Vision: Ophthalmology - How The Eye Works

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?).

Such a visual perception is an automatic process as requires no effort to see. 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.

There are wonderful sets of collections of pictures with the names of magic eye, eye teasers, stereograms, eye tricks, optical illusions, eye illusions that test your mind's eye vis-a-vis your brain's eye.

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!

Vision Therapy: Instant Vision Correction through Chakra Opening

Vision therapy not only does instant vision correction but also heals eye diseases by opening the third eye chakra, imparting overall health to the body and to the mind through an on-off switch in the body which, in fact, is the real mind body connection.

I did it to myself the very first.

And the very first time it happened to me, it was purely accidental in itself.

Later I went into it trying to assimilate - apprehend, comprehend and systematize - the whole experience turning it into an objective procedure of vision therapy, imparting the same results every time and with every person whosoever.

It was not an easy task to do. I was groping in the pitch dark.

The only torch I had in my hands was my accidental experience with my own body, which I had to make into a scientific system of vision therapy for the human body.

No, I had one more torch with me.

It was the scientific study of the errors of refraction in the eyes and their correction by Dr. W.H.Bates - an American ophthalmologist - almost a hundred years ago!

He did his vision therapy the way of a genius and treated thousands of patients in his lifetime, but failed to make it an objectively repeatable performance in practice in a fixed duration time frame.

His theory of accommodation as different from that of the German classical ophthalmology, although revolutionary in content as well as fully supported by intensive and extensive experimentation, could not get its due recognition but for one reason only.

The reason was the abstract nature of his method of vision therapy that gave more credence to the mental strain and relaxation than to the physical.

Body is a concrete phenomenon but the mind is an abstract entity.

So the results of his vision therapy took a lot of time and that too, not always reproducible the same way.

This is the reason that it was not every single time that his vision therapy was carried on equally successfully!

I worked with the concrete muscular stress in the body and the physical relaxation of that concrete muscular stress in order to see clear instantaneously. That is what the mind body connection is!

In the course of my research on vision therapy, I had to work with chakras also. And here too, the story was the same. The spiritual tradition had worked on them at the abstract mental and the metaphysical planes more than at the concrete physical one. I had to discover another mind body connection here too!

The mind (psychology) and the metaphysics (spirituality), both having their roots in the body (biology)!

The body obeys the laws of physics, which is the most concrete of all the sciences. And the results of this obedience are repeatable in vision therapy every time with every person whosoever!

And it is instant!

And not only instant, it delivers more than was asked for. This vision therapy not only corrects vision but also heals many other diseases in the body as well as in the mind!

In the words of Dr. Bates:

"Not only do all errors of refraction and all functional disturbances of the eye disappear when it sees by central fixation, but many organic conditions are relieved or cured."

"I am unable to set any limits to its possibilities. I would not have ventured to predict that glaucoma, incipient cataract and syphilitic iritis could be cured by central fixation; but It is a fact that these conditions have disappeared when central fixation was attained."

"Relief was often obtained in a few minutes, and, in rare cases, this relief was permanent."

"Usually, however, a permanent cure required more prolonged treatment."

"Inflammatory conditions of all kinds, including inflammation of the cornea, iris, conjunctiva, the various coats of the eyeball and even the optic nerve itself, have been benefited by central fixation after other methods had failed."

"Infections, as well as diseases caused by protein poisoning and the poisons of typhoid fever, influenza, syphilis and gonorrhea, have also been benefited by it. Even with a foreign body in the eye there is no redness and no pain so long as central fixation is retained."

"Since central fixation is impossible without mental control, central fixation of the eye means central fixation of the mind."

"It means, therefore, health in all parts of the body, for all the operations of the physical mechanism depend upon the mind. Not only the sight, but all the other senses - touch, taste, hearing and smell - are benefited by central fixation."

"All the vital processes - digestion, assimilation, elimination, etc. - are improved by it."

"The symptoms of functional and organic diseases are relieved. The efficiency of the mind is enormously increased."

"The benefits of central fixation already observed are, in short, so great that the subject merits further investigation."

Amblyopia: The Lazy Eye

Amblyopia or the lazy eye is something mysterious in its nature.

Like allergy is to medicine, same way amblyopia is to ophthalmology - both idiopathic in nature.

They don't tell you their reason, and always keep you in the dark as to why they are what they are, in the very first place!

Lazy eye lowers the vision, mostly in one eye out of the two.

There is no clear-cut reason as to why it should have been so.

It's not even correctable by glasses, contact lenses or LASIK eye surgery.

There is no error of refraction present in amblyopia. It's only that the images received by the retina are not being transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve in their full brightness.

Why should it happen so?

We will have to see things in a different light for that.

Why do we start sensing less - anything, for that matter?

For example, why do we start feeling less hot or less cold?

Why do some people make their fingers so insensitive that they can pick the boiling tea pan on its metallic part from the gas burner and put it down on the slab without any obvious difficulty?

Why do we stop feeling the pressure of urinating for hours together in our busy city lives?

