Irregularity of refraction

The theory that the refraction anomalies are caused by the deformations of the eyeball naturally led to the conclusion that they represented an unchanged state and that normal refraction is a permanent condition. However, in fact, the facts do not correspond to this point of view.

If we understand exactly how the shape of the eyeball is regulated by its external muscles and to what extent it changes instantly under their influence, then it is easy for us to understand that no refractive state, normally or not, can be permanent. There are no pairs of eyes with a constant and invariable value of the refraction anomaly. Every ophthalmologist must know from his own experience that the theory of the incurability of refractive errors is untrue. Often such visual impairments are spontaneously cured or change their form. For a long time in science, it has been accepted either to ignore such facts that cause restlessness to the theory of honor, or to get rid of them by superficial explanations. And we now assert that for all people with refractive anomalies during the day and night, there come instants when their vision is completely normal, and their hypermetropia, myopia or astigmatism completely disappear. Equally, the shape of the anomaly may change: myopia and hypermetropia pass into each other, and one form of astigmatism is replaced by another. Specialists for whom such axioms are revelations, we can only invite appropriate observations without bias.

Dr. Bates writes that, when he examined thousands of pairs of eyes in a New York hospital, he noted cases when refractive errors either spontaneously changed shape or completely disappeared. This naturally led to the conclusion that the refractive anomalies are curable, otherwise they would not have to spontaneously disappear or change their form.

It is very important to understand that when an eye looks at an unfamiliar object, an anomaly of refraction always appears. Famous for everyone, eye fatigue when looking at paintings and other exhibits in the museum is one example of this kind.

Here it is appropriate to say a few words about the psychological attitude, about pessimums and optimums. All that a person is interested in is the optimum for the eye: hidden reserves are included, and the person sees objects normally. But as soon as interest disappears and uncertainty or coercion appears, the object under consideration acts as a pessimum. So, for the majority of visitors to the ophthalmologist's office, the checklist is always a pessimism, and their vision is much worse than it actually is. But if you can see it with normal eyesight, then you are able to see almost everything you want in this world. Patients who can not see the letters on the checklist are often able to see other objects of the same size and from the same distance. Remember: whether the subject you are looking at, or the font on the check table of the rosary is vague, depends on the way you look at it. Look at him straining, and he will seem indistinct to you. Look at it easily, taking a deep breath, and the font will become clearer. Why? Because effort is the factor that makes vision worse. Thus, the results of such surveys strongly depend on the conditions in which they are conducted.

You can take the best eyes in the world and check them so that the owner of them can not serve in the army. Conversely, the test can be carried out so that the eyes, obviously having abnormal eyesight, within a few minutes required for verification, will reach a normal view and can ideally read the check table. Dr. Bates gives a striking example of this kind: one girl had such a strong vision that she could see the companions of Jupiter with the naked eye, but she became myopic as soon as she was asked to solve in her mind some problem in mathematics - an object too unpleasant for her.

In conditions of physical or mental discomfort, such as pain, runny nose,

cough, temperature, heat or cold effect, agitation, anger, depression, in the normal eye refractive anomalies always occur, and in the eye where they already exist, these anomaliesaggravated. Noise is also the cause of poor eyesight. Unexpected loud sound helps to reduce vision, familiar sounds do not.

Any abnormal work of the external muscles of the eyeball is caused by stress, and also by the effort to see which acts as one of the forms of stress, and with the removal of this tension the action of the muscles normalizes, and all refraction anomalies disappear.

The eye can be affected by cataracts, may suffer from retinal or optic atrophy, but while the does not make efforts to see the its external muscles are working normally and there is no abnormality of refraction. This fact allowed us to find a way through which it is possible to eliminate all abnormal conditions considered incurable.

Each kind of refraction anomaly corresponds to its type of voltage. So, myopia( myopia) is not associated with using the eyes to work at close range, as is commonly thought, but it is with an effort to see distant objects, and, accordingly, hypermetropia( hyperopia) develops not because of viewing distant objects, but inAs a result of constant efforts to see objects at the near point, which often occurs in people who can not read without tension.

But all people under certain conditions can relax at will. The effort to see can be temporarily reduced for all uncomplicated refraction anomalies in a fairly simple way: for this it is necessary to look at a clean wall for a while without trying to see. Sometimes it takes a lot of time and ingenuity to achieve continuous relaxation. As in everything, the same method is not suitable for everyone. I must say that the ways people strain in the effort to see are endless. Similarly, there are various methods that can be used to relieve or reduce stress. In all possible ways, repeated repetitions and constant display, one should always and everywhere emphasize that the ideal vision is acquired by only by by relaxation.

So, we claim that , since no refraction anomaly is an unchanged state, low anomalies can be completely eliminated, and higher - are reduced and then eliminated.
