 Imagination Blindness - Memory as an Aid to Vision, by W.H. Bates
In order that patients under treatment for the cure of functional eye troubles may recognize and avoid the conditions that produce strain, they are advised, whatever other method of improving their sight they may be using, to carry with them always the memory of a small area of black, such as a period.
With the eyes open and looking at a blank surface, without trying consciously to see, the unconscious strain to see is lessened so that the patient becomes able to remember a black period, and all errors of refraction, as demonstrated by the retinoscope, are corrected.
The majority of patients find the conditions most favorable for the memory of black when their eyes are closed and covered with the palms of the hands in such a way as to exclude all the light, while avoiding pressure on the eyeballs.

 Better eye sight through proper eye care
In this exercise you sit comfortably, close both your eyes, cover your eyes lightly (no pressure whatsoever) with your palms and keep looking into the darkness in front of your eyes, in a complete state of relaxation, without forcing your mind to think any particular line of thoughts or subjecting yourselves to any strain.
Stress and strain result in building up of pressure on the optic nerve, the eye muscles and the retina as well as cause changes in the flow of blood in the veins that supply blood to the eyes.
The glaring light of the sun is said to be very harmful to your eyes, especially to the cells in your retina.

Eye strain can involve eye irritation, dry eyes, headaches, pain in the eyes or surrounding facial muscles, excessive blinking or squinting, difficulty focusing and increased sensitivity to light.
Staring at television or computer screens for too long also can cause eyestrain among gamers, but there are ways to prevent that as well.
While there are no statistics available, Doyon said she often sees cases of muscle strain that are at least partially caused by video gaming.

 Human eye - toric contact lenses
Often small degrees of astigmatism can be tolerated although sometimes the additional strain in attempting to focus can result in sore eyes and headaches, which is when spectacles or contact lenses are prescribed.
Astigmatism is where the optical system of the eye, particularly the front surface of the cornea, has one curvature going across the eye and a different curvature at right angles to this.
An eye with astigmatism does not have a single position of focus where that small distant light can be focussed as a point.

 Imagination Blindness - Perfect Sight Without Glasses - Chapter 9
The eye which strains to see at the distance, on the contrary, becomes longer than it was before in one or all meridians, and may pass from the flattened condition of hypermetropia, through emmetropia, to the elongated condition of myopia.
In the first case a strain to see at the distance lessens the hypermetropia, and a strain to see at the near-point increases it; in the second a strain to see at the distance increases the myopia, and a strain to see at the nearpoint lessens it.
This operation produces usually a condition of hypermetropia; but when there has previously been a condition of high myopia the removal of the lens may not be sufficient to correct it, and the eye may still remain myopic.
