Eyes

Improving the Eyes

The most common vision problems are caused by chronic tension in the six muscles which attach to the eyeball and/or the cilliary muscle inside the eyeball. The imbalances resulting from deep chronic tension in these muscles can cause the eyeball and/or cornea to become deformed from their proper shapes, thus affecting vision. It may not be easy, but this tension can be removed. There is a large amount of info available on alternative means of improving eyesight, most of it derived from the work of W.H. Bates.
