MEANING OF 20/20; (for distant
vision)
+THE TOP NUMBER INDICATES THE DISTANCE THE PERSON IS STANDING FROM THE CHART.
+THE BOTTOM NUMBER
INDICATES THE SIZE OF THE LETTER, THE LINE THE EYES ARE LOOKING AT.
A 20/20 LETTER IS 3/8 " HIGH.
+THE BOTTOM NUMBER ALSO INDICATES THE DISTANCE
THAT A PERSON WITH CLEAR VISION SEES THE LETTER CLEAR.
EXAMPLE; THE 20/20 LINE ON THE TEST CHART
FOR DISTANT VISION;
THE TOP NUMBER, 20 INDICATES; THE PERSON IS STANDING 20 FEET AWAY FROM THE LETTER ON THE EYE CHART.
THE BOTTOM NUMBER, 20 INDICATES THE PERSON IS LOOKING AT THE 20/20 LINE, 3/8" LETTER AND, THAT; A PERSON WITH CLEAR
20/20 VISION CAN SEE THE LETTER CLEAR AT 20 FEET AWAY.
THE EYECHART IS PLACED AT 20 FEET TO TEST DISTANT VISION
BECAUSE THE EYE DOES NOT NEED TO UNCONVERGE, UNACCOMMODATE ANY FURTHER WHEN LOOKING AT ABOUT 20 FEET AND FARTHER INTO THE
DISTANCE.
IF THE LETTERS ARE SEEN CLEAR AT 20 FEET, THEN THEY SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE SEEN CLEAR AT ALL DISTANCES BEYOND
20 FEET.
HERES ANOTHER EXAMPLE;
20/200;
+THE TOP NUMBER (20) INDICATES THE PERSON IS STANDING 20 FEET
AWAY FROM THE EYECHART.
+THE BOTTOM NUMBER (200) INDICATES THE SIZE OF THE LETTER, LINE PERSON IS LOOKING AT.THE 200 LINE LETTER IS THE LARGEST LETTER ON THE TOP
OF THE CHART.
A 20/200 LETTER IS 3 AND 1/2 INCH HIGH.
+THE BOTTOM NUMBER, (200) ALSO INDICATES THAT A PERSON
WITH CLEAR 20/20 EYESIGHT CAN SEE THE LETTER CLEAR AT 20 FEET AND UP TO 200 FEET AWAY.
A PERSON WITH 20/200 DISTANT
VISION CAN SEE THE LARGE 20/200 LETTER AT 20 FEET BUT CANNOT SEE IT CLEAR FARTHER THAN 20 FEET.
IT MAY BE SEEN CLEAR
AT CLOSER DISTANCES.
SMALLER LETTERS BELOW THE 20/200 LINE ARE NOT SEEN CLEAR AT 20 FEET AND FARTHER AWAY.
20/200
VISION IS VERY UNCLEAR, MUCH LESS CLEAR THAN 20/20.
VISION CAN BE MORE UNCLEAR ; 20/300, 5/200...
MANY PEOPLE
WITH 20/200, 300 AND MORE UNCLEAR VISION HAVE ATTAINED 20/20 AND CLEARER VISION WITH PRACTICE OF THE BATES METHOD.
20/40 VISION IS CLEARER THAN 20/200 BUT LESS CLEAR THAN 20/20.
20/40 IS CONSIDERED OK FOR DRIVING IN MOST STATES.
20/40 IS CLOSER TO 20/20 CLARITY AND PEOPLE CAN FUNCTION COMFORTABLY WITH 20/40 VISION WITHOUT WEARING EYEGLASSES.
WHEN
VISION IS LESS CLEAR THAN 20/40; 20/50, 70, 100... IT IS STILL BEST TO AVOID WEARING EYEGLASSES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
EYEGLASSES
MAINTAIN AND INCREASE THE EYE MUSCLE TENSION AND BLUR.
