| Strain and Relaxation | ||||
| If
you strain to see, the eye muscles become tense, the eye
does not move freely and the retina becomes desensitised.
In the early stages of a visual problem, it may be quite
easy to let go of the strain: if it has become a habit
over years it may be very difficult to let go. That is
why so many optometrists believe that the eye is fixed
and vision does not change. Relaxation of the eyes does not mean vaguely staring into space: it means using the eyes properly, looking at everything in detail and with full attention, but without strain. People who see normally do this as a matter of course: people who have had trouble seeing for years may find it quite difficult to learn. |
