Focusing Your Way to Perfect Vision
Is your life busy? Are you multi-tasking a lot? If so, you're probably breaking one of the natural vision improvement principle.

If you often multi-task, there's a good chance you're also multi-tasking with your eyes. You probably look at more than one thing at a time... and looking at more than one thing at a time places unnecessary strain on your eyes.

Try this. Get two pebbles and place them about 20 inches apart. Ask a friend of yours who have perfect vision to look at pebble A. Then ask him/her if he/she can look at pebble B. Their answer is probably not. That's because our eyes are meant to look at just one thing at a time.

I remember an incident whereby a basketball player friend of mine came to me saying how he wish he can see "more things at once". That way he can then know when an opponent sneaks up on him. He had perfect vision, but as soon as he tried to see "more", his eyesight deteriorated.

Of course, at the time I didn't know about that principle of focus or I'd have warned him.

So what can you do to focus your sight? All you have to do is do the exercise I mentioned above. At your first try, you probably can clearly see both pebbles. Try to look at one only.

Remember, don't stare. Blink often and take deep breaths. This exercise is not meant to encourage you to place more effort into seeing. It's meant to remind you how your eyes used to work.
