Hyperopia would reflect a fear of that which we see as distant, while myopia would indicate insecurity about future changes. In the case of presbyopia, it is linked to the difficulty of accepting the passage of time and the present reality. This approach invites us to review what emotions lie behind each visual difficulty, assuming that reconciling with oneself is an essential part of overall health.
Fear, Aging, and Conflicts: An Emotional Perspective on Visual Health
Vision, besides being the primary sense to interact with the world around us, is deeply linked to our identity and interpersonal relationships. When there are fears, anxieties, or emotional blockages, it is possible for the ability to see clearly—physically or symbolically—to be affected.
In biodecoding, certain vision problems are associated with fears toward the present (what is near), towards the future (what is distant), or the past (aspects we prefer not to see).
The aim is to facilitate the awareness of these emotions and unblock them. Through genuine self-knowledge, this discipline points out the possibility of alleviating or even transforming the physical condition derived from internal tensions.
Hyperopia: Distant Fear and the Need to Nullify the Near
Emotional Meaning
Hyperopia is a refractive error where the eye does not correctly focus on near objects, causing blurry vision at a short distance.
From the perspective of biodecoding, the central conflict is related to the fear of everything that is distant, be it in space or in the future. At the same time, it shows a tendency to ignore what is happening in our immediate surroundings or even within ourselves.
Some people with hyperopia might perceive that danger “comes from afar” and feel the need to be on constant alert, as if they were sentinels watching over a threatening horizon. This focus on what is distant is complemented by an act of deliberately, either consciously or unconsciously, relegating attention from personal matters of the present.
Possible Conflicts
- Fear of the future: anguish about the passage of time, aging, or inevitable changes.
- Rejection of the near: difficulty confronting one’s own reality, internal emotions, or immediate coexistence.
- Need to escape: a desire to flee from daily obligations, seeking refuge in fantasies or long-term plans.
Hyperopia calls for a reflection on the relevance of the present life and the importance of inhabiting each moment with serenity.
Understanding that existence is made up of immediate steps and accepting them can reduce that latent fear. Learning to value nearby emotions and circumstances—family, health, internal feelings—helps relieve the tension.
This process of change involves not only emotional work but also the search for tools that allow us to become aware of our everyday reality.
Myopia: The Fear of What is to Come
Emotional Meaning
Myopia makes it difficult to see distant objects. According to biodecoding, this reflects a fear of what is “distant,” understanding “distant” as the future or external circumstances that escape our immediate control.
The “danger” can be symbolically experienced as events that threaten present stability. In wanting to maintain the security of what is known, the mind prefers to concentrate on the near and avoid everything else.
There is also the possibility that myopia is influenced by a reluctance to see what has gone away or what is out of our reach. Sometimes, this problem arises after the departure of a loved one or the experience of an event that disrupted the perception of security.
Possible Conflicts
- Fear of uncertainty: a rejection of imagining or projecting a future that might break the peace of the current moment.
- Fear of being independent: difficulty stepping out of the comfort zone and taking on adult or professional responsibilities.
- Blockage in the face of radical changes: a strong aversion to observing new circumstances or perspectives that feel threatening.
To counteract this pattern, it is suggested to confront uncertainty and personal responsibility. Recognizing that not everything that is to come is dangerous and that change can be an opportunity helps dissolve these fears.
Additionally, developing self-confidence and surrounding oneself with a supportive environment—family, friends, or professionals—facilitates the process of opening up to a future that stops being synonymous with anxiety.
Presbyopia: Fear of the Present and the Future
Emotional Meaning
Presbyopia, characterized by the difficulty of focusing on near objects in older ages, is associated with a fear of the present, the passage of time, and aging.
The act of “not seeing closely” symbolizes a rejection of facing the current reality. Those who live with presbyopia may center their attention on distant or futuristic external scenarios, avoiding to focus on the worries and challenges that exist now.
It is common for it to appear in stages of life when important transformations occur, such as the departure of children, retirement, or typical age-related health changes. The fear of aging, falling ill, or feeling that the future is uncertain fuels the need to evade the present.
Possible Conflicts
- Discomfort with age: the feeling that time steals possibilities or imposes limitations.
- Denial of immediate reality: acting as if current problems did not exist by focusing on distant worries.
- Personal insecurity: the belief that maturity diminishes worth, beauty, or the capacity to enjoy life.
According to biodecoding, presbyopia invites one to embrace the process of aging with a positive attitude. It is about accepting physical and emotional changes as a natural part of growing older while developing a sense of self-care and self-acceptance.
Opening up to therapies, support groups, or new activities suitable to the life stage one is experiencing can be beneficial. Furthermore, cultivating mindful presence, rather than living with an excessive focus on an uncertain future, helps transform one’s outlook and find fulfillment in everyday life.
Integrating Biodecoding into Everyday Life
Recognizing Emotions and Patterns
Before associating any condition with an emotional conflict, it is fundamental to undergo an adequate clinical evaluation. Ophthalmological exams and specialized medical follow-up are essential to diagnose and effectively treat conditions like hyperopia, myopia, or presbyopia.
However, biodecoding does not seek to replace medical science, but rather to complement the pursuit of well-being. The first step to integrating this approach is to recognize the emotional patterns present in daily life: Is there a constant tendency to worry about the future? Is introspection avoided? Are immediate conflicts being fled?
Self-Reflection Exercises
- Observation Journal: dedicate a few minutes each day to record thoughts, fears, or situations that have generated tension.
- Positive Visualization: close your eyes and evoke comforting images of the present. Imagine a future with more serenity and less apprehension.
- Relaxation Practices: incorporating techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation can help deactivate the constant alert response that affects vision.
In any of the three cases—hyperopia, myopia, or presbyopia—biodecoding promotes an internal dialogue that is gentle, without judgments or reproaches. Accepting emotions does not imply resigning oneself to living in anguish; on the contrary, knowing and allowing them is the first step to releasing the burden they carry.
Looking Inward Is as Important as Observing the Horizon
Biodecoding offers an invitation to contemplate the emotional meaning of the symptoms or conditions we experience.
Understanding hyperopia as an act of constant vigilance, myopia as a rejection of what is projected beyond the immediate, or presbyopia as a fear of the present and the passage of time reminds us of the close relationship between mind and body.
Although it is a complementary approach to conventional medicine, its proposal to examine emotional origins provides a pathway of self-knowledge and healing. Finding balance and serenity involves embracing life as it is, accepting changes, and cultivating an integral vision of the being.
