Secret to Vision

The Retina’s "Yellow Spot": The Secret to Vision

The "Yellow Spot" is a part of the Retina that allows the details of whatever you’re looking at to be seen more clearly.

The middle bit of the yellow spot is called the ‘Fovea Centralis’. This part of the Yellow Spot ‘sees’ twice as well as the Retina itself, particularly in bright light. When you focus on a small object or read a book, you see with this part of the Retina.

Peripheral vision: the ability to see out the corners of your eyes In the normal eye peripheral vision is quite clear.

Peripheral vision is weakened by too much eye-squinting, close work and intensive mental concentration for long periods. These activities center your eyes' attention upon a single point only, and you begin to lose your ability to see peripherally. According to the legendary Dr. Bates, "The normal eye sees one thing best, but not one thing only."

Eye Anatomy

The normal healthy eye is almost spherical and is made up of three layers:


1. The Outer Layer (Sclera)
2. The Middle Layer (Choroid)
3. The Inner Layer (Retina)

The Sclera is opalescent, which means it has “a milky iridescence like that of an opal”!! Its center is transparent and is called the Cornea. Light comes through the cornea.

Behind the cornea, the second layer, or Choroid is visible. The Choroid Layer contains tiny blood vessels which transport blood to and from the eyes. When we do our exercises, one of our aims is to increase this blood flow, to get more oxygen and nutrition to the eyes, and also to remove waste products.

The Choroid layer contains the Iris (the part of the eye that is colored), with the Pupil in its center.

The Iris is like a circular muscle that expands and contracts to adjust the size of the pupil. This lets more or less light into the eye, and helps us to see perfectly, whatever the lighting conditions (or at least it does in a healthy eye).

The pupil, in the normal eye, gets smaller when looking at a distant object, and larger when looking at something close by.

Interestingly enough, the pupil also changes size according to the emotions. When you look at someone you love very deeply, or something that gives you great pleasure, the pupils get larger.

When you look at something you don’t like at all, they get smaller!

So now you have a way to know ‘who loves ya baby’!

Right behind the Iris is the Crystalline Lens, which receives the light as it passes through the Pupil and focuses it upon the Retina, just like you did as a child when you used a magnifying glass to focus the sun onto a piece of paper.

Connected to the Crystalline Lens by a tiny ligament, is the Ciliary Muscle, which controls the contraction and expansion of the Crystalline Lens. In other words, the Ciliary Muscle changes the shape of the eye’s lens and therefore changes your focus.

The third, Inner Layer, or Retina, is a continuation of the Optic Nerve, which is located at the back of the eye. Actually, it’s a direct outgrowth of the brain!

The Retina receives the light that is focused upon it by the lens and then sends signals to the brain. The brain interprets the signals and you ‘see’ the image of the outside world! Neat huh!

The Eyes...

Understanding The Eyes

Before we get started learning how to fix our vision, let’s understand a little of how the eyes actually work.

By the way, you don’t have to understand any of this in order to attain perfect vision. It’s for your interest only. Also, knowing a little about the eyes can help you see the logic and reasoning behind some of the exercises. This may help increase your confidence in your routine, which in turn, helps you stick with the program.

I thought for a long time about how much information to include here. It’s easy to get caught up in the biology and physiology, but to be honest, too much understanding can often side-track you from you goal of improving your vision.

So I’ve basically, ‘dumbed down’ the information, to give you a very simple overview of the mechanics of the eye. If you’re really interested in a detailed and in-depth description, there’s tons of information available on the net.

Just go to google.com and enter ‘how the eyes work’ as your search phrase. So if you like things to be very technical and detailed, and you’re a stickler for correctness, better skip the next section and do your own research.

The following is only a ‘rough guide to the eyes’ and intended for those who like their technical info on the ‘hurry up’.

See Without Glasses

இந்த தொடரை ஆங்கிலத்தில் தான் எழுதலாம் என்று ஆரம்பித்தேன். நம் வாசகர்களின் கருத்திற்க்கு இணங்க, இரு மொழியிலும் இங்கு பதிவு செய்கிறேன்.

மனதின் வாசல் கண்கள். முகத்தின் அழகும் அதுதான். அதில் ஒரு குறையிருந்தால்...

ஏன் அதை குறைய விட வேண்டும். தினமும் 15 நிமிடங்கள் ஒதுக்குங்கள். வாழ் நாள் முழுவதும் ஆரோக்கியமான கண்களுடன் வாழலாம்.

ஒரு நாளுக்கு 15 நிமிடங்கள் .... அதிகமில்லை தானே!

I’m going to show you how to construct a 15 minute, killer routine, an awesome battle plan, which will absolutely guarantee the return of your vision.

15 minutes a day – not much is it?

Actually, you can do more, can’t you?