WHEN GLASSES ARE AVOIDED THE EYES, EYE MUSCLES, VISUAL SYSTEM
RELAXES, CORRECT VISION HABITS CAN BE EASILY APPLIED AND CLARITY OF VISION IMPROVES.
CLOSE VISION IS
TESTED WITH SMALLER LETTERS WITH A EYECHART PLACED AT VARIOUS DISTANCES CLOSER THAN 20 FEET.
THERE ARE 4 DISTANT
EYE CHARTS FOR FREE DOWNLOAD ON THE TOP OF THIS PAGE. CHARTS MAY LOOK DULL ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN BUT THEY PRINT CLEAR. IT IS DIFFICULT TO PRINT THE EXACT, CORRECT LETTER SIZE
FROM THE INTERNET. TRY PRINTING
ON 100% OR LARGER. THE BIG C CHARTS
PRINT OUT ON 4 SEPARATE PAGES, 11 X 8 AND 1/2 INCHES, LANDSCAPE. TAPE THEM TOGETHER AFTER PRINTING. IF PRINT IS TOO LIGHT, DARKEN IT TO DARK BLACK WITH A BLACK MARKER. 4 DIFFERENT COPIES ARE PROVIDED. IF THEY PRINT TOO SMALL OR LARGE; PLACE THEM IN A COPIER
AND USE THE ZOOM SETTING TO ENLARGE OR REDUCE THE LETTERS UNTIL ALL LETTERS ARE THE CORRECT EYECHART SIZE. SEE CORRECT SIZES LISTED BELOW. LETTERS ON THE CHARTS CAN BE REDUCED TO SMALL AND FINE PRINT FOR TESTING, IMPROVING CLOSE
VISION, READING DISTANCE, 3 FEET, 20, 10, 7, 6, 5... INCHES AWAY FROM THE EYES.
PICTURES
OF EYECHARTS ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE CAN BE COPIED BY; RIGHT CLICK THE PICTURE OF THE CHART AND SAVE TO MY PICTURES.
THE CHARTS CAN BE PRINTED FOR PRACTICE AT CLOSE DISTANCES. REDUCE OR ENLARGE THE CHART/LETTERS TO MEDIUM, SMALL
AND FINE PRINT TO TEST CLOSE VISION.
THE CHARTS CAN ALSO BE PRINTED WITH WHITE LETTERS ON A BLACK BACKGROUND.
WHITE LETTERS ARE EASY TO SEE AND RELAXING TO THE EYES.
MICROSOFT WORD CAN CONVERT A EYECHART TO WHITE LETTERS ON A
BLACK BACKGROUND.
THE
READER CAN ALSO USE THE CHARTS AS A IDENTICAL SMALL COPY OF THE BIG C CHART. KEEP THE IDENTICAL COPY AT A CLEAR CLOSE DISTANCE AND LOOK AT THE IDENTICAL CLEAR LETTERS TO STRENGTHEN
THE MEMORY, IMAGINATION OF THE SAME LETTER ON THE DISTANT CHART. IF YOU PREFER, PRINT THE CLOSE CHART THE SAME SIZE AS THE DISTANT CHART.
THE BIG C CHART IS THE EYECHART OPHTHALMOLOGIST BATES REFERS TO IN HIS BETTER EYESIGHT MAGAZINES.
THE LARGE BIG LETTER E AND C CHARTS ARE FOR TESTING DISTANT VISION.
PRINT THE CHART WITH
CORRECT LETTER SIZE; START WITH THE BIG LETTER E (OR BIG C )AT THE TOP OF THE
CHART - 20/200 LINE;
20/200 - 3 AND 1/2 INCH HIGH
20/100 - 1 AND 3/4 INCH
20/70 - 1 AND 1/4 INCH
ALL NUMBERS ABOVE 20/20 INDICATE VISION
20/50 - 7/8 INCH
LESS CLEAR THAN 20/20.
