Central fixation
According to this structure, the eye, when vision is normal, sees one part of the object in question better, and all the others are worse, in proportion to their distance from the point of best vision. The eye tries to see simultaneously a significant part of its visual field equally well only if its vision is imperfect. Such an attempt inevitably leads to a strong strain on both the eyes and the psyche. This can easily be seen by anyone whose vision is close to normal, if he tries to see a sizeable area - all equally well - at the same time. At a close distance, an attempt to see a zone in this way even half a centimeter in diameter will lead to discomfort and painful sensations. All that gives the eyes a rest, naturally leads to the restoration of the normal level of central fixation. It is easily restored by conscious practice. Sometimes this is the easiest and fastest way to improve your vision.
As we noted in describing the structure of the eye and the principles of its operation, the center of the fovea, in which all the elements except cones and associated cells( neurons) practically disappear, is the site of the most acute vision. As the distance from this point, the acuity of visual perception decreases rapidly. Therefore, a healthy eye sees one part of any object that it looks at, best of all, and all other parts are worse, in proportion to their distance from the point of maximum visual acuity. An unchanging symptom of all abnormal eye conditions, whether functional or organic, is the loss of this central fixation. When vision deteriorates, irrespective of the cause, the sensitivity of the fossa likewise worsens, to the extent that the eye sees the same and even better the other parts of the retina.
And yet( again draw our readers' attention to this), the main factor in the violation, including the central fixation, is mental stress. Since all abnormal eye conditions - both organic and functional - are accompanied by mental stress, absolutely all of them should be accompanied by a loss of central fixation. It is no accident, when the brain is in tension, the eyes are usually more or less blinded. First of all, the center of view is blinded( partially or completely - this depends on the degree of tension).
If the voltage is high enough, all or most of the retina may be involved in this process. When the function of the center of vision is partially or completely suppressed, a person, we repeat, can no longer see the point at which he is looking best. In this case, objects that he does not look directly at are seen as well or even better, because the sensitivity of the retina now becomes approximately equal in each part or even better in the part that is outside the center. So, in all cases of impaired vision, a person is not able to see what he is looking at best. We ask our readers to remember that the nerves of the central fovea vibrate on their own, when and if they are relaxed. Therefore, learn to maintain your eyes in a relaxed state, both during rest and during visual work. No tension under any circumstances, except for conscious movements, when you do exercises.
When you can realize the vision of one part of your visual field better than anything else, you can also reduce the size of this visible best zone. If you look from the bottom of the largest letter on the check table to its top and see the part of this letter that you do not consider worse than the part fixed by the view, then you will most likely be able to do the same with the letter of the next line. In this way, we may be able to get to the bottom line and, looking from the top of the letters to their bottom, to see worse is their part that you do not directly consider. If you succeed, you can also read these letters.
The limits of the human vision naturally depend on the degree of central fixation. A person can read a road sign half a mile from himself when he sees all the letters equally well. But when he learns to see one letter better than everyone else, he will be able to read the smaller letters and inscriptions that he did not know existed on this index. The remarkable sight of savages who can see objects with the naked eye, for viewing which most civilized people require binoculars, or even a telescope, is explained by the fact that they unconsciously use a central fixation. Some people can see the rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter with the naked eye. But this is not due to any superiority in the structure of their eyes, but to the fact that they can use their own eyes, and this, in particular, is expressed in the fact that they have reached a higher central level than most civilized peoplefixation.
Since it is impossible to see very small letters without the help of a central fixation, reading a small font, if it can be done, is one of the best exercises for vision. Thus than weaker lighting, at which fine print can be read, and the closer to the eyes of it can be rendered, the better for you.
The very fact that central fixation is impossible without mental control means that the central fixation of the eye is also a central fixation of the psyche. In turn, this means a healthy state of all the organs of the body, since all the activities of the physical organism depend on the psyche. Not only sight, but also all other sensations - touch, hearing, taste, smell - benefit from using a central fixation. It also contributes to the improvement and all life processes: digestion, digestion, secretion, etc. The symptoms of functional and organic diseases come to naught. The effectiveness of the psyche and the quality of mental life increase dramatically. Any limits to the influence of central fixation can not be established.
It can not be asserted that an incipient cataract, an iris or glaucoma can be cured by a central fixation, but the fact that these conditions disappeared when a central fixation was achieved is a fact. Relief, as indicated in the literature, was achieved in a few minutes, and in some cases this relief became permanent. Of course, constant improvement usually required longer treatment.
After other treatments failed, central fixation was helpful in treating all kinds of inflammatory conditions, including inflammation of the cornea, conjunctiva, iris, various layers of the eyeball and even the optic nerve itself. Central fixation was also useful against infections and infections with influenza, typhoid, gonorrhea and syphilis. Even in the case of a foreign body getting into the eye, there was no redness or any suffering while the central fixation was maintained.
In short, the benefit of central fixation is so great that this subject deserves further scientific investigation, although the pompous orthodoxes will, of course, be outraged.
