A manual on the natural care of the eye with exercises to improve eyesight & treat various eye disorders. Also includes letters by Sri Aurobindo on yogic vision
This book, which is a comprehensive manual on the natural care of the eye, starts from the concept that eyesight is intricately connected to the mind and explains how good habits of eye care and mental relaxation can keep the eyes rested and refreshed. It then suggests simple but effective exercises to improve eyesight and treat various eye disorders. There are also chapters on the discoveries of Dr W. H. Bates and the physiology of the eye, as well as case histories, question-and-answer sections, and some letters by Sri Aurobindo on eyesight and yogic vision.
When a person presents himself for treatment, a record of his name, age and address is to be made. Then one hears the history and complaints of the patient and if necessary puts him a few questions. The next procedure is to test the distant vision on the Snellen test card without and with glasses. Then the near sight is tested on the reading test type without and with glasses. Such records of eyesight are to be made from time to time during the course of the treatment. They give information of the improvement achieved. In some cases improvement is so unconscious that the patient feels no improvement unless the records of vision are compared before him.
