Method and apparatus for improving visual acuity

A method for improving visual acuity, comprising the steps of:

• forcing both brain halves to operate at substantially equal visual levels in coordination with each other;
• and
• subsequently forcing both brain halves to operate independently of each other at substantially equal visual levels;
• each said step of forcing including the step of substantially occluding ambient light to at least one eye in a light restriction area located in an overlapping viewing area of both eyes, said step of substantially occluding including the step of forming an outer edge of the light restriction area in an inwardly and downwardly inclined manner with respect to a nasal axis extending through the nose of the person, said outer edge being formed at an angle in the range of approximately 15 to 25 degrees with respect to the nasal axis.

• and
• said step of forcing both brain halves to operate in coordination with each other includes the step of forming said light restriction area with a lesser area than said overlapping viewing area so as to provide some overlapping viewing by both eyes.

• and
• said step of forcing both brain halves to operate independently includes the step of increasing the size of said light restriction area to be at least equal to said overlapping viewing area so as to eliminate overlapping viewing by both eyes.
