Exercise "from close to distant"

( for those who have lost their previous vision to the distance)

Place the RNE table in good lighting at a distance from yourself so that you can see the top line.

Take a needle in your hand. Keep it at a convenient distance for you so that the eye of the needle points to the tip of your nose, and the point to the letters in the table. Close your eyes and achieve a clear sense of relaxation in your eyes. After taking a deep breath, open your eyes and, blinking, move your attention from the ear of the needle to its point several times, then quickly glance further at the letters. Do this for each letter, closing your eyes and making head turns as you move from one letter to another. At first, do not hold the needle too close to your nose, otherwise in the eyes there may be a pulling feeling. During all of your exercises, focus on resting bends, light looks, deep breathing and an apathetic, sluggish, lazy feeling of lack of any coercion.

THINKING

PALMING In a quiet place at home in the evenings, do for 15 minutes or more palming. Soft music will help you achieve the necessary state of complete relaxation. At some point you will feel that you have achieved a really successful palming. Remember this feeling. Lower your hands and try( with eyes still closed) to reproduce this sensation without the help of the palms. I had pupils who, during a period of stress during the working day, could disconnect for a while and so clearly reproduce this sensation that it seemed that their eyes were covered with palms. Subsequently, the problem of hands for them was solved very simply.

Real comprehension of knowledge and creative thinking are possible only in a relaxed state of mind. In your case - the case of people with long-sighted eyes - the relaxation method described here will make for your nervous system as much, as for your vision. Do your exercises, remembering this double goal. If your vision has worsened greatly, then do the exercises for myopic eyes.

COMBINING TWO EYES TOGETHER

Work with each eye individually until you can read your entire training table, except for the microscopic font. Holding the font while reading before the bandage, you stimulate the center of vision and prepare it for the best fusion( fusions), when you look with both eyes together. Never try to remove the bandage and combine both eyes together without first performing the palming. After the palming, do the exercise "Two pencils".

EXERCISE "TWO PENCILS"

Take two pencils of different colors, for example, red and yellow. Hold the red pencil vertically three inches from your nose, and the yellow one at arm's length( stretched out so that you do not experience any discomfort with it).Put your extended hand on the table or on the pillow. Now, using your nose like an engraving machine, "grab" them the left side of the remote pencil from the bottom up, then walk across the eraser at the top of the pencil, then go down to the right side of it. Then repeat everything in reverse order. Do this 3-4 times. Then, several times "engrave" a red pencil similar to your nose. Alternate the engraving of the near and far pencils for one minute, not forgetting to close your eyes for a short rest when you go up or down the pencil. Remember breathing and blink often. Soon you will notice that the pencil you are looking at remains single, while the other seems to be split into two( split).For some people, the double pencil is split more easily, for others the far pencil begins to double.

Do this exercise for a short period of time until you get a double pencil, which you do not look at. Then you will have what we call "gates"( "gate posts"), and then you will no longer need a far pencil. From now on, you will do your training reading with two eyes, looking between the two nearest posts of the gate to keep your eyes in a better alignment. If you keep the pencil close to the nose, then the gate will widen. If you push the pencil 4-5 inches from the nose, the gate will narrow. While reading, keep the gate close enough for its pillars to cover the training table: one column should be on one table field, and the other should be on the other field of the table. This will also limit the length of the head rotations performed during reading, which should be smooth, short and slow, while the eyes move quickly. Now, with both eyes, read the training table starting from the top row and making slow, short head turns within the separated pillars.

CENTRALIZATION AND EXERCISES TO TRAVEL: points, strokes and arcs

To pin your attention to whiteness under the lines of the font, draw it to the contact points of these white strips between the lines with the lower part of lowercase letters. The bases of these letters consist of points, dashes and arcs, as we call them. So, the bases of the letters "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" consist of arcs, the letters "f" from the point, the letter "g" from the arc, the letter "h"points, the letters "i" - from one, the letters "j" - from the arc, etc. Take a line of letters and draw a dot, dash or arc under each letter, depending on what their base consists of. Then read the line again. More clearly? Close your eyes, make head turns, without forgetting about breathing, and do the same with the next line. Then read it quickly. This is an exercise for centralization. As you get more precision in working with dots and strokes, the font will become clearer.

FREQUENCY UNDER YOUR FONT

To help develop your ability to navigate, keep the text that you are reading in a text page with boldface so that the lines on it are arranged vertically. Take a look at this article and quickly move the look back and forth across these vertical lines, imagining that this is a peculiar palisade. After that, look again at your text. It should be clearer.
