there's a yogic practice – known as Trataka (Still Gazing) – which can fix short-sightedness or myopia. Giving it from the book A Million Thoughts (on meditation) [0]: > How to Do It Right 1. Assume the standard yogic posture for meditation, preferably cross-legged. 2. Light a candle, at a distance of about three feet, in front of you. You can also keep any other object than a candle if you prefer. 3. Ensure the candle or any other object of focus is at your eyelevel. 4. Watch it unblinking for a minimum of seven minutes. You can gradually increase the duration. 5. During the actual practice, try to be aware of your wandering thoughts and gently bring your mind back to the object. > Please see the chart below: > You will notice that still body and still gaze are red impact items, which means if you move your body or shift your gaze while practising trataka; that is instant failure. Reset the clock and start again. If you are unable to control your eye movement and end up blinking, it’s not a problem, simply be mindful and carry on. You may experience your thoughts flow. Ideally it should be restricted but it is natural and a green impact item, which means you don’t have to stop your practice. Let us say you decide to do trataka for a period of seven minutes. For those seven minutes, you must be still like a rock restricting your eye movements as well. It is important to not blink at all. Tears will start to roll down, but you should stay unmoved. If it gets really uncomfortable, you can blink. The ability to not blink improves over time and with practice. Each time your mind goes off the tangent, bring your focus back to the object. You can do trataka on any object, but doing it on a candle flame has a purifying effect on the mind. It is best to do the practice at least twice a day: in the morning and before going to bed at night. > Steadily and gradually increase your ability to stay unblinking as part of this practice. It requires patience and resolve. 0: https://www.amazon.com/Million-Thoughts-Meditation-Himalayan-Mystic/dp/8184959451 https://www.amazon.com/Million-Thoughts-Meditation-Himalayan...
