    Do you wear reading glasses or bifocals? If you really want to get rid of them, then you can do it, because, as Dr. Josephine Jackson writes in her book Outwitting Our Nerves, "the human body adapts to the requirements forhim ".

    Nowadays, vision in middle age usually deteriorates. The so-called "senile vision" with bifocals is perceived by us as natural. In the future, you can expect senile cataract, glaucoma and some other types of diseases worse. There may be such troubles as premature vision loss, the appearance of pain and the need for a surgical operation. Nevertheless, there are many people who have lived to 90-100 years old and have good eyesight. Grandmother Reynolds( Reynolds), a film actress and former student of mine, and in her 94 years had equally sharp mind and vision. She still continues her studies without using any glasses.

    It's not civilization at all, but the misuse of our eyes today is the reason for their spoilage. It is often asserted that the eyes were not intended to work at close range, which modern conditions of life require. But our ancestors also worked a lot at close range. City dwellers were always proud of their small embroidery. Peasant women after heavy work on the farm in the evenings made decorative stitches and decorated little clothes, and their husbands on long winter nights read books under the light of an oil lamp. Moreover, if you look carefully at some old book or almanac, you will notice that the paper was often rough and rough, and the font is small and not very clear. Nevertheless, in those days the percentage of serious vision problems was not as high as we have today. What then spoils our vision? The reason for this is an unnecessary race, undertaken by us, behind the vision, the conviction instilled in us from childhood that the more we try, the more success we will achieve. A vision at one distance should not be any more difficult than a vision on the other. All we need is to keep our eyes in a soft, relaxed and mobile state. You, who can not read without glasses, need to relax the body, nerves and eyes, then learn to relax the four straight muscles of the eye and, finally, increase the strength and endurance of the two oblique muscles of the eye to such an extent that they can keep the eyeball elongated in its axis inthe moment when you read. But how to do that?

    1. First of all, prepare your eyes for a new test of them. Make solarization, palming and turns-large and finger.

    2. Sit in good light, best in the sun, the rays of which should fall over your shoulder.

    3. Close one eye with a palm or a bandage, but so that the eye underneath it is open. Hold the palm of your other hand in front of your face at the level of the bridge of your nose about 1 ft from your face. Now gently and easily swing( then approach, then remove) the plane of the open palm of this hand with a blindfolded eye, trying to do it so that the palm of the fan-waving arm is in front of the blindfolded eye. Approach and distance your palm, while giving your eyesight a chance to relax on it. Do the exercise gently, rhythmically 20-30 times. Now rearrange the bandage and repeat the same with the other eye. When the eye relaxes and gets used to looking both at the near and far points without any effort, as it sees nothing interesting for viewing or interpreting, the four strained straight muscles of the eye will agree to relax and the eye can lengthen as the palm approaches. Now you are ready to work.

    4. Set the alarm at a distance from yourself so you can see it. If you still have good vision for the distance, then it can be put at the opposite wall of the room. Covering one eye with a bandage or band-aid, look at the number 1 on the dial of the alarm clock, then on the number 1 on your wristwatch. Look softly, relaxed, without effort. For a second, cover your eyes and, breathing out, look again at the wrist watch. At first, a great help will be given to you, a good strong illumination of the dial of the wristwatch. Close your eyes and gently turn your head from side to side. Now look at the number 2 on the alarm clock, and then on the wristwatch. The number on the wristwatch this time should be slightly clearer. If this does not happen, do not be discouraged. Close your eyes, turn your head and rest before you take another breath and look at the number 3 on the alarm clock, and then on the same number on the wristwatch. If you do this simple exercise to relax in a circle to the number 12, then the probability that the wristwatch will be visible after that is much clearer. Do not strain your eyes, but only if you can say so, invite the vision to come into action. At first, keep the watch at any distance, which is most convenient for you, because only the ease of execution brings success! If the wrist watch is not visible at first, then it is not worth worrying about it. The figures on them, at least, will be similar to themselves, even despite their vagueness.

    5. Now do the palming and entertain yourself for a while with a mental representation of yourself with something that you once saw and that gave you pleasure.

    6. Then place the closed eyelids for a while under the sun, while turning the head from side to side, or if you use artificial lighting, then let the light just fall for a few minutes on the closed eyelids.

    7. Repeat the above exercises with the other eye. After that, make solarization and palming for both eyes.

    8. Now you are ready to read! Take two of your tables for reading: the "debco" table with a set of lowercase letters and the "Basic vision" table. Cover one eye with a bandage.

    a) Put the debco table in front of your face to the side, so that the lines of letters become vertical. Doing small turns of the head, cross the mental continuation of your nose these series of letters, as if they were a stockade, back and forth 6 times. Do you have a sense of movement, it's as if these lines really cross your face first to one side, then to the other?

    b) Now turn the table to your back( clean) side, with one eye still to be covered with a bandage. Now fan( then hold, then distance) this clean side of the face, using it instead of the palm, as you did before. When the eye begins to perceive this change in distance with comfort, turn the table face up and read the top line, making small turns of the head from side to side.

    c) Now close your eyes and, mentally lengthening your nose, write them letters in the air as you saw them: debco. D) Then, taking a deep breath and turning your head from side to side, read the second line. Close your eyes and "write" it with your nose. Move this way down the table until it works out easily. E) Now take the table "Basic information about vision" printed in the article and, making small turns with your head from one page field to another field, read( from top to bottom) as many lines as you can make without effort. Then relax. Try to blink at each point and briefly close your eyes at the end of each paragraph.

    f) You can achieve the smallest font in this way: turn the article printed in the article upside down so that the line with the smallest font appears at the top. Covering one eye with a bandage, close your eyes and begin to fan your nose with a table, presenting the approaching white sheet surface that is approaching and then disappearing. Open your eyes, continuing to do the waving movements, and look at the white background, translucent between the lines of letters. These white gaps become during the fanning, then more, then less: more when the table is approaching and smaller when it is removed. Your eyeballs are now lengthening and flattening.

    G) Now turn the table upside down to read it, making head turns from side to side. To begin with, it follows from the paragraph on which you were forced to interrupt the earlier reading. This time you should be able to read a few lines more. Now look at the line with big letters at the very top of the table. They should be much clearer than they were when they started the exercise.

    This will be enough for the first reading lesson with this eye. Remove the bandage, make large turns, if possible, in the sun. The sun's rays must fall on closed eyelids. Make a palm for both eyes. After that, follow all the above exercises with the other eye. Finish your lesson with a long palm, preferably under soft music. This will give a good rest to the eyes after the unusual work for them.

    If you do these simple exercises for a few minutes every day, you will be surprised at the progress you will make. Having somewhat changed the words of Spencer, one can say that the bodies are strengthened by the independent performance of their work, and not at the expense of the fact that this work is done for them. Age does not matter. My oldest student was 96 years old. She died reading the Bible before going to bed. At the same time she did it without any glasses with artificial lighting. She came to me a few years earlier with a very severe cataract.
