Improving vision involves root cause identification and holistic healing methods, not just symptomatic treatments like glasses or surgery.
Maintaining balanced vision between both eyes is crucial for clear eyesight, as tested by simple fusion exercises like the two fingers and beads test.
Engaging in creative visualization exercises and favoring paper book reading over screens can enhance vision clarity and reduce eye strain.

Enhancing Vision through Relaxation and Movement
Improving vision is closely linked to relaxation and movement. Our eyes function best when we are in a relaxed state, activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Techniques like palming, where you cover your eyes with warm hands, help rejuvenate the eyes. The Bates method emphasizes small eye movements, like saccadic eye movements and the swing exercise, to strengthen eye coordination and focus. Addressing stress and promoting a relaxed state is crucial for optimal vision.
Testing Eye Fusion with Two Fingers and Beads on a String
An informative way to test eye fusion, essential for clear vision, is by using two fingers and beads on a string. By focusing on different points and observing the number of images seen, one can determine the strength of eye fusion. This simple exercise highlights the importance of maintaining balanced vision between both eyes.
Importance of Imagery and Memory in Vision Improvement
Memory and imagination play a significant role in enhancing vision. Visualizing clear images, like a black period or a remembered clear letter, helps stimulate the brain's vision centers. Practicing creative visualization exercises, such as imagining clear visuals, aids in reinforcing the brain's ability to perceive clarity.
Book Reading vs. Screen Reading for Optimal Eye Health
Reading from a book is preferable over reading from a screen for eye health. Books provide a reflected surface that is easier on the eyes compared to backlit screens. The specific distance from a book allows for targeted eye movement practice, unlike screen reading, which can strain the eyes due to the artificial 3D effect and flat screen nature. Opting for book reading over screen reading can reduce eye fatigue and promote better eye health.
Reading habits for eye health and using paper books over ebooks
Using paper books over ebooks is better for eye health as it reduces exposure to screens. Additionally, reading small print can actually be beneficial as it requires relaxation of the eyes, promoting healthier vision. It is recommended to avoid straining the eyes with excessively bright screens or large text sizes, and instead opt for softer lighting and smaller print to encourage better eye habits.
Vision improvement through movement and activities like juggling and ball games
Engaging in physical activities such as juggling, playing ball games, and using balance boards can enhance vision and eye health. These activities promote hand-eye coordination, peripheral awareness, and relaxation, which are beneficial for overall vision improvement. Incorporating movement and balance exercises into daily routines can positively impact visual performance, making them valuable additions to eye health practices.
IN THIS “BEST OF” EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… natural vision expert Claudia Muehlenweg explains how you can take better care of your eyes and improve your vision.
Her work is based in the Bates Method. She focuses on finding the root cause of blurry vision instead of using symptomatic treatments like glasses, contacts or surgery that actually can make eyesight worse in the long term.
For nearly 15 years, Claudia’s taught eyesight improvement for presbyopia, myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia, strabismus, convergence insufficiency, and eye diseases such as cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma. She also helps people restore clarity after corrective surgeries like LASIK have worn off.
Claudia starts with root causes in your body, including nervous system regulation. She then brings in bodywork, breathwork, rest, light and movement healing methods. Listen on to get practical solutions and essential Dos and Don’ts for good eyesight.