20/40 - 11/16 INCH
20/30 - 1/2 INCH
20/20 - 3/8
INCH ------------ NORMAL CLEAR VISION AT 20 FEET AWAY.
20/15 - 1/4 INCH ALL
NUMBERS BELOW 20/20 INDICATE CLEARER
20/10 - 3/16 INCH THAN
20/20.
20/5 - 3/32 INCH
20/4,3,2,1... LETTERS ARE SMALLER. VERY CLEAR VISION.
STANDING FARTHER WAY AND SEEING
THE LETTERS CLEAR, EXAMPLE 40/5; STANDING 40 FEET AWAY AND SEEING THE 20/5, 3/32 INCH LETTER AND/OR SMALLER LETTERS CLEAR
INDICATES VERY CLEAR VISION, MUCH CLEARER THAN 20/20.
 
PRACTICE
SHIFTING, CENTRAL FIXATION, SWITCHING CLOSE AND FAR ON THE EYEHARTS.
PRINT THE EYECHARTS.
MAKE TWO IDENTICAL COPIES OF THE CHART, PLACE THEM AT CLOSE AND FAR DISTANCES AND PRACTICE CORRECT VISION
HABITS ON THE CHARTS ONCE OR MORE PER DAY.
PRACTICE IN THE SUNLIGHT, SUN SHINING OVER THE SHOULDER ONTO THE CHARTS.
SHIFTING, SWITCHING ON THE TWO IDENTICAL CHARTS IMPROVES THE MEMORY, IMAGINATION, ABILITY TO REMEMBER, IMAGINE AND SEE THE
LETTERS CLEAR, IMPROVES THE BRAINS FUNCTION OF STORING CLEAR IMAGES OF OBJECTS IN THE MEMORY.
THE EYE CHARTS BECOME FAMILIAR OBJECTS.
FAMILIAR OBJECTS ARE RELAXING TO THE MIND, EYES AND ARE SEEN CLEAR.
WHEN A LETTER ON THE CHART IS SEEN CLEAR AT A SPECIFIC DISTANCE; ALL OBJECTS AT THAT DISTANCE ARE SEEN CLEAR.
PRACTICE CORRECT VISION HABITS #1 TO 8 ON TWO IDENTICAL EYE CHARTS;
ONE CHART IS PLACED AT
A CLOSE DISTANCE.
THE OTHER CHART IS PLACED AT A FAR DISTANCE. SEE DIAGRAM ON PAGE 1.
KEEP ONE CHART AT A
CLEAR DISTANCE.
WHEN LOOKING AT A CHART, PLACE THE CHART AT EYE LEVEL., DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH THE EYES, FACE.
THE LETTER THE EYES LOOK AT IS PLACED IN THE CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD;
BETWEEN THE EYES, AT EYE LEVEL.
THE FAR
CHART IS PLACED ABOUT 1 FOOT TO THE LEFT SO THE CLOSE CHART DOES NOT BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE FAR CHART.
WHEN LOOKING AT
A CHART, MAINTAIN CENTRAL FIXATION;
WHEN LOOKING AT THE CLOSE CHART - STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF IT.
WHEN LOOKING
AT THE FAR CHART - MOVE TO THE LEFT 1 FOOT AND STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF IT.
SEE DIAGRAM ON RIGHT.
SHIFT
ON LETTERS ON THE CLEAR AND UNCLEAR CHARTS AND REMEMBER, IMAGINE AND SEE THE LETTERS DARK BLACK AND CLEAR.
PRACTICE WITH
THE EYES OPEN, CLOSED, OPEN.
PRACTICE WITH BOTH EYES TOGETHER, THEN ONE EYE AT A TIME, THEN BOTH EYES TOGETHER AGAIN.
KEEP THE LETTER BETWEEN THE EYES, AT EYE LEVEL, CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD WHEN USING BOTH EYES TOGETHER AND WHEN USING
ONE EYE AT A TIME.
