4/30/2018

This article from The New York Times discusses a study that suggests it is possible to train the brain to see clearly without the need for reading glasses, even as we age. The study focused on a technique called perceptual learning, which involves training the brain to better process visual stimuli. Participants in the study engaged in simple visual tasks on a computer screen for a set period of time each day and saw significant improvements in their near-far vision. The article also discusses the potential implications of this research for the development of treatments for various eye conditions. Overall, the study suggests that it is possible to improve visual acuity through targeted brain training.
