I recently posted a few quick tips on how to deal with the winter months, in respect to keeping your vision healthy.
As the days grow shorter, and the quality of ambient lighting reduces, our eyes have to work harder. If you have tried the eye chart in great light, vs. dusk, you already know this – your vision changes fairly drastically, depending on the quality of the ambient light.
If you are actively working on improving your vision, the winter months are a particular challenge. A good bit of it is psychological (the impact of which should not be discounted), many of us get some very mild form of the ‘seasonal affective disorder‘ (not that we have a disorder, but we do tend to be affected by the short days, and gray skies).
But all of this can be an opportunity, if you are working on improving your vision.
To help with some strategies, especially ones to leverage exactly these winter conditions, I put together a small series of installments. These are now available for free as part of the regular Web Program, to make up for the inconvenience of the recent subscription challenges.
I collected my favorite habits and exercises from the practice, for these installments. Of course at the core of it, it is all just about active focus. But as we have seen with the 60’s installment series, little things (like double vision, and focus pulling at dusk) can have a notable impact on your progress. And in any case, it’s free, included in the Web program, so I hope you will check them out, and enjoy them.
If you are currently in the Web Program, by next week you should see an extra option, titled Winter Blues. Click it for the installment series for the winter program.
Enjoy!