COVER THE EYE NOT IN USE WITH A EYE PATCH AND KEEP IT OPEN UNDER THE PATCH.
EXAMPLE;
PERSON NEEDS DISTANT VISION IMPROVEMENT.
PLACE ONE CHART AT A FAR, UNCLEAR DISTANCE.
PLACE THE OTHER IDENTICAL
CHART AT A CLEAR CLOSE DISTANCE.
LOOK AT THE LETTER E AT THE CLEAR CLOSE DISTANCE; SHIFT ON THE LETTER.
REMEMBER, IMAGINE, SEE IT DARK BLACK AND
PERFECTLY CLEAR.
DO THIS WITH THE EYES OPEN, THEN, IN THE IMAGINATION WITH THE EYES CLOSED, THEN WITH THE EYES OPEN AGAIN.
THEN; SWITCH TO THE UNCLEAR DISTANT CHART.
LOOK AT THE IDENTICAL LETTER E.
SHIFT ON THE E AND CONTINUE TO
REMEMBER, IMAGINE IT IS CLEAR.
PRACTICE WITH THE EYES OPEN, CLOSED, OPEN.
WITH PRACTICE THE DISTANT E WILL BE SEEN
CLEAR.
SWITCH BACK TO THE CLEAR CLOSE E.
REPEAT; SHIFT ON THE E.
REMEMBER, IMAGINE, SEE IT
DARK BLACK AND CLEAR.
PRACTICE WITH EYES OPEN, CLOSED, OPEN.
LOOKING AT THE CLEAR CLOSE E REINFORCES THE CLEAR IMAGE
OF THE E IN THE BRAIN/MEMORY AND HELPS THE BRAIN AND EYES WORK TOGETHER TO PRODUCE A CLEAR IMAGE OF THE E WHEN IT IS SEEN
AT THE FAR DISTANCE.
SWITCH BACK TO THE E AT THE FAR DISTANCE.
SHIFT ON IT, REMEMBER, IMAGINE AND SEE IT DARK
BLACK AND CLEAR.
BLINK, BREATHE, RELAX.
ALLOW THE EYES, HEAD/FACE, NECK AND BODY TO RELAX, MOVE FREELY WHEN LOOKING
AT THE LETTERS.
RELAXATION AND MOVEMENT BRING CLEAR VISION.
EYE, HEAD/FACE, NECK, BODY IMMOBILITY, TENSION,
STARING, SQUINTING, STRAINING, TRYING HARD TO SEE THE LETTERS CLEAR PRODUCES UNCLEAR VISION.
PRACTICE SWITCHING, SHIFTING
ON THE CLOSE AND FAR E'S WITH BOTH EYES TOGETHER, THEN ONE EYE AT A TIME, THEN BOTH EYES TOGETHER AGAIN FOR
PERFECT EQUALLY CLEAR 20/20 AND CLEARER VISION IN THE LEFT AND RIGHT EYES AT CLOSE AND FAR DISTANCES.
PRACTICE
ON OTHER LETTERS.
PRACTICE ON SMALLER LETTERS.
PRACTICE AT A VARIETY OF CLOSE, MIDDLE, FAR DISTANCES FOR CLEAR EYESIGHT
AT ALL DISTANCES.
PRACTICE ON TWO IDENTICAL FINE PRINT CHARTS WITH MEDIUM, SMALL, SMALLER, AND FINE PRINT SIZE LETTERS.
PLACE THE CHARTS AT TWO DIFFERENT CLOSE DISTANCES.
MEMORIZE THE LETTERS ON THE CHART.
MEMORIZING THE LETTERS CAUSES
THE CHART TO BECOME A FAMILIAR, OBJECT, SOMETHING THAT IS EASY TO SEE.
FAMILIAR OBJECTS RELAX THE MIND, EYES AND ACTIVATE
CLEAR EYESIGHT.
