For generations the people of Tibet have used natural methods to correct visual weakness and improve their eyesight. Chief among them are: Peripheral vision technique, Tibetan chart and eye exercise using the chart.

Before applying any alternative medicines therapy, you should be aware that many of these therapy have not been evaluated in scientific studies. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness.

Tibetan Peripheral Vision Technique

How important is peripheral vision? Everyone uses their peripheral vision while driving, walking, playing sports, at work and at home. In fact, if we didn't use our peripheral vision, we would end up with "tunnel vision.� We develop "tunnel vision" or lack of peripheral vision by concentrating to "hard" with the eyes fixed forward. Gazing hard, straight forward, makes the eyes lose the ability to see clearly peripherally (side-vision).

How well do you see on the sides? Before being taught to read, children can see with their side (peripheral) vision clear and sharp. "The normal eye sees one thing BEST, but not one thing only." By developing your "Peripheral" (side vision), you too can have "eyes behind your head." Gazing straight (forward), without moving to either side. Just pay attention to what is going on "peripherally." on your right and left sides.

• Step 1: Hold a pencil in each hand, twelve inches in front of your eyes.
• Step 2: Gaze straight out past the pencils into the "distance", without looking directly at the pencils. See the pencils with your "Peripheral Vision." Do not look directly at the pencils.
• Step 3: Move each pencil s-l-o-w-l-y to the sides of each eye, as far as you can see them peripherally. Repeat this front-to-side movement at least ten times.
• Step 4: Next, move the pencils, right hand upward and left hand downward, ten times.
• Step 5: Next, move the pencils right hand diagonally upward, and left hand diagonally downward, ten times.
• Step 6: Next, move the pencils left hand diagonally upward, and right hand diagonally downward, ten times.
• Step 7: Next, hold pencils twelve inches in front of your eyes and make a circle about two or three feet in diameter, from in front of your eyes, out to the sides. 

Keep your eyes looking straight ahead in all Seven Steps. Perform circles clockwise and counterclockwise.

The Tibetan Eye Chart

Eye exercise using Tibetan chart

These exercises are to be done without eyeglasses or contacts. Do each movement for 30 seconds while in a sitting position, spine straight and do not move the head but eyes.
1.) With the palm of each hand cup both closed eyes to relax them.
2.) Move the eyes clockwise around the outer circle of dots
3.) Repeat this movement in a counterclockwise rotation
4.) Move the eyes back and forth between the dots at 2 and 8 o'clock
5.) Repeat this movement back and forth between dots at 4 and 10 o'clock
6.) Blink the eyes briefly and finish therapy with the palming same as exercise #1

Repeat exercises as desired being careful to avoid strain. After beginning therapy wear eyeglasses and contacts as little as possible. In time these crutches will become unnecessary.
