covering this topic.\u0026nbsp; Ever since losing most of the vision in my right eye four years ago I have been acutely aware of the role eye muscles play in posture.\u0026nbsp; I have just enough vision in my right eye to be a nuisance and over time cause me to tilt to the right even more than I had been.\u0026nbsp; I have virtually no peripheral vision and I end up tensing my neck and\u0026nbsp;shoulders which exacerbates my structural problem.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAbout two and a half months ago I started experimenting with an\u0026nbsp;eye patch on right\/left eye doing different things around house--washing dishes, watching TV, doing word puzzle with left hand that requires fine motor skill on iPad, dancing\/twirling with the bones, sitting in your chair while stretching concentratiing\u0026nbsp; on eye movements--with rather good success.\u0026nbsp; It carries over into my day and I can realize I\u0027m tensing and relax.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou have mentioned before that twisting comes from the ankles and I think the picture of Maya shows exactly the motion I aspire to but am still blocked.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I have been working on my

while sitting at my computer I practice slightly swivelling my chair first to one side and then to the other while keeping my head still but keeping my eyes on the sreen. It has helped with eye strain and I can see (pun intended) that it could help with this perpendicular posture eye-tracking also. It is very easy to do and doesn\u0027t interrupt work concentration.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \u003Cul class=\u0022links inline\u0022\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/user\/login?destination=\/blog\/respecting_the_neck_the_eyes_have_it%23comment-form\u0022\u003ELog in\u003C\/a\u003E or \u003Ca href=\u0022\/user\/register?destination=\/blog\/respecting_the_neck_the_eyes_have_it%23comment-form\u0022\u003Eregister\u003C\/a\u003E to post comments\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/article\u003E\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022indented\u0022\u003E\n\u003Carticle data-comment-user-id=\u00227\u0022 id=\u0022comment-38754\u0022 class=\u0022js-ajax-comments-id-38754 js-comment\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cmark class=\u0022hidden\u0022 data-comment-timestamp=\u00221575568371\u0022\u003E\u003C\/mark\u003E\n\n      \u003Cfooter\u003E\n      \u003Carticle\u003E\n  \n            \u003Cdiv\u003E  \u003Ca href=\u0022\/users\/esthergokhalemethodcom\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 src=\u0022\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/thumbnail\/public\/teacher_biography\/Esther%20Gokhale%20Headshot%20600x600.png?itok=K6i4rTUJ\u0022 width=\u0022100\u0022 height=\u0022100\u0022 alt=\u0022Profile picture for user esther@gokhalemethod.com\u0022 \/\u003E\n\n\u003C\/a\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \u003C\/article\u003E\n\n      \u003Cp\u003ESubmitted by \u003Cspan\u003EEstherG\u003C\/span\u003E on Thu, 12\/05\/2019 - 09:52\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n            \n      \u003Ca href=\u0022\/comment\/38754#comment-38754\u0022 hreflang=\u0022und\u0022\u003EPermalink\u003C\/a\u003E\n    \u003C\/footer\u003E\n  \n  \u003Cdiv\u003E\n          \n      \u003Ch3 class=\u0022comment-title\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/comment\/38754#comment-38754\u0022 class=\u0022permalink\u0022 rel=\u0022bookmark\u0022 hreflang=\u0022und\u0022\u003EThat\u0026#039;s a novel approach which\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\n      \n        \n            \u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat\u0027s a novel approach which has an additional benefit of\u0026nbsp;strengthening the deeper abdominal (obliques) and back muscles (rotatores).
