Like many Bates method practices, palming may be used to temporarily reduce [[eye strain]]. However, it is always better to resolve the core causes of eye strain, like uncorrected vision and bad computer habits. | Like many Bates method practices, palming may be used to temporarily reduce [[eye strain]].

'''Swinging''' is one of the exercises advocated by the [[Bates Method]]. | |||
There could be some rationalisation for it : by allowing the [[Visual cortex]] to see different focal planes | |||
moving relative to each other, it gains information about the relative distances of those planes, which it would | |||
not otherwise have (due to [[Myopic blur]]). It might be able to use that extra information in some useful way. | |||
It would do no harm to give it a try while you're looking out the window anyway, while observing the | |||
[[20-20-20-Rule]]. Let us know if you find it helpful. If nothing else, it will give the neighbours | |||
across the road something to talk about. | |||
You could try chanting a mantra at the same time. I can't think of a rationalisation for that, | |||
but it might entertain your cat. | |||
The [[Myopia is Mental]] method extends the idea of swinging to make yourself aware of | |||
objects moving relative to each other as you walk. That is not dissimilar to the rationalisation | |||
above - it could conceivably give some additional depth information. | |||
