One common symptom of heavy myopia is a narrow, sometimes very narrow, field of view and insufficient peripheral awareness. The world of a person with high plus diopters is small, not only from the perspective of distance, but also of broadness and depth. A nearsighted person tends to look down and ignore the expansiveness of their surroundings, especially in the upward direction.
In this lesson, we focus on two things. We teach the person's eyes and brain to allow visual space to be seen a d understood. We also focus on their registration of the upward space that they tend to resist.
Even if you are not heavily myopic, you will get to practice the visual perception of the space around you based on the distance of your focus. You will practice peripheral vision, and you will practice proper focusing in two different ways.
I hope you find the lessons beneficial in your quest for boundless eyesight.
