OBSERVE THE WORLD FROM AN EYE CORNER, article by J.Benders in " De Telegraaf " (Nl.)

Can our eye muscles be trained like other muscles in our body?

Yes, say special eyetrainers.

The eyes can change faster to different images. Besides such they tell that sporters can expand their visual field, like they focus not only to the object itself, also to the whole area around.

Exercise by your own:

A diverse use of your point finger,

hold your arm up in front. Bring your finger slowly closer to your nose and stay focused the whole time. the moment the sharpness breaks, that's when the focusing muscles train.

Expand the view

-At home:

Take a pen and point an object in a comic album. look at that object first with full attention. gradually extend your observation around, without moving (the fixation of) your eyes.

-At a soccerfield:

go to the penalty stip and look the goalkeeper in the eyes and stay fixating. Try to observe the corner flags without moving (the fixation of) your eyes.

The art of vision exercises

The field of vision expands:

Before.......................>>>.........................After

Multifunctional

A top sporter, like a Top Teniser or Top baseball player are capable to take different

visual actions at the same time:

-See the spin of the ball.

-Antisipate where the ball will come in relation to the body.

-Observe the opponents' moves
