Question 1

Will the sessions involve any eye tests?

Accepted Answer

We sometimes work with printed home-made eye-charts to play with different techniques and see how they work at clearing up the vision, but we don't 'test' our eyes or dish out prescriptions.

Question 2

What kind of eyesight problems do these practises help with?

Accepted Answer

The practices have been known to help with almost all functional vision problems and in many cases can completely reverse poor vision with consistent correct practice.

Question 3

How long will it take to improve my vision?

Accepted Answer

There is no set time that every individual can expect to practice for to achieve results and/or perfect vision. Everyone is different, has a different mind, set of eyes and lifestyle which will affect how long things take. A curious, playful mindset works better than a rigid, goal oriented one.

Question 4

What if I don't want to remove my glasses/lenses?

Accepted Answer

This is completely up to you. The reason we try to work without corrective lenses during practice is so our eyes can interact with the world without an intermediary. It's possible to practice with glasses or lenses but there will be less "wiggle room" for the eyes to adapt to new habits.

Question 5

How does this method work?

Accepted Answer

The practices help to restore dynamic relaxation to the eyes and mind. When the mind is relaxed and receptive, the vision works better, as our vision is directly related to our state of mind. When the eyes are relaxed, they can move more freely and our minds can percieve light more clearly.

Question 6

What if I need to wear my glasses for work/driving etc?

Accepted Answer

That's totally fine! Ultimately, it's up to you when and where you feel comfortable without glasses, and when you feel you really need them. Some people experiment with using reduced prescriptions (0.5 or so less than your usual) to be able to use improvement techniques while wearing glasses/lenses.

Question 7

Is this a certified therapy session?

Accepted Answer

No. These are group support session where the facilitator shares their knowledge and we practice and discuss together. Others are also welcome to share what is working for them and lead a co-practice too. There are certified vision educators are out there if you want to work with one as well.

Question 8

Is the practice difficult?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't be. Humans can make anything difficult if we try hard enough.At all stages of vision improvement, however, we are practicing ways to eliminate strain and tension. The practices should feel relaxing and playful.

Question 9

How do I know if this is the right thing for me?

Accepted Answer

If you are curious and open minded, and are willing to believe and trust the capacity of your body to heal, and are willing to commit to doing a little practice, integration and lifestyle change on a regular basis, then this is right for you.

Question 10

How will I know if this is not right for me?

Accepted Answer

If you want a quick fix and/or are not willing to challenge deeply ingrained habits and beliefs you have, or take responsibility for your own health. Also, if you have a vision problem resulting from severe injury (i.e. detached retina or optic nerve etc.) this may not be right for you.
