Yoga of Perfect Sight

Seven truths of normal sight

1. Normal sight can always be demonstrated in the normal eye, but only under favourable conditions.

2. Central Fixation: The letter or part of the letter regarded is always seen best.

3. Shifting: The point regarded changes rapidly and continuously.

4. Swinging: When the shifting is slow, the letters appear to move from side to side, or in other directions with a pendulum-like motion.

5. Memory is Perfect: The colour and background of the letters or other objects seen are remembered perfectly, instantaneously and continuously.

6. Imagination is Good: One may even see the white part of letters whiter than it really is, while the black is not altered by distance, illumination, size, or form of the letters.

7. Rest or Relaxation of The Eye And Mind is perfect and can always be demonstrated.

When one of these seven fundamentals is perfect, all are perfect.

When the sight is imperfect, these facts are not observed or are partially observed. If somehow they can be produced in the defective eye, the sight would become normal and this suggests the cure. If one is able to observe them perfectly at 3 ft. the sight is normal at 3 ft., and if one is able to note at 20 ft., the sight is normal at 20 ft., and so on.
