How to Demonstrate the Fundamental Principle of Treatment
———
The object of all the methods used in the treatment of imperfect
sight without glasses is to secure rest or relaxation, of the mind
first and then of the eyes. Rest always improves improves the vision.
Effort always lowers it. Persons who wish to improve their vision
should begin by demonstrating these facts.
Close the eyes and keep them closed for fifteen minutes. Think of
nothing in particular, or think of something pleasant. When the eyes
are opened, it will usually be found that the vision has improved
temporarily. If it has not, it will be because, while the eyes were
closed, the mind was not at rest.
One symptom of strain is a twitching of the eyelids which can be
seen by an observer and felt by the patient with the fingers. This can
usually be corrected if the period of rest is long enough.
Many persons fail to secure temporary improvement of vision by
closing their eyes, because they do not keep them closed long enough.
Children will seldom do this unless a grown person stands by and
encourages them. Many adults also require supervision.
To demonstrate that strain lowers the vision, think of something
disagreeable—some physical discomfort, or something seen imperfectly.
When the eyes are opened, it will be found that the vision has been
lowered. Also, stare at one part of a letter on the test card, or try
to see the whole letter all alike at one time. This invariably lowers
the vision, and may cause the letters to disappear.