WHEN THE BRAIN MEMORIZES THE LETTERS, BECOMES FAMILIAR WITH THEM, THERE IS NOT ANY EFFORT TO SEE
THEM, MENTAL STRAIN AND EYESTRAIN ARE AVOIDED, THE MIND/BRAIN, EYE MUSCLES, EYES STAY RELAXED WHEN VIEWING THE CHART
AND THE LETTERS ARE SEEN CLEAR.
WHEN TAKING A EYE TEST AT THE EYE DOCTORS OFFICE, THE PATIENT IS OFTEN HURRIED, PRESSURED
TO SEE THE LETTERS ON A UNFAMILIAR EYE CHART CLEAR.
THIS CAUSES TEMPORARY MENTAL STRAIN, LEADS TO SQUINTING, STARING,
EFFORT TO SEE THE LETTERS.
THIS CAUSES TEMPORARY EYE MUSCLE TENSION WITH INCORRECT FOCUS OF LIGHT RAYS IN THE
EYE CAUSING TEMPORARY BLUR THAT RESULTS IN A UNNECESSARY PRESCRIPTION FOR EYEGLASSES AND OVER-CORRECTED LENSES
THAT ARE TOO STRONG AND CAUSE INCREASED EYE MUSCLE TENSION, MENTAL STRAIN, INCREASED BLUR AND FUTURE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR
STRONGER LENSES.
IF THE PATIENT KNEW THE LETTERS ON THE CHART AND WAS ALLOWED TO RELAX, AND USE CORRECT VISION HABITS;
SHIFTING, CENTRAL FIXATION... ON THE LETTERS; THE MIND, EYE MUSCLES, EYES WOULD REMAIN RELAXED, THE LETTERS WOULD BE SEEN
CLEAR AND THE EYEGLASS PRESCRIPTION WOULD BE AVOIDED.
PLACE A FAMILIAR EYECHART IN THE HOME, WORK, SCHOOL AND SHIFT
ON THE LETTERS OCCASIONALLY.
PRACTICE ALL CORRECT VISION HABITS ON THE LETTERS;
CENTRAL FIXATION; THE LETTER
THE EYES ARE LOOKING AT IS PLACED IN THE CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD; BETWEEN THE EYES, AT EYE LEVEL.
LOOK AT AND SEE
ONE LETTER DARKEST BLACK, CLEAREST AT A TIME IN THE CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD.
THE LETTER THE EYES ARE LOOKING AT IS
IN THE CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD AND IS CLEAREST.
OTHER LETTERS ON THE CHART AROUND THE LETTER ARE IN THE PERIPHERAL
FIELD AND ARE LESS CLEAR.
AVOID STARING, SQUINTING, TRYING HARD TO SEE LETTERS CLEAR.
WHEN LOOKING AT A LETTER;
SHIFT ON IT FROM SMALL PART TO SMALL PART.
SHIFT RELAXED, EASY, CONTINUALLY, RESTFUL.
SEE DOCTOR BATES DIRECTIONS
IN HIS ARTICLES IN THE CLOSE VISION CHAPTER; "THE MENACE OF LARGE PRINT" AND "THINK RIGHT".
SEE
THE 'ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT' ; THE LETTER APPEARS TO MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THE EYES MOVE TO, A
SMALL, QUICK MOVEMENT NO LARGER THAN THE SIZE OF THE LETTER.
DON'T SPEND A LONG TIME LOOKING AT A
LETTER.
SHIFT ON IT THEN MOVE/SHIFT TO A NEW LETTER.
BLINK, BREATHE ABDOMINALLY, RELAX.
SHIFT FROM LETTER TO
LETTER ON THE CHART.
THE EYES, HEAD/FACE, NECK AND BODY ARE RELAXED AND MOVE FREELY.
MOVE THE HEAD/FACE AND BODY
WITH THE EYES WHEN SHIFTING ON A LETTER AND FROM ONE LETTER TO ANOTHER.
