Beschreibung

The theory that longsight, shortsight, and astigmatism are incurable visual defects, even though they have developed in eyes which were normal at birth, has been maintained for a century — and has been, and still is, the basis upon which glasses are universally prescribed for young and old alike. Text books in many languages affirm that adjustment of the focus of the eyes depends solely upon the small natural lens inside the eye incessantly altering its strength for near and far vision. R. Brooks Simpkins has disproved these theories and in this work portrays how refractive errors develop, and also the manner in which the eye actually adjusts its focus for all ranges of vision. Diagrams are included which explain to those who prescribe glasses the irregular activity of the intracranial processes of vision primarily responsible for the 'external' refractive error - a field of knowledge hitherto mainly disregarded and unexplored. Remedial methods of treatment, other than glasses, are also indicated. The eyes can be trained scientifically to work in accordance with nature's design of the visual mechanism - this is of great importance to children and young adults, while the need for glasses can be postponed for the middle-aged. Good sight is to be cherished, and everyone has a vested interest, far surpassing other considerations, in his or her own eyes. It is the hope of the author of this book that increasing efforts will be made in schools, clinics and private practice to bring to as many as possible the joy of unaided normal vision.

NOTE

NOTE

References in this book to the visible rays refer to the seven visible wavebands, and wavelengths within those bands, of the electro-magnetic spectrum.

Working together these wavebands constitute white light or daylight—when separated they have individual medicinal, biochemical, energising, sedative and other properties.

In the science of physics these rays are indirect electricity—scientifically applied they are a natural medicine for affections of the eyes, and also have a regularising influence on the whole of the visual mechanism.

The visual mechanism is electrical—and activated solely by light.

The eyes collect light energy and transmit it to the intra-cranial processes of vision—to produce the sense of sight, and also to activate the motor nerves of the external and ciliary muscles.

I refer my readers to my book Visible Ray Therapy of the Eyes.

FOREWORD

We are now in the latter half of the twentieth century!

Advances in so many branches of science are spectacular yet more and more children, young people and adults are prescribed glasses—as the only remedy for the refractive errors called long-sight, shortsight, astigmatism and the need of glasses for reading.

Should this be so?

I assert, without hesitation, that this need not be!

The truth now is that by concerted effort progressively fewer younger and older people need be afflicted with such artificial aids to vision—and it has become possible for only a comparative minority of future generations to be so condemned.

The object of this short book is to disprove the orthodox and theoretical bases upon which glasses are so freely prescribed—all over the world.

With the aid of diagrams I depict the irregular mechanical processes responsible for the development of refractive errors—in eyes which were normal infantile eyes at birth.

I also portray that nature has so designed the visual mechanism that the eyes can adjust their focus, accommodate, for extreme distance vision as well as for near vision.

Orthodox technicians call refractive errors visual defects of an antomical or physiological nature.

These defects, however, actually arise primarily from irregular activity of the motor nerves of the muscles of the eyes—this faulty activity is capable of being remedied or regularised.

Physical training to develop body and limbs is today an important branch of medical science—as well as physiotherapy, and rehabilitation, to correct faulty function which may have developed, or been caused by illness or accident.

Why not also train the eyes so that the standard of vision at present considered as being normal may become relatively subnormal? Equally why not rehabilitate them when visual defects develop?

Diagrams number 17 to 26 required years of research to prepare. They depict the effect on the refraction of abnormal and subnormal innervation of the motor nerves of the muscles of the eyes—and indicate the refractive errors they produce.

Many of my own patients consult me after glasses have been prescribed for them by an ophthalmic surgeon or an optician—invariably such prescriptions confirm the exactitude of these diagrams.

I ask those of my readers who are experienced in prescribing glasses to employ the diagrams similarly to check the visual defects in the eyes of their own patients—and thus prove for themselves the truth that irregular activity of the external muscles of the eyes produces the visual defects for which glasses are prescribed.

CHAPTER ONE - OCULOPATHY

As described in the introduction to my book 'New Light on the Eyes" many years of research in the mechanics of human vision have proved to me beyond question that the conjugating tractile tensions of the external muscles of the eyes are primarily responsible for accommodation while the crystalline lens provides finesse of the focus of vision for all ranges. These mechanical and involuntary processes produce in the normal eye variable degrees of 'natural shortsight' relative to proximity of near objects and reading matter, enable automatic return to normal unaided distance vision and also allow accommodation for extreme distance vision. Accordingly a longsighted eye, or moderately shortsighted eye, is one that does not involuntarily exercise its mechanical ability to readjust its focus for normal distance vision.
