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.
Place the Snellen eye testing card at 20 feet (6 metres) distance in good light at the level of the eyes. Read the chart with each eye separately, one eye being covered with the palm of the hand, avoiding any pressure upon the eyeball. The vision is expressed in the form of a fraction, the numerator of which corresponds to the number of feet separating the patient from the chart, and the denominator to the number written on the line read. If the sight is normal, the vision will be equal to 20/20 or 6/6. This is expressed: D.V. (Distant Vision) 20/20. If one reads the 20 feet line of the chart with the right eye and the thirty feet line with the left eye, then write R. E. 20/20; L. E. 20/30. If the sight is being tested at 10 feet, then the numerator will be 10.
