Mindsip insights from this episode:

Understand true vision beyond 20/20 eyesight

Eyesight is just the ability to see letters at a distance, whereas true vision is how your brain processes that information to direct action.

#cognition

#vision

Break the vicious cycle of dependency on glasses

Getting glasses often leads to a reactive cycle where your eyes adapt to the prescription, requiring a stronger one each year and making you less engaged with space.

#vision

Train your brain to expand peripheral awareness and reduce stress

While looking straight ahead, become aware of objects in your side vision and point to them without looking to train your brain to open up your periphery and reduce stress.

#stress

#vision

Perform proactive eye stretches for better vision health

Cover one eye and stretch the other by looking as far as you can up, down, left, right, and diagonally, holding each position for five seconds.

#vision

Train your focus with near-far push-up exercises

Cover one eye and alternate focusing on your finger up close and an object in the distance for five seconds each to train your focusing system.

#vision

Utilize sunlight to reverse nearsightedness and reset circadian rhythm

Getting just 20 minutes of outdoor ultraviolet light in your eyes can reduce nearsightedness and provides a powerful circadian reset.

Limit tablet use to protect children's eye health

Using a tablet locks a child's focusing eye muscles under constant tension, which can lead to eye strain, headaches, and environmentally-induced nearsightedness.

Identify vision problems to differentiate from ADHD symptoms

Many symptoms of ADHD and dyslexia are parallel to functional vision problems, as the inability to focus your eyes is deeply ingrained with the ability to focus your mind.
