Train Your Eye: What the Evidence Supports

[SunshineD]

Ever notice how your eyes start seeing color and contrast differently after a long editing session? There are a few evidence-based habits here that can help keep your vision fresher, whether you're behind the camera or in front of the monitor.

This was excellent.  Worth the subscription price alone.

When I first taught back in the late Eighties I used to get the students to stare at distant walls and count the bricks, doing some cognitive exercises while adjusting the vision to the distant wall seemed to aid the muscle stretching.

The diopter adjustment was what I did anyway, but a good reminder and good to be cognizant of relaxing the eye as you did it.

I'll definitely take up a few of the other exercises.  Thank you.

When you get old enough, it doesn't matter about grand theory: you're screwed regardless.

August marks a year where I have had constant battles with tears. The damned things are not in the least emotion-driven: they come of their own volition, make you feel embarrassed even walking down the street, and seriously affect the effectiveness of the drops that have to be applied each day to combat pressure in the eye, quite another problem altogether.

I have been to see the local quack at least six times, have been sent to the hospital twice already, and have a third appointment there on Monday. Except that I don't: due to unending queues at the National Services one, I have been shuttled off to a private hospìtal which has impossible parking. So, as has happened before for the same reason, I will park at the Social Security one and go on a cross-country hike to the city-centre one to see - no pun etc. - if they can do better. Privatised medicine by the back door.

Enjoy your eyes and vision whilst you can; time may come when the iPhone is your only photographic friend.
