1. Vision Tip of the Month

Each month we'll highlight a simple, but important, tip, exercise or idea for Better Vision. This month's tip:

Keep your eyes moving and change your focus: Staring is the most commonly practiced bad habit. Any kind of "fixed focus" use of your eyes - when your eyes are focused at one distance for a prolonged time - is extremely stressful. Using a computer, reading a book or driving a car are some examples of "fixed focus" work.

To reduce the stress of "fixed focus" work, keep your eyes moving and change your focus regularly.

When at the computer or reading a book, shift your focus from up close to across the room and back again at least once every 2 - 3 minutes (and more often if you remember.) Whether walking down the street, watching TV or engaged in conversation, you can always keep your eyes moving and change your focus regularly.

The eyes are in constant motion, scanning the environment so often and moving so rapidly that they send 60 - 70 images to the mind every second! This steady, subtle movement is essential for clear vision; staring and freezing your eye movements interferes with the normal functioning of the visual system.

Of course, you can't consciously move your eyes that fast, but you can unlock tension in your visual system by remembering to change your focus frequently. This encourages your eyes to become more relaxed.

2. Q & A

Send us any questions you have about your vision and we'll try to answer them in future issues of EYEnews. This month's question:

Can you tell me more about the Cambridge Institute for Better Vision and it's approach to eye care?

Our approach is based on one simple idea: It is possible for eyesight to improve. Deteriorating vision is not inevitable and you can do something good for eyes. Our philosophy is holistic: The functioning of the eyes is influenced not only by the mechanical aspects of vision, but also by the body, mind and emotions

The Cambridge Institute for Better Vision was founded in 1976 by Martin Sussman, an alternative vision expert. He developed the EYECLASSES Vision Seminar and refined his methods by observing what was effective for the thousands of participants who attended. He then authored numerous audio programs and books which distill the essence of the seminar into home study systems now in use by more than 250,000 people around the world.

The Program for Better Vision, created by Martin Sussman, is the world’s #1 best selling audio system to prevent, reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts. For more information about The Program for Better Vision, click here

The Cambridge Institute for Better Vision makes Mr. Sussman's work available to the public. In addition, the Cambridge Institute also offers other products created by others that Mr. Sussman endorses. Click here to see all of these items.

Mr. Sussman continues to develop new products for better vision, and offers speaking engagements, seminars and classes in North America and Europe. He is also available for email and phone consultations.

The Cambridge Institute for Better Vision strives to offer the most effective, practical and easy to use ideas, techniques and information that we can find.
