Palming

Palming is placing hands over the eyeballs, with the intention of reducing myopia. This is a Bates method practice that can be disregarded, as it does not address the causality of how eyesight improves.

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.
