Eyesight is perfect when you see things dead on most
clearly. This is called Center Fixation
and means whatever you see in the center of your vision is what you see the
best. Perfect eyesight works when you look at things straight on and don’t have
to move your head or eyes to the side to focus.
When your vision is off, you actually look at the side of an
object to see it clearly. Test this theory and see where you currently stand.
Find a piece of paper with small print on it. Look at the words straight on and
then turn your head to the side until you can read the print. Move your head
one way and then the other until you find the best position for reading the
print perfectly. Are you straight on or to the side?
The retina is located in the center of the eye and is full
of small light sensing rods. This area is called the fovea centralis and is the
area of the eye created to have the best line of vision. If you are tilting
your head to the side to see properly, the fovea centralis is not working
correctly. The fovea centralis may
actually even be turned off. As a defense against outside dangers or stress,
this area can shut down to protect itself. If it is turned off, your vision
will not be as perfect as it can be.
Vision can be affected by our feelings and emotion. Center
fixation can be off because of negative feelings inside our minds. Negative
memories, experiences, or people can force our eyes to turn away and avoid head
on contact. A lot of vision problems are ‘all in our heads’. Learning to deal
with tough situations in a relaxed way can be difficult, but it’s necessary for
good vision. Every situation should be looked at and dealt with head on, not
with a turned away from.
Simply learning how the eyes work can help us to use them
properly. Training the eyes to focus on things straight on will help avoid
strain and keep them relaxed.
