If one of your eyes is suppressed, then it is quite important that you spend much time activating the eye and bringing it from the sideline back to the game.

SINGLE-EYE PRACTICE with shields L and R is key for your success no matter what technique you engage with.

Leverage MEMORY and IMAGINATION to project the vision in your active eye to your lazy eye.

Relax and engage the eye (at the same time) with the 4-WAY SHIFTING technique.

Maximize your practice of the BALL AT TARGET, the STRING CROSS and the JUGGLER.

Wear a MONO LENS or the NOSE CARD for an extended time period.

And finally, love the eye that needs more help, mentally encourage it to come forward, give it space to participate in the seeing process.

Strabismus is one of the more complex errors of refraction.

SINGLE EYE PRACTICE is a must. Spend much time working with the strabismic eye, but give the other eye a go as well.

Allow the eyes lots of RELAXATION before and after practice sessions.

Double down on all SWINGS and the SWAY.

Relax and engage (at the same time) the turning eye with the 4-WAY SHIFTING technique. Hold the Shifter in front of the eye, but slightly moved to the side opposite to the direction of the eye’s turn.

You can further encourage the eyes to look where you want them to look through the STRING CROSS technique.

Think of releasing the tension in the muscle that pulls the eye out of alignment. IMAGINE that muscle getting looser, and lengthening, and the eye turning to the proper, central position with ease.

Additional techniques that teach eye alignment, as well as eye-related mind work may be needed.

The most successful technique that helps with double vision is IMAGINATION. Look at an object, imagine it as one (merge the two images you saw into one), then project the imagined picture into reality. Your brain must know that there is only one image, see one image (in the mind), before you can see it in real life.

There are many depths of knowledge. Create the deepest possible experience of the “one image” that you can. Demonstrate to your brain that only one image exists. If it helps, touch or trace the object to show your brain that there is only one.

Remember, doubling is only in your brain, it does not exist in the real world, therefore working on the way your brain will interpret a signal is of key importance.

Practice the SWING (head or optical). Specifically swing the doubled object in the direction that is at a 90 degree angle to the direction at which the doubling happens. For example, if the object doubles horizontally, practice swinging the object vertically.

If you see double only when looking with both eyes, then practice eye-coordination techniques, such as the STRING CROSS.

While Overbound programs cannot guarantee the reversal of cataracts, the Bates method strongly suggests that long periods of SUNNING and PALMING are introduced to the student’s daily routine. The general recommendation is to enjoy sunning for 1/3 of the dedicated time, then palming for twice as long (2/3). So, if you decide to practice sunning for 5 minutes, you should follow with palming for 10 minutes, ideally without opening your eyes in between.

For the practice of sunning, lenses L and R of the Overbound Eyesight Trainer can be worn to provide an opportunity for a single eye engagement.

IMAGINATION of the clear lens and imagination of clear letters have proven to be highly effective for many students.

Same as with cataracts, Overbound programs cannot guarantee the reversal of glaucoma. However, improvement has been witnessed by the practitioners of natural eyesight development through the application of RELAXATION, and frequent extended practice of the techniques that develop PERIPHERAL VISION.

Limit Palming to short sessions, no more than 10 minutes at a time, but increase their frequency.
