demonstrate that by practicing you can imagine a letter at 10 feet as well as you can see it at one foot.
Regard a letter of the Snellen test card at a distance where it cannot be readily distinguished and appears blurred.
Now look at the same letter on a card at the near point, one foot or less, where it can be seen perfectly.
Then close your eyes and with your finger draw the same letter in the air as well as you can remember it.
Open your eyes and continue to draw the imaginary letter with your finger while looking for only a few seconds at the blurred letter on the card at 10 feet.
Then close your eyes again and remember the letter well enough to draw the letter perfectly in your imagination with your finger.
Alternate drawing the letter at 10 feet in your imagination with your eyes open and drawing it with your eyes closed as well as you see it at one foot or nearer.
When you can draw the letter as perfectly as you remember it, you see the letter on the distant card in flashes.
By repetition, you will become able to not only always imagine the known letter correctly, but to actually see it for a few seconds at a time.
You cannot see a letter perfectly unless you see one part best, central fixation.
Note that you obtain central fixation while practicing this method, i.e., you see one part best.
Drawing the letter with your finger in your imagination enables you to follow the finger in forming the letter and with the help of your memory, you can imagine each side of the letter best, in turn, as it is formed.
By this method, the memory and the imagination are improved And when the imagination becomes perfect, the sight is perfect.
You can cure the highest degrees of myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, atrophy of the optic nerve, cataract, glaucoma, detachment of the retina, and other diseases by this method.