WHEN MOVING TO A NEW LETTER, MOVE THE HEAD
/FACE, BODY WITH THE EYES AND LOOK/FACE DIRECTLY AT THE LETTER.
THE CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD IS CLEAREST.
THE
CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD MOVES WITH THE EYES, FROM LETTER TO LETTER, PLACING EACH LETTER THE EYES LOOK AT, ONE LETTER AT
A TIME, IN THE CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD, KEEPING EACH LETTER PERFECTLY CLEAR.
THE EXACT CENTER
OF THE VISUAL FIELD IS MOST CLEAR;
PLACE THE PART OF THE LETTER THE EYES LOOK AT IN THE EXACT CENTER OF
THE VISUAL FIELD.
SHIFT THE EYES FROM SMALL PART TO SMALL PART, MOVING THE SMALL EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD FROM
SMALL PART TO SMALL PART, SEEING ONE SMALL PART OF THE LETTER DARKEST BLACK, CLEAREST AT A TIME IN THE EXACT CENTER
OF THE VISUAL FIELD.
THE EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD; PRODUCED BY THE FOVEA CENTRALIS IN THE CENTER OF
THE MACULA IN THE CENTER OF THE EYES RETINA CAN BE SEEN/MEASURED BY LOOKING AT A CAPITOL LETTER E, 3/8" HIGH,
20/20 LINE OF THE DISTANT EYECHART, FROM 20 FEET AWAY.
WHEN LOOKING DIRECTLY AT THE E, THE E OCCUPIES SPACE IN THE
CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD PRODUCED BY THE MACULA AND FOVEA. WHEN LOOKING AT A SMALL PART OF THE E
, IN THE CENTER OF THE E, THAT SMALL PART IS IN THE EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD PRODUCED BY THE FOVEA.
LIGHT RAYS FROM THIS AREA FOCUS ON THE FOVEA.
LIGHT RAYS FROM OTHER AREAS OF THE CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD FOCUS ON
THE MACULA AROUND THE FOVEA.
LIGHT RAYS AWAY FROM THE E IN THE PERIPHERAL FIELD OF VISION FOCUS ON THE PERIPHERAL
FIELD OF THE RETINA AROUND/AWAY FROM THE FOVEA AND MACULA.
THE FOVEA PRODUCES THE CLEAREST VISION, CLEARER THAN 20/20,
THE MACULA PRODUCES VERY CLEAR VISION, CLEARER THAN 20/20, BUT NOT AS PERFECT AS THE FOVEA.
THE PERIPHERAL FIELD
OF THE RETINA PRODUCES LESS CLEAR VISION.
THE FAR OUTER PERIPHERAL FIELD IS THE MOST UNCLEAR.
SEE A LETTER
CLEAR BY PLACING IT IN THE CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD AND THEN;
USE THE EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD; PLACE ONE SMALL
PART OF THE LETTER AT A TIME IN THE EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD AND SEE IT DARKEST BLACK AND CLEAREST.
AVOID STARING;
ALWAYS SHIFT THE EYES TO PREVENT STARING, IMMOBILITY; SHIFT/MOVE THE EYES/VISUAL ATTENTION (EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD)
FROM SMALL PART TO SMALL PART ON THE LETTER;
TOP TO BOTTOM, SIDE TO SIDE, CORNER TO CORNER, MIDDLE; SHIFT FROM
SMALL PART TO SMALL PART IN ANY DIRECTION ON THE LETTER.
EXAMPLE; SHIFT FROM DOT TO DOT ON THE LETTER E.
SEE DIAGRAM TOP OF PAGE.
AS THE EYES /EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD MOVE FROM PART TO PART (DOT TO DOT); SEE EACH
PART, ONE SMALL PART (DOT) AT A TIME DARKEST BLACK, CLEAREST IN THE EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD.
