Rationale

This is an exercise to promote correct use of the eye. More accurately, it should be named “vision habit” for the simple reason that you do this “exercise” throughout the day, not just during the session.

According to the structure of the eye, there is a small point known as the fovea centralis . This is where vision is sharpest: in the middle of the visual field straight in front of you.

By centralisation, one should focus one’s visual attention at a single point in front of you. When looking at an object for example, look at it part by part; bit by bit.

Trying to see the entire scene clearly simultaneously is going beyond the limitations of the physical eye, thus creating strain, which is suposedly the root cause of bad eyesight.

How to do centralisation

Now, let’s try a simple exercise using the below photo of a peacock’s tail:

Focus at a single “eye”, seeing only that one very clear and bright. Let all the other “eyes” become dull and soft. Move your gaze gently around the bright shining “eye”.

When you have accomplished this, focus on a different “eye”. Now, this will become bright and colourful while others become dull (including the first eye you looked at initially).

Have you tried the exercise? The experience of seeing only the central part of the visual field clearly is called “centralisation”.

Apply what you have learnt here to all waking hours. Make it a habit and encourage correct use of the eyes: an important part of vision improvement.
