Some times my vision get blurred after zazen. It is as if I got very near sighted and it takes about half a hour before my normal vision returns. What can I do about this?

There is nothing
strange about this, but it is what happens when we do Zazen. The eyes that
perceive the outside world, change their point of focus when sitting Zazen, it
becomes closer. And it takes some time after Zazen for the eyes to return to
their usual perception. If you add any tension to your focus though, then it
takes even longer for your eyes to return to everyday focus. Maybe it is
important to learn how to relax and not force the eyes?
