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.
The efficiency of the method of treating myopia and other visual defects by eye education is so great that I am constantly hearing of patients who have been able to improve their eyesight by the aid of information contained in my publications, without personal assistance. The writer of the following letter, a lady from Bombay, is a remarkable example of these cases:
"I acquired shortsightedness in school, possibly due to improper way of seeing, posture and light and the power of glasses gradually increased to -3.0 in both eyes with years. After twelve years of living with glasses I found the spectacles most irksome. Then at the prompting of a friend I started practising eye exercises from Dr. Agarwal's book. This helped me to discard glasses totally within nine months. In my last visit to the Eye Doctor, he advised me to discard my glasses since my eyesight was normal. As I was prone to headaches without glasses I was wearing plain glasses for about three months but after that I learnt to live without glasses. I am forty years of age today and still enjoy normal vision."
