The Universal Swing - To Relax the Eyes as Part of Natural Vision Improvment
In order to relax your eyes, try swinging your head from side to side. Gently! The effect that you are trying to get is that whichever way your head is turning, the world around you looks like it is going the opposite way. This was called the 'universal swing' by Doctor Bates. He was an early 20th century ophthalmologist. Dr Bates supposedly helped many people get rid of their eyeglasses and see 20/20 or better again. Today, this type of thing is called Natural Vision Improvement. One of the techniques that Dr. Bates utilized was the above mentioned 'universal swing' . However, it wasn't the only technique by far. He talked about palming, breathing, centralization and brushing as well. My understanding from reading his book, The Bates Method, is that we have learned to use the eyes improperly and Dr. Bates helped people how to use their eyes properly again. This took away the strain and allowed people to see 20/20 again. It was also hinted that it is possible to see even better than 20/20. Dr Bates felt that the real reason people had vision problems was that they had what he termed 'mental strain'. One of the key concepts I got from his book was that the eyes are actually at rest when in motion and actually strained when not in motion. The 'universal swing' can help us to remind our bodies how the eyes should be functioning. Try it, I think you will notice a difference very quickly. Dr. Bates' book is about improving your eyesight naturally - The Bates Method This article is for information purposes only, consult with your eye doctor to see if this is right for you.
