Radical scientific advancement often takes place only in interdisciplinary areas. Ecology, biophysics, biochemistry, quantum physics, quantum electrodynamics, and other areas have developed an expanding, holistic picture of the material world, changing our view of it.

Today’s new humanism, science and psychotherapy, the intercultural dialogue, the meeting of East and West and of North and South are also constantly changing the holistic image we have of ourselves. A program dedicated to the care of our eyes should not lag behind.

Understanding Eye Vision

Our understanding of health is undergoing a change. Not so long ago, health meant the absence of illness, but today’s holistic medicine defines health in terms of preventing illness, and prevention is each individual’s responsibility. Today, health also refers to the quality of life, a process of growth on the emotional and mental level. Our understanding human vision is likewise undergoing an evolutionary process. Today, we believe that we can change and train vision. We’ve learned to “see” in a particular way, but that way is constantly changing, in the same way that, over time, human vision has adapted to the constantly changing demands of the environment. For instance, the amount and speed of visual information transmitted through the modern media is constantly expanding.

This development can have positive effects. For example, according to recent research, the ability of the human brain to deal with the increasing amount of “input” is actually expanding.

Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses Alone Won’t Do

In spite of the obvious advances in ophthalmology and optometry, more and more people suffer from visual defects.

Studies conducted during the last fourteen years show that fifty percent of the people who work with computers suffer from visual problems, and forty-nine percent complain about burning eyes. In all probability, young people will spend more and more time in front of a computer as time goes by. And like it or not, we must face the consequences.

Today, the waiting rooms of opticians and ophthalmologists are full of people who are looking for help. For many of them, corrective lenses alone don’t provide relief. That is not surprising because we cannot correct vision simply by wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses. Often an existing condition continues to deteriorate, sometimes because of these optical aids.

Many people with visual difficulties, and even those with good eyesight, want to do something to ensure the health of their eyes.
