I get hundreds of questions from people curious about improving their vision and wanting to know what's possible for their eyes. I also hear from Better Vision users who have questions about better applying the principles and techniques to their situation. Got a question yourself? Email me and I'll do my best to answer it.

THIS MONTH'S QUESTION:

Q. My eyes see differently. How can I adapt The Program for Better Vision to my situation?

A. First, it's important to understand that the main reason for the eye difference lies in the brain. Over time, the brain has developed patterns of over-attending to the visual input from one eye, at the expense of the other.

Obviously, both of your eyes are open at the same time, but the brain is not equally receptive to the visual input.

The key to regaining more equal seeing is to re-awaken all parts of the brain so that it uses both eyes more equally, fully and together.

Here's one way to do that, using the Fusion String (one part of The Program for Better Vision).

1. Determine which eye is seeing which of the two images of the Fusion String by briefly closing one eye and noticing which image disappears.

2. With both eyes open (and seeing two images of the string) direct your focus to primarily attend to the image of the string that is seen by the less-clear eye.

3. Over time, you will develop the awareness of which eye you are looking through.

4. Transfer this awareness to your daily life, often reminding yourself to look through the less-clear eye.

5. With practice, you will come to know when you are looking through both eyes together, which will re-activate all parts of the visual center of your brain.