THE ENTIRE VISUAL
FIELD MOVES WITH THE EYES AS THE EYES SHIFT FROM PART TO PART;
EXAMPLE;
LOOKING AT THE SMALL PART (DOT) IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE E.
THIS PART IS IN THE EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD AND IS DARKEST BLACK AND CLEAREST.
NOW;
SHIFT FROM THE SMALL PART IN THE MIDDLE OF THE E TO A SMALL PART (DOT) ON THE FAR EDGE OF THE TOP RIGHT SIDE.
THE
SMALL PART ON THE TOP RIGHT IS NOW IN THE EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD, ITS LIGHT RAY IS FOCUSING ON THE FOVEA AND
IT IS SEEN DARKEST BLACK AND CLEAREST.
SHIFT TO A NEW SMALL PART; THAT NEW PART IS NOW IN THE EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL
FIELD AND IS DARKEST BLACK AND CLEAREST.
THE EYES CAN SHIFT TO A NEW PART EACH SECOND, FRACTION OF A SECOND, BUT,
IN THAT SHORT TIME THAT A PART IS IN THE EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD, IT IS SEEN DARKEST BLACK AND CLEAREST.
THIS IS CENTRAL FIXATION.
WHEN THE EYES SEE THE AREA OF VISUAL ATTENTION WITH THE EXACT CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD,
CENTRAL FIXATION, THE EXACT CENTER IS VERY CLEAR, MUCH CLEARER THAN 20/20, AND THE OUTER CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD IS
ALSO VERY CLEAR, CLEARER THAN 20/20 AND THE  PERIPHERAL FIELD IS NORMALLY LESS CLEAR BUT IS AT ITS MAXIMUM CLARITY.
SEEING CLEAR WITH CENTRAL FIXATION IMPROVES
CLARITY AND FUNCTION OF THE ENTIRE VISUAL FIELD.
WHEN THE MIND, BODY, EYES ARE RELAXED THE LETTERS ARE CLEAR.
DO THE ROCK AND LONG SWING IN FRONT OF THE EYECHART AND DO NOT TRY TO SEE ANY LETTERS CLEAR.
JUST RELAX,
ROCK OR SWING LEFT AND RIGHT AND NOTICE THE SOOTHING OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE CHART;
WHEN THE EYES, HEAD/FACE, BODY
SWING LEFT;
THE CHART APPEARS TO MOVE RIGHT.
WHEN THE EYES, HEAD/FACE AND BODY SWING RIGHT;
THE CHART APPEARS
TO MOVE LEFT.
SEE CHAPTER 18 - ROCK, LONG SWING.
RELAX AND ROCK OR SWING LEFT AND RIGHT WITHOUT TRYING
TO SEE THE LETTERS.
THEN, STOP MOVING LEFT AND RIGHT.
LOOK AT THE CHART AND SHIFT ON A LETTER FOR A SECOND OR TWO.
SEE THE 'ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT'
OF THE LETTER WHEN THE EYES SHIFT ON IT;
+SHIFT FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LETTER TO THE RIGHT SIDE; THE LETTER APPEARS
TO MOVE TO THE LEFT.
+SHIFT RIGHT SIDE TO LEFT SIDE; THE LETTER APPEARS TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT.
SHIFT UP, DOWN, ANY
DIRECTION AND SEE THE LETTER APPEAR TO MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THE EYES/VISUAL ATTENTION MOVE TO.
PRACTICE SHIFTING
AND SEEING OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT ON LARGE, MEDIUM, SMALL AND FINE PRINT LETTERS AT CLOSE, MIDDLE AND FAR DISTANCES.
THE MOVEMENT OF THE LETTER IS SHORT, LESS THAN THE WIDTH OF THE LETTER.
BLINK AND RELAX.
SEEING OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT
OF THE LETTER RELAXES THE MIND AND EYES, IMPROVES THE CLARITY OF VISION.
