The functioning of the visual analyzer is very energy-consuming. In the case of decompensation of systemic diseases (including oncological ones), the brain blocks the work of the visual apparatus (sensory and motor parts). The saved resources allow the brain to ensure the continuation of human life for a certain period. It is proposed to artificially disable the visual analyzer (one eye) in the early stages of the oncological process. This should reduce the risk of blindness and irreversible changes in the body in the future. Indications for ophthalmological intervention should be established experimentally.
