You might have experienced clear flashes already, if you started going with reduced prescriptions and challenging yourself for active focus.  Now you might wonder .. how do you get the most from this experience?  How hard should you be working for those clear flashes?  

 

A clear flash is when you look at a blurred image, and suddenly it clears up.  It’s a jarring and amazing experience, especially the first time you have it.

Simple blur.

Looks like blur.

You’ll soon realize that the image wasn’t actually blurred, but some form of multiple images that didn’t fully align.  The clear flash isn’t voodoo magic.  Rather, it’s simply all those (two or more) images “fusing” together for one single image that now doesn’t look blurred.  

This is different from active focus, which works with the ciliary muscle inside your eye.  The clear flash is based on multiple images aligning for a clear image.  This happens inside your brain (the visual cortex).  It’s not as easily created as active focus, the stimulus works on your brain rather than your eye, and you’ll need it as well as active focus to continue to improve your eyesight.