In fact, our mind - in conjunction with our body through its rigid musculature - conspires to keep a few chosen sensations unconscious and hence never perceives them; or perceives them less.

It's so true of sex which the religious people really start perceiving less and less with the passage of time. Even we never go mad in lovemaking because we never fully feel the touch of our partner's body. In fact, the major part of our moves in the bed is all calculated and well thought over beforehand!

If you don't use a thing, it will start losing its capacity to be used with the passage of time, although nothing has gone wrong with its structure!

The function turns into dysfunction.

Amblyopia is simply a function turned into dysfunction owing to less use of it.

So, the only solution is to use it now!

Just do it!

And it will be done!!

But we do not know how to use it now.

We have forgotten.

We have lost the lifeforce inside that makes us see colors as bright as they really are, the chilly as hot as it really is, the bitter-gourd as bitter as it really is, and the rose as fragrant as it really is!

How can we get it back? Can we?

Third eye opening does just that only. Vision therapy trains eyes to train mind through mind body connection; that is simply an on-off switch we have to clean up of its rust and just put it on!

Once for all, and the amblyopia is gone too!

Eye Care Insurance

Although it is without a doubt imperative to have healthy eyes, it may or may not be critical to have vision insurance. Many insurance shoppers overvalue this insurance and pay too much for it.

To know whether you a dollars worth of coverage for every dollar spent when you pay for vision coverage, it is crucial to know what vision or eye insurance covers and what it doesn't cover. Having a good understanding of the limitations of eye insurance is necessary to determine whether you should pay extra for the coverage.

You will want to know what the extra coverage will include. Vision or eye insurance covers expenses that are associated with corrective lenses. Typically eye or vision coverage will cover an eye exam. It may also cover part of the cost of contacts or glasses.

It is also important to know what it doesn’t cover. optical insurance does not cover the medical expenses associated with eye trauma or diseases that impact the eye. Medical insurance will usually cover these medical costs.

Your vision or eye coverage nor your medical coverage is likely to include coverage for laser eye surgery. Surgery to improve vision is usually specifically excluded by health insurance policies. This is different from surgery to restore vision.

The typical health insurance policy will not include coverage for corrective lenses. Typical health insurance policies don't cover for the eye exams you will need to buy corrective lenses. Corrective lenses can be either prescription contact lenses or prescription glasses.

Costs associated with eye trauma and organic diseases that affect the eye are still paid for as part of the medical benefit. A separate eye care insurance rider is not necessary to have an eye injury covered. Many consumers pay extra for vision or eye coverage because they assume that their medical insurance policy will not cover anything associated with vision.

When looking at medical coverage policies that include eye coverage, be sure to see how what is and isn't included in the coverage. Since some vision insurance policies will cover the exam only, those policies are less valuable than policies that will not only cover the examination but will also pay towards glasses.

Another issue to consider is the availability of eye care professionals. Most insurance policies will limit the places you can go to have your eye examination to network providers. You should make sure that there are eye care professionals near you and that you will feel comfortable using those opticians or optometrists.

There is no point in paying extra for eye care coverage only to find that none of the in network providers are ones you can or want to use. Often consumers will routinely check to make sure that their doctors are in the network, but will forget to check for dentists and optometrists.

Knowing the value of your coverage is essential if you are going to make the right choice. If the eye care coverage only includes an annual examination, you should call an eye doctor and determine the fee for an eye examination. If the policy also pays something toward prescription glasses you should add that to the cost of the examination. Multiply the cost by the number of family members that will be covered. Then divide that cost by 12 of your policy premiums are being paid monthly. This will allow you to properly compare your cost of having eye or vision coverage with the extra cost for the coverage.

Eye or vision coverage is often worth the additional costs, but often it won't be. Sometimes consumers will compare different plans that are otherwise the same and choose the one that has eye or vision coverage without the weighing the costs verses the benefits. You now know how to look at the policies like a professional would and only pay extra if the extra coverage is worth the extra price.

The effects of smoking on the retina are dévastateur.La retina is particularly susceptible to oxidative stress.Smoking adds to the stress and accelerates the degeneration of the macular pigment and the development of degeneration maculaire.Si you smoke, your macular pigment is only half as heavy as that of a nonsmoker.
Smoking decreased levels of carotenoids in the blood, even after adjusting for differences in diet.Smoking increased oxidative stress, plasma antioxidant reduced and increases the risk of disease.The vascular adverse effects of smoking on the vision are cumulative and not direct REVERSIBLE.A relationship was found between the impact of age, macular degeneration the number of years, a person has smoked and the number of cigarettes smoked per day.People living with a smoker have a slightly higher that persons who do not smoke or live with a smoker.Nonsmokers on twice the macular pigment density levels of macular pigment smokers.Low contribute to an increased risk of developing smokers.Smokers MD risk have also tended to eat more than fat than nonsmokers, but predominantly males compared to this correlation study. Exposure to light in an environment rich in fatty acids makes the cells in the retina particularly prone to oxidative stress.
The best way to reduce the risk of Visual loss of macular degeneration and cataracts is to quit now.
