Here is an excerpt from a class I help earlier this year. We covered everything from how to negotiate an eyeglass or contact lens prescription and Color Therapy to the visual-vestibular connections. I led the class in The Berne Method®, helping to improve your vision and health. This unique blend of holistic vision practices was experiential, and we had some great discussions. Enjoy the show, and keep an eye out for more from this series. If you want more, sign up for my newsletter at: www.drsamberne.com.

Hello, everyone. It’s Dr. Sam, I’d like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to [email protected]. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode.

So this first chart that I want to put up here is this one right here. And I'm going to talk about two coordination muscle patterns that I want you to practice. One is called Convergence. And that is my fingers or my eyes in the Amen. Now there's some people I've worked with, it's a no, I don't want to cross my eyes because my grandmother told me if I cross my eyes, they'll get stuck. Well, first of all, you're not crossing your eyes, you are converging them. But if you want to read better, if you have trouble reading, then convergence is probably not at a high skill level. And if you fall asleep when you read, if you're not reading, you know proficiently, it's probably related to a convergence problem. There's a diagnosis out there called convergence insufficiency. And it has to do with an inability to converge. And it's related to ADHD. And add, that are studies that were done, actually, an ophthalmologist did a study at the University of California, San Diego, who talked about kids who can't come, converge, have ADHD, and they're put on Ritalin, when if they did I therapy, they would need the Ritalin. And I wrote a book in 2006 called without Ritalin, where I talk about this particular study.

So just so you know. All right. So what you do with this is I'm going to sit so you can kind of see me. And you know, if you can't do it right, now you got the video, you can practice it, and it the harder you try, the worse you're going to do. So it isn't going about muscling it, or saying let me just or No, you've got to stay in a relaxed, kind of a Zen state. And then what you do is you hold the paper at about 12 to 14 inches, glasses off if you can, but you can also wear them and I'm going to talk about the progressive lenses that if you're wearing those, take those off, you're going to take your finger and put it slightly below the two plus signs at about 12 eight inches, nine inches from your nose, and you're going to focus on your finger. So you have one finger and you should see three plus signs. Now there's probably a percentage of people here who just they're not going to be able to get it during our time. And that's okay. Okay, I, I'm just showing it to you. So you get three plus signs. And then you can start to see not see other spaces in the numbers, you'll get two sevens, two fours and two eights, two threes, two nines and two fives, and three plus signs. And now if you're able to get that ball, you're crossing your eyes like I am, then you can move the paper around. And I have what I'm supposed to see here because my my eyes are working well today. So that's the convergence piece of this.
