There are several names out there for a variety of visual conditions. A few examples are:
Astigmatism
Amblyopia
Far-sightedness
Near-sightedness
Strabismus
or have reading/ visual processing difficulty such as
Dyslexia
Alexia
Or people who cannot stay focused on a task such as ADHD.
Several visual conditions are developed over time or congenital, or after a serious brain injury such as a concussion or stroke.
If you are needing glasses as a tool to see better or if you are challenged by using your eyes everyday then your brain understanding of where you are in space in confusing.
Think of it as your brain has a “blurred vision map”, It has a difficult time to know how to use the eyes appropriately and cannot locate or process as efficiently as it could.
Having a “blurred visual map” can play a massive role in how you think, move, feel, behave, balance and of course see in your environment.
luckily, your brain loves to learn, it is adaptable and wants to add clarity to that once “blurred visual map”. You brain needs to know how to add clarity though.
That is why training your eyes, in specific movements, can add clarity to your “brain’s visual map” so that you will be able to think, move, feel, react, balance and see better in your environment.
The better you get at training these pathways the better you will become. You will be able to train these pathways to move very fast, making them energy cost efficient so that you will be able to perform at your favorite activity more efficient and have less moments of error or fatigue.
Side note – Even if you are experiencing pain at the moment – the better you are able to train your eyes, the more moments you will be without pain. I can explain this in a later post.
Caution – Training your vision can be both rewarding and impactful to your nervous system. Once you know how to train your eyes to make yourself see, feel and move better then there is no looking back 😉
