Insightful Guide to Natural Eyesight Improvement
I recently finished listening to "The Art of Seeing" by Aldous Huxley, and I found it to be a valuable resource for anyone interested in naturally improving their eyesight. Based on the Bates method, the book offers creative exercises like using dominoes and dice, which add a fresh perspective to familiar techniques.Despite its formal style, which reflects its original publication in 1942, the book provides practical insights into eye exercises, such as "flashing," a technique where you quickly glance at an object and then look away to test your memory. I'm intrigued by the idea of using dominoes for vision exercises and plan to give it a try.Listening to the audiobook straight through wasn't the ideal way to absorb the content, as it's more akin to a manual best used for reference. Therefore, I'm considering purchasing the e-book version for easier navigation. One aspect I appreciated was the discussion on lumens and the impact of lighting on eye health. I immediately downloaded a light meter app and was surprised to learn that I was probably straining my eyes by working in an office with minimal lighting. Learning about photophobia, the fear of bright light, prompted me to improve the lighting in my workspace, enhancing my workspace.Overall, "The Art of Seeing" is a valuable addition to the collection of anyone interested in natural eyesight improvement. It offers reinforcement of familiar techniques such as “swinging” and introduces new exercises, making it a worthwhile read for those seeking to enhance their vision health.
