Amblyopia: Commonly known as "lazy eye," is a vision disorder in which one eye does not achieve normal visual acuity, even with prescription glasses or contact lenses. It occurs when the brain and one of the eyes do not work together properly, when the brain ignores the visual signals coming from that one eye.

Symptoms: Blurry vision, very poor vision or nearly no vision in one eye.

Traditional correction: Patching with pirate patch.

Natural correction: The path to seeing objects near and far with your naked eyes awaits you inside this month’s lesson.

May your eyesight be boundless.

TOUCH OF ANATOMY

There is no anatomical problem with an amblyopic eye. The root cause of the issue lies with the low quality of connection between the eye and the brain, with the brain intentionally or unintentionally ignoring the visual input provided by the amblyopic eye.

MANTRA FOR SEEING WITH BOTH EYES

“I am choosing to see equally well with my right eye and my left eye. Objects that I see with each eye separately I see equally well with both eye together. My brain is paying attention to the visual signals from both my eyes equally. I am choosing to see this way right now and always.”

Directions for using the mantra as part of your routine:

Repeat at least 5 times before beginning your practice. Best when said aloud, with your eyes closed, visualizing seeing far objects and feeling the joy of seeing them. Whatever “far objects” means for you is your choice. Remember that you are the master of your mind. You control the mind, which controls your brain, which then controls your body (per neuroscience and neuropsychology). Choose the way you want to see, then through your thoughts (by making clear, positive, non-negotiable statements about your desired future, but in the present tense) command your brain to help you while you take action in the form of your daily practice.
