Vision improvement fun...

Vision is closely related to photography and I agree that a "good eye" is necessary, but so far I got away with just how I am used to be seeing things.

Our brain is a truly miraculous feature in the way it adapts to all kinds of lazy nonsense we humans accept as norm of our existence.

The fact that I don't have a perfect vision doesn't mean I can't see stuff crucial to my survival or passion. So - I'd have to sit closer on lectures, or examine art at closer distance. Things I couldn't see I decided weren't important enough to see. The rest - brain would figure out.

I'm doing the Norbekov program entirely for fun. The added benefit is that I might get rid of the "must wear corrective lenses" on the back of my driver's license. I also think it is crucial to the success of the experiment - to be emotionally detached from the outcome.

Today I scheduled my first appointment to get specific (and current) numbers on my eye sight. It's next week, but it doesn't mean I am going to stop with exercises. Wasn't too consistent anyway.

Also, today I noticed an interesting effect while I was doing my favorite exercise - walking around outside, with a happy heart, looking at things that are usually blurry, and imagining that I'm seeing them clearly, and watching them become sharper. I noticed the 3D effect which a good lens gives you. This depth to the scene - wow, I was fascinated. I didn't think even for one second that our eyes do the same thing as lenses. Just never bothered stretching the muscle and finding out!

How lazy one can be, huh?

So this is what's new.

Staring at the chart while doing the same thing also works and gets better every time. Only it's super boring and I almost never remember to do it. Lucky for me - Norbekov recommends using the chart only for a couple first times in the program. Then he insists on moving on to real life.

Other exercises are much more like traditional eye training, so I try to create and maintain a routine of doing them before I meditate. If I go and meditate that night that is.
