Previous Question: What is the Bates Method about?
      Central Fixation  
      Central Fixation means that you see best the thing that you are looking at.

For this to happen the eye needs to be able to clearly distinguish the centre from the periphery. For this to happen the eye muscles need to be able to move freely and sensitively.

For this to happen, the eye muscles and all other parts of the visual system need to be relaxed.
