EYEnews: CLARITY, FOCUS AND VISION FOR YOUR SIGHT AND YOUR LIFE

---

Does Your Imagination Influence How You See? I always find it particularly gratifying when scientific research proves what my experience - and the experience of thousands of vision improvers - already tells me. Latest case in point: Researchers at Vanderbilt University have determined that imagining something influences what is seen with the eyes open. Imagination is a critically important, yet often overlooked, visual skill. Developing the imagination is an essential part of improving your vision, and that's one of the main reasons why The Program for Better Vision produces such great results. The Imagining Part of Your Brain The same part of the brain - the visual cortex - that produces our mental images also converts the nerve impulses received by the eyes into our image of the world. In many ways, your body can't tell the difference between what you imagine and what you see. Your nightly dreams originate in the visual cortex. And your body reacts in the same way physiologically to the dream of being chased by a tiger as it would if it were actually happening in reality. As another example, when you imagine looking into the distance, the focusing system of your eyes changes in the same way as it does when you are looking into the distance with your eyes open. Many athletes depend on creative visualization - an aspect of imagination - to improve their performance by first mentally rehearsing their routines. Missing the value of training the imagination, or not understanding its importance, is one of the reasons that people do not get as much vision improvement as they can potentially get.
