3D Stereo Images vs. Sunning Exercise "A few people do feel
uncomfortable sensations in their eyes, but I would compare those sensations
to the aches that come from exercising an out-of-shape muscle in your body.
It's important not to strain or push too hard. I wouldn't 'go for the
burn' with your eye muscles! In How to See 3D we emphasize
remembering to breathe, relax, blink and smile." Vision3D.com:
Exercise for the Eyes "3D stereo images [e.g. stereograms]
are powerful tools for training the two eyes to work together as a effective
binocular team. Stereo viewing is particularly useful in treating problems
with binocular vision or stereo vision such as, amblyopia ('lazy eye')
and strabismus ('crossed-eyes' or 'wall-eyes') [stereograms may also
be used to treat convergence insufficiency]." How to See 3D “With the parallel
viewing method (a.k.a. the divergence or Magic Eye method), the lines
of sight of your eyes move outward toward parallel and meet in the distance at a point well
behind and beyond the image. That's why it's called parallel viewing. When you
parallel-view, the muscles inside your eye that control the focusing
lens relax and lengthen.” “Another method for 3D
viewing is called cross-viewing or the cross-eyed method. You aim your eyes
so that the lines of sight of your eyes cross [converge] in
front of the image. When you cross-view, the muscles inside your
eye that control the focusing lens contract strongly and shorten.” Parallel
Viewing: Further Instructions There are some similarities between
parallel viewing and the Bates method exercise palming with visualization. In
the section Palming:
Instructions it is recommended to palm for at least four minutes.
It is also recommended to palm three to five times in succession. Parallel
Viewing vs. Cross Viewing ·
"Parallel-viewing
can relax your overworked eye muscles. ·
Alternating
between parallel-viewing and cross-viewing can be a callisthenic work-out
for the eyes. It can loosen up tight, overstressed eye muscles." Vision3D.com:
Exercise for the Eyes Since you
can only do so much parallel-viewing and cross-viewing before your eyes ache,
you may want to consider alternating between parallel-viewing and normal
viewing. This may be helpful for treating accommodative
insufficiency. Cross
Viewing is Indispensable Cross viewing strengthens the eye muscles. Parallel viewing alone will
only relax your eyes. Without cross viewing, the ability of the eyes to
coordinate their activity will not improve. Increasing Alpha-Theta Waves/Decreasing
Beta Waves "Notice the moment of slipping
into the experience of three dimensional space. The brain seems to have
locked onto the super-imposition of the two images, and at that very moment a
brain-wave shift can be noticed. Alpha brain waves have increased. This can
be experienced as a feeling of letting go, a sigh, a deepening relaxation.
Apparently, visually harmonizing the two halves of the brain in this unusual
way promotes an increase in alpha waves [probably alpha-theta waves
(alpha-theta waves are a subset of alpha waves with a frequency of 7-8 Hz)].
Brain wave measurements were taken with an analyzer from IBVA Technologies,
Inc." More information about alpha-theta
and beta waves can be found on the Brainwaves page. The palming exercise may be helpful in resting
the eyes before or after viewing stereo images. 3D Stereo
Images vs. Sunning Exercise Using either 3D stereo images or
Bates' sunning
exercise may be helpful for treating light sensitivity. However, one
advantage of the sunning exercise is that the head is moved during this
exercise. Head movement stimulates the inner ear and may improve the
vestibular system and proprioception. ·
Neurodevelopmental
Delays: Improving the Vestibular System ·
Neurodevelopmental
Delays: Improving Proprioception One advantage of stereo viewing is
that it can be used as an indicator of the quality of your binocular vision.
If you have a hard time seeing stereo images then your binocular vision may
need improvement. You may need to rest your eyes by 'palming', or you may
need to do some breathing and blinking exercises. It's a good
idea to check your binocular vision on a regular basis. Parallel
viewing and cross viewing can be challenging. It may be more helpful for
beginners to use other methods of treating vision problems--such as Bates' sunning
exercise for light sensitivity, or exercises such as pencil push-ups
and pencil fusion for convergence insufficiency. Stereogram
