Are you often furious because you can't find something? I can't see that I can't leave the door anymore, so I can't get the entrance time of the movie, and I can't get the tickets everywhere. I was just put together with the money bag yesterday, so why didn’t I see it? You were as anxious as a hot pot. When your family came to find it, they saw it at a glance, "Isn't the ticket right in front of you?" At this moment, although you were surprised, you were a little more melancholy.
A few years ago, this would not be a problem at all. Now I have to suspect that my judgment has become worse, or that I still recognize the status of my function.
Can't find the thing in front of you, it may be because of "narrow vision". The "vision" mentioned here is not "physical vision" (all areas that can be seen by the eyes, including confusion), but refers to "effective vision". The so-called "effective vision" refers to the space area that can be seen when the eyes look straight ahead and the head and eyeball are fixed. When our "effective vision" becomes narrower, even if the eyes see the object, they may not be able to clearly identify the content of the object, so there is no possibility of predicting the next change of this object. For example: If you identify a cat in the front left, you can prepare the psychological preparations that it may be uncovered at any time, or if you see a discarded plastic bag in the front right, you will predict that it may be blown away by the wind.
Here we teach you a simple method to test "effective vision" by yourself. Your effective vision is to look ahead blankly, be able to see clearly and grasp the scope of the object content. Young people are about twenty degrees up and down directions and thirty degrees on the left and right directions. As they grow older, their scope will decrease.
Although age and cognitive function affect effective vision, if you can often and deliberately expand your vision on weekdays, you can maintain "effective vision" unlimited. The right to go to age is to enjoy a quiet time without being slandered by the outside world, and to immerse yourself in your own world and focus on a certain hobby. However, everything has its pros and cons. Enjoying a good time for one person often leads to a narrower and more difficult vision when looking for something.
Therefore, first of all, you must realize that "your effective vision will become smaller", and then take a step back from the past to enjoy the scenery of habit, and you will find that the scope of the eyes has expanded. Such recognition and adjustment can help maintain an effective vision.
In addition, expanding effective vision can also strengthen training. The method is to look straight ahead, fix the visual focus, and identify as much as possible what is far away in the up, down, left and right directions. You can see the scenery or words.
For example, extend an arm directly in front, give your thumbs up, and look at your thumbs up; your eyes and heads are completely fixed, and you can identify what is in front of your thumbs up, down, left and right directions. I believe you will find that your discernment ability is far less good than you think you think you are.
Once a day, once every three minutes, continue to carry out self-training of "expanding effective vision". Just confirming your effective vision every day will help. If you take a shortcut and it is not convenient to stretch out your arms in a public venue, you can see the back of the passenger standing in front of you or the suspended ring in the car as the center of the gazing.
Simple minor training can maintain an effective vision and is also helpful in preventing cognitive decline in vision, which is worthy of continuous training.
