Do you have a philosophical vision?
And a scientific one?
And a poetic one?
Don't you ever wonder how magical our senses are?
I do.
I do wonder.
And do so the most about eyevision, the mother of them all!
Let me tell you why...
Alternative vision research has indicated that central fixation of the eye means central fixation of the mind. It means, therefore, health in all parts of the body!
The science named ophthalmology tells how the eye works through receiving the images of the outside world and transmitting them to the mind (or the brain?).

The action of seeing is passive and when it is so, it ensures a clear eyesight without a single trace of any optical illusions or eye illusions of any sort requiring any kind of eye tricks in order to see clear.

When the image of the object, through the lens system, reaches the mind - just like it reaches the photographic plate through its lenses in a camera; the mind's eye interprets it in its own way not necessarily as per its objective reality.

We have two eyes that receive two different images of one single object but the mind fuses them into one single image again. This is called stereopsis.

Extrinsic muscles of the eye cause various kinds of eye movement, that are required to be made in our daily routine while working with the eyes.

The presence of cones along with rods in the retina is responsible for the color eyevision of the human eye. Animal vision is not always essentially color and may be black and white too. How colorful is color perception eyevision! Watching a black and white TV is so boring, isn't it?

Looking at an object, we usually can estimate roughly, how far the object is situated. This is called depth perception.

As far as eyesight care is concerned, taking care of its acuity is an art as well as a science, which can easily be learnt through vision therapy. If it is successfully done so, even aging and eyesight stop having any connection with old age sight!
