Question: Nowadays many children and young people have visual impairments which according to doctors are connected to the use of gadgets, (phones, iPads and computers). It is difficult to imagine modern life without computers, mobile phones, etc. Many eye diseases that used to only come in an elderly age now appear at younger ages. How do you preserve your eyesight and eye health without giving up gadgets? Does it come from gadget abuse or are there spiritual reasons?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2023 Kazakhstan Conference.
No, there are not spiritual reasons, there are practical physical reasons. It is actually fairly simple to describe it and you imagine what you are doing when you are looking at a screen. Your eyes are focusing at a fairly close distance. When you are not using a screen and are participating in various daily activities your eyes are often focused further away from you at a greater distance and there is more variation in the distance where your eyes are focused. If you are using a computer screen that is 50 centimeters away from your eyes and you are working on this computer eight hours a day for five days a week and perhaps even in your free time you are using a computer then your eyes can get sort of stuck or locked in fixating or tuning in to that particular distance.
When you then get up from the computer and focus at a longer distance it is difficult for your eyes to adjust. What you can do to overcome this problem is to use various exercises that are available out there to focus your eyes at different distances or you can simply make a habit out of when you are not on the computer, for example if you are taking a walk you focus on something far away and you keep your eyes focused on that for some time while you are walking, of course still paying attention to where you are setting your feet so you do not trip over something. But you also want to vary the distance that your eyes are focused at, so that they can maintain some flexibility.