PRACTICE SHIFTING ON THE LETTER AND SEEING THE
ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT WITH THE EYES OPEN, THEN IN THE IMAGINATION (USE MEMORY, IMAGINATION) WITH THE EYES CLOSED,
THEN WITH THE EYES OPEN AGAIN.
THE LONG SWING AND ROCK ARE LONGER MOVEMENTS OF THE EYES, HEAD/FACE, BODY AND PRODUCE
A LONGER APPEARANCE (SWING) OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT.
SHIFTING ON A LETTER PRODUCES A SMALLER OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT.
WITH PRACTICE, SMALLER SHIFTS, ON SMALL LETTERS, WITH A SMALL APPEARANCE OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE LETTER CAN BE DONE.
THIS PRODUCES VERY CLEAR VISION.
NEXT; RETURN TO THE ROCK OR LONG SWING.
THE ROCK, LONG SWING KEEPS
THE MIND, BODY, EYES RELAXED, KEEPS THE EYES SHIFTING AND VISION CLEAR.
STOP ROCKING, SWINGING LEFT AND RIGHT EVERY
ONCE IN A WHILE AND THEN, SHIFT ON THE LETTERS ON THE CHART AGAIN.
NOTICE THEY ARE SEEN CLEAR WHEN THE MIND/EYES ARE
RELAXED AND THERE IS NO EFFORT TO SEE.
THE ROCK CAN BE DONE WITH A SMALL MOVEMENT 1-2 INCHES LEFT AND RIGHT
WHEN SHIFTING ON THE LETTERS.
THE ROCK KEEPS THE EYES, HEAD/FACE, NECK, BODY RELAXED, MOVING WHEN LOOKING AT A LETTER.
THIS PREVENTS STARING AND BLUR. PRACTICE DR. BATES METHOD OF 'FLASHING'
THE LETTERS; LOOKING AT, SHIFTING ON A LETTER FOR ONLY A FRACTION OF A SECOND, THEN LOOKING AWAY TO A DIFFERENT LETTER OR
OBJECT, THEN RETURNING TO THE LETTER, THEN LOOKING AWAY, RETURNING, LOOKING AWAY...
THIS PREVENTS EFFORT TO SEE, PREVENTS
STRAIN AND BLUR.
THE NORMAL EYE MOVES CONTINUALLY, RESTFUL, SHIFTING EASY FROM POINT TO POINT.
PRACTICE PALMING,
COVERING THE EYES WHILE READING THE LETTERS ON THE CHART.
SEE PALMING CHAPTER 24.
+PALM FOR A WHILE AND RELAX.
+UNCOVER AND OPEN THE EYES AND LOOK AT A LETTER ON THE CHART.
+SHIFT ON THE LETTER FOR ONLY A SECOND OR FRACTION
OF A SECOND.
NO EFFORT TO SEE CLEAR.
+THEN COVER THE EYES AND PALM.
THINK PLEASANT THOUGHTS.
IF YOU LIKE
YOU CAN REMEMBER, IMAGINE SHIFTING ON THE LETTER AND SEE IT DARK BLACK AND CLEAR IN THE MIND.
SEE THE MENTAL PICTURE
OF THE LETTER SHOW OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT AS THE EYES SHIFT ON THE IMAGE OF THE LETTER.
+UNCOVER AND OPEN THE EYES AND
SHIFT ON THE LETTER AGAIN, FRACTION OF A SECOND.
+PALM AGAIN.
+REPEAT PALMING AND SHIFTING ON THE LETTER (FLASHING
THE LETTER) FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND.
THIS METHOD KEEPS THE EYES, MIND RELAXED, PREVENTS EFFORT TO SEE, MENTAL/VISUAL
STRAIN AND BLUR.
FLASHES OF CLEAR VISION WILL OCCUR.
WHEN RELAXATION OF MIND, EYES CONTINUES, THE VISION/LETTERS
REMAIN CLEAR.
