Soft Eyes with Glasses

I heard a rumor once that the framing caused by eyeglass frames limits us to the visual perspective of our parents. I never heard it again, and don't know if it's true, but I find it refreshing sometimes to just do without my spectacles. I definitely experience my glasses' tendency to keep my eyes focused to the front and center, and sometimes I see phantom frames when my glasses are off. Practicing Soft Eyes is a different experience if done without glasses. Before stripping your glasses off, however, consider whether you need them to help prevent falls. We can always sit down to practice Soft Eyes without our glasses. Then we can safely and gently point the face straight ahead and let our attention go up and down, side to side, and diagonally, seeing the whole range with Soft Eyes.
