The Age of Comprehension While survival may have
evolved from strength to knowledge, information is now so plentiful that the
key to survival is no longer the acquisition of information but rather is
becoming the ability to filter or weed-out extraneous information. Knowing what to ignore is becoming almost
as important as what you know, and being able to clearly see that relevant
information is becoming the key to survival. While comprehension is
an art, reading is a use of vision that was NOT originally in our
evolutionary makeup. Instead we have taken our binary perspective of
"us versus them" or "food versus predator" and refined
that into a multiplicity of terms and labels to give that "airy
nothingness a local habitation and a name" which we call words. As you read these words on
your electronic display (or printed on paper) you likely fail to realize that
the biology that lets you see words has NOT changed from that of our
"caveman ancestors" in over 5000 years. The perceptual skill
that lets you see rocks, trees, clouds, the sky, plants, and animals has evolved
to let you interpret the coded symbols we subconsciously compile into words
and concepts. Dyslexia is commonly described as a comprehension disorder
where a person miscues the identity or sequence of letters and or numbers
resulting in a reduced ability to read and comprehend words. Dyslexia
is normally viewed as a biological condition resulting from neural pathways
improperly transmitting information. Induced Dyslexia is a comprehension disorder caused by misaligned
and/or mis-prescribed glasses, primarily progressive glasses. Progressive glasses, unlike single-vision
lenses, have a continuous range of magnification in the lower half of the
lens that allows the wearer to see close objects from the graduated reduction
in viewing magnification. To see "clearly" the wearer moves
their head to face the object, and then raises or lowers the horizontal angle
of their head to match the magnification necessary to being the object into
focus. While progressive glasses create specific areas of clear vision, at the same time they inherently reduce peripheral vision. Comprehension, however, is also dependent upon peripheral vision which progressive glasses inadvertently minimize with the result being Induced Dyslexia. This page is dedicated to
helping people overcome that problem. Copyright© 2011 Animated-Vision Associates. All Rights Reserved. |
