This information is taken from a book called " Better eyesight without glasses" by William.H.Bates.
_______________________
PALMING - 3-5 times for 5minutes.
The eyes are gently closed and covered with the palms in such a way that all light is excluded and no pressure is applied to the eyeballs.
· The heels of the hands rest lightly on the cheekbones and the fingers on the forehead.
· Palming is usually done while seated.
· The elbows should be supported, either on a table in front of you or on a thick cushion or two in your lap.
· While palming you should feel entirely comfortable, safe and warm. Choose if you can a quiet time and a place where you are not likely to be disturbed.
· Become conscious of and do your best to relax any undue tension in the muscles of your face, neck, shoulders, and the rest of your body.
· Listen to the radio if you wish, or just allow the mind to wander, keeping it away from anything unpleasant. ( focus on God's Word <<< thats my tip!)
· "Eyes covered by palms (no pressure on the eyes);
· fingertips at hairline;
· fingers overlapped to allow breathing room for your nose. Elbows resting on table, chair back, pillow, etc.
Relax, feel your eyes give up the tension of trying to see. Let yourself go as much as you can. Let go into what you may be seeing; keep breathing. Memorize the feeling of palming. To be done especially before doing a visual task such as reading. EYES CLOSED."
SUNNING - 10min. ( Please Read carefully)
"The Bates technique for relieving photophobia is called sunning, and consists simply of taking sunshine on the closed lids. In this way the retina is accustomed to progressively brighter light, until the stage is reached where the eye can function efficiently over the entire range of normally encountered light intensities. The warmth of the sun and the therapeutic properties of its rays also have a profound and beneficial effect on the health of the eyes and on the ability to relax them."
Things to Avoid
Do not look directly at the sun
Do not wear contacts or lenses when sunning
Do not use fluorescent light
Never use an infrared or ultraviolet lamp
It is advised to sun only in the morning or evening and only for short periods of time
"Face the sun, eyes closed. I repeat: EYES CLOSED. Allow the warmth of the sun to penetrate deeply into your eyes and forehead. Relaxedly turn your head from side to side. Keep breathing. Feel the position of the sun."
"Begin if you can by taking half a minute of sun [do not look directly at the sun], palm until the after-images have substantially faded, and repeat two or three times. At the next sunning session increase the period slightly and repeat it an extra time, building up over the weeks and months to a maximum of 20 minutes of sun in all."
