billion dollar industry in the West, because they have so much influence over our way of thinking.
Eyeglasses do not improve eye health. They may help you see better, but when you take them off, you’re worse off than before you wore them. That’s because they act like crutches for your eyes.
When your eyes start to rely on them, the eye muscles weaken and become lazy. I prove this to my students by giving them a pair of pinhole eye wear to try on. They can read the eye chart perfectly without eyeglasses!
It’s not that they have changed anything in their eyes, only in the way they use their eye muscles:
Remember, they aren’t wearing eyeglasses, just eyewear frames with cardboard holes, but the pinpoint holes in the eyewear force their eyes to use certain muscles and to relax other muscles in order to focus properly. When they take off the eyewear, they are back to practicing their old habit of not focusing properly.
Therefore, if you want to improve vision, the solution is to throw away the eyeglasses you have become so dependent on and practice eye exercises that will train your eye muscles to function properly.
Of course, if you cannot see clearly to function in an otherwise safe environment, then by all means, wear them. But while you are practicing qigong or qigong eye exercises, you should not wear your eyeglasses. In fact, you should try to minimize your wearing time to as little as possible.
Let me say this one more time:
but make your eyesight WORSE over time!
