Here's
an example of one of the 8 different eye
exercises
included in the Rebuild Your Vision Program...
*Note: The Rebuild Your Vision Program does not require the use of a computer to perform the eye exercises. This eye exercise has been modified for computer demonstration.
#3 - 3 CUPS
| Step 1: |
Refer
to the image above labeled "#3 - 3 CUPS." You will
also need a pen or pencil. |
| Step 2: |
Sit
relaxed and adjust your chair so that you are 12 to
24 inches from the computer monitor at eye level.
If the image is not perfectly clear to you, that's
all right, as long as you can make out the image. |
| Step 3: |
Hold
the pen vertically between the two circles approximately
1 inch from the screen. The top of the pen should
be at the same level as the image. |
| Step 4: |
Focus
on the top of the pen as you slowly bring it toward
your face. (Refer to Figure 3.2 below.) As you bring
the pen closer to your face you will notice the two
circles appear to become three circles. When it appears
that the three circles are all the same shape and
proportion, stop moving the pen. |
| Step 5: |
Try
to shift your focus from the pen to the center circle.
This may be difficult and could take a few days to
master. If you have trouble doing this, refer to "Troubleshooting"
below. |
| Step 6: |
Once
you can focus on the center circle, move your pen
away while maintaining your focus. Try to see the
center circle as clearly as possible. As you increase
your focus you will notice that the center circle
becomes three-dimensional. It will look as if you
were peering down into a Styrofoam cup. (Refer to
Figure 3.3 below.) |
| Step 7: |
Your
final goal for Level 1 is to look at the two
circles and create the three circles, the center one
appearing three-dimensional, without using your pen. Once you can easily achieve this,
proceed to level 2 as described in the Rebuild
Your Vision daily training routine. |
| Level 2: |
Continue
to levels 2 and 3 of the 3 Cups eye
exercise as detailed in the Rebuild Your Vision
Program. |
And if you have any difficulties (which people rarely do)...
There's troubleshooting
tips
like
these to help you along the way...
Helpful Tip #1: If you
have trouble creating the third circle.
Move closer or farther from the
monitor. Also, your eyes may have become
tired very quickly, so briefly look away
or perform the Distant Night eye exercise
to refresh your eyes.
Helpful Tip #2: If you
see four circles.
Focus closer to the tip of your nose. Bring
the pen closer to your face and keep your
eyes focused on it. This should transform
the four circles into three. Another option
is to move a few inches farther from the
monitor.
Helpful Tip #3: If you
cannot focus on the center circle.
If you can see the center circle
but have trouble focusing on it without
the pen, be assured that this is normal
when you're first performing this eye exercise.
Focus on the top of the pen, then slowly
look over it at the center circle. Keep
going back and forth between the two until
you are able to focus on the center circle
without the pen. |
