THE MOTORING DRILL

Here is an interesting swing to practise while motoring: If possible, put a rear-view mirror at each side of your windscreen. When you ride as a passenger, remove your glasses and glance from mirror to mirror, then out through the front. This causes rhythmic shifting and interested looking. If your eyes are sufficiently strained that you have no fusion, you will need to do this drill with each eye separately.

Fusion occurs when the two images presented by properly focused eyes merge and the person sees but a single image. When the centre of sight is stimulated in each eye to the point where it sees better straight ahead than off-centre, you may be surprised to find the two eyes working together. This sometimes comes spontaneously when the eyes swing free to centralise for, by this time, they should have learned how to remain relaxed during activity Dynamic relaxation, once established, is a habit of living and using- the eyes. It will continue uncon-sciously and, barring illness or accident, will remain with one always. The correct muscular development takes place and remains by the mere process of proper living. What the eye learns to do, it can always repeat. When the mind learns to relax in action, it can always repeat. Once attained, the knowledge of correct use of the eyes cannot be lost. Retinas that are stimulated in the macular area (centre of sight) are permanently stimulated, bringing real vision and mental development.
