Hi Darrel, and thanks for the comment. I agree about the overuse of dark glasses, which don’t let our eyes adapt to the bright light naturally. I wrote about this here: https://dreamersight.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/giving-a-vision-lesson-for-light-sensitivity/. I think my own problem with bright light right in my eyes has already reduced since I wrote about this a few weeks ago, since the sun is even lower in the sky now and doesn’t seem to bother me as much. I’ve also written about seeing better when there’s not much light, here: https://www.iblindness.org/3153/how-can-i-see-better-in-dim-light/. Although I don’t remember Dr. Bates writing much about seeing in the darkness, though Meir Schneider, the teacher from San Francisco often talks about being able to see well in all levels of illumination. Dr. Bates does write about difficult vision conditions, whether very tiny print or low light, being good for the visual system, as long as you’re relaxed.

It’s good to hear from you. Have a lovely holiday season, and a bright clear start to 2025. Take care, Darrel.
Warmly,
Nancy
