DEEP DIVE - REGION 22

The Eye Bulletproofing Protocol.

Twenty-five minutes across your day, ten practices, four weeks. Your eye muscles are muscles - trainable, tirable, restorable. Convergence training is clinically proven to rebuild comfortable close-up teamwork; focus agility, tracking, and blink habits transform screen-day comfort. Consistency turns strained into effortless.

The 25-minute flow

All-day habits: 20-20-20 -> blink sets. Daily sets: palming -> near-far jumps -> pencil push-ups -> Brock string -> pursuits -> saccades -> peripheral wakeup. Evenings: the sunset gaze.

Honest arc: comfort improves in days, teamwork in weeks; formal convergence programs run about twelve - keep rolling past week four.

When to bring it to us instead

Sudden vision loss, new flashes or a curtain of floaters, or double vision that arrives out of nowhere: those are same-day urgent eye care - always.
