This is part 3 of my series on natural vision correction.  If you haven’t read the first two parts, please read them via the links below before reading this post.

Vision Correction Without Lasik: Exercise Your Eyes

Two Principles of Vision Correction without Lasik

A good place to start with this 3rd lesson is to think about all the reasons you want to dispose of your glasses or contacts.

In my case I had both, so I had my own list.  The more reasons you have, the more you will stick by hopefully these processes.

This is all basic goal setting anyway. You can apply this technique to motivate yourself to work any goal you want. Simply come up with a long list of reasons why you want it.
So what I would like you to do is to make a list of all of the reasons that you want to improve your vision.

• Do you hate the weight of your glasses on your face?
• Do you hate the way contacts feel, especially when they get grit under them?
• Do you think you will look better?
• Are you tired of keeping up with your glasses?
• Maybe you want to be a commercial airline pilot?

Come up with a long list of at least 20 reasons.  Once you have the list, put it in some prominent location such as your bathroom mirror.   Review it often.  It can help motivate you to keep with the exercises.

Exercise #1 Palming

Now we get into the physical exercises for eye correction.

We’ll start with probably the most important method in your arsenal.  You need to stick with this above all the other exercises.  

It’s effects are relaxing and balancing to your eyes and attitude.  In fact, this provides the highest likelihood for “clear patches” of clear vision.  The more of these patches you get, the easier it is for you to make seeing clearly full time.

The Palming Concept 

Palming is a way for you to relax your eyes and allow them to naturally go back into focus. What we want to do is commit to doing at least five minutes of palming a day make it longer if you can.
You can do this exercise at any time of day, but here are some guidelines:
When you are feeling stress or pain in your eyes, try palming. You can also do it after you’ve been staring at a computer screen for an hour. Try it before or after reading so you can “tune up your vision for reading”.

So what exactly is palming?

Here is a video I just put up on YouTube that shows you exactly how to do it.

But for those of you who prefer to read instructions, here is the method:

First to rub your hands together vigorously until they become warm. Then simply place your palms over your eyes where the flattest part of your Palm is over your eyelids while your eyes are closed.

There should be no pressure on your eyes at all. The goal here is to simply and gently relax your eyes. Hold your palms over your eyes for at least one minute. Then, you can go back to warming your hands and palming again.  Remain calm and relaxed, don’t strain. Do this for a minute or two and then look off into the distance.  

Do you notice that your vision is clearer after palming?

Remember to practice palming several times a day for at least a total of 5 minutes a day.
