Sounds strange. I have heard of the Japanese doing eye excersises to keep thier vision strong, but I have never heard of them for fighting. I know we just sort of concentrate on our opponents neck chest are so we can catch what is going on periferally, and use our sensitivity to follow what are opponent is going to do next.

I have read about some teachers teaching eye exercises to help with eye speed and eye-hand coordination. I believe there may also be some TCM aspects to eye exercises.

i agree that there is probably some TCM and Qigong aspect to eye training, maybe to help with eye problems etc.

But what's the point of training in chi sau then?
