Glaucoma, Cataracts, Astigmatism, and All Eye Problems – Emotions Related to Poor Vision

The eyes are said to be the windows to the soul. This statement could not be more true. Since the beginning of wearing glasses for low vision, man has been wondering what causes low vision.

There is nothing new under the sun

There is nothing new under the sun. Man has discovered and lost consciousness over the centuries. Dr. Wm. H. Bates MD, Ophthalmologist discovered the cause and cure of eye problems more than 90 years ago. In his research, he found that stress on the mind interfered with the eye’s natural focusing muscles. He discovered that vision is psychosomatic. When the mind is tense, the eyes are tense. He found that emotions played an important role in causing vision problems.

The eyes are tools of the mind

The eyes are tools of the mind. Just as ulcers and heart attacks are caused by prolonged stress (psychosomatic illness), vision is also affected by stress. These tensions are always accompanied by changes.

Fear at the root of eye problems

Along with the physiological reasons, Dr. Bates took it a little further. He noted that fear creates mental tension and stress and affects eyesight. What is fear? Fear is created when we experience a change from the norm, such as people moving, changing schools, divorce, death, career changes, or a difficult relationship. These changes create stress and an element of the unknown that evokes fear. This fear is usually repressed as a coping mechanism and is never addressed again.

Whether you’re nearsighted, farsighted, or if you experience any other visual problems, all vision problems start with the initial cause of fear or fear of anger. If you look back at the beginning of your visual problems, you will likely find circumstances that evoked fear on some level. You may have been aware of it briefly, but due to the lack of opportunity to express it or the fear it was too much to bear, you quickly suppressed it as a survival mechanism and never dealt with it again. Fear occurs in all ages, from young to very old.

Eye training and healing

Using this method of eye training is a very healing process. It deals with the cause and allows you to get in touch with repressed fear, anger, pain and grief and allow for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing.
