In high school I began to experience distance blur after doing close work or reading. We never had regular eye exams, and I never told my parents, because I thought they would send me for one, and I would need...

I don't know if this is possible but I want to adjust my prescription so that I am within the legal driving range. I am legally required to wear glasses to drive. Is there a way to do this myself...

I don't know about the science of this, but I think it is complex and every case is different, so best to take the advice of your optometrist. Please be careful if you have young children. My son was prescribed...

Thanks, Gwen! Just thinking of you gave me a big smile, so you've already helped. 🙂 When they suspended my original Facebook account, then the new one I just set up (which has since been reinstated), it hit me harder...

Thanks as always, Nancy. Don't let the naysayers grind you down (paraphrasing the Handmaid's Tale). Love, Gwen

Hi Darrel! Thanks so much for reading, and especially for commenting. Yes, I enjoy finding my way around the house in the early morning before sunrise without the lights on inside. The sparkling holiday lights delight me. I've seen photos...

What a fascinating article, Nancy! Although I don't have a problem with bright sunlight, I think psychologically I am really a winter person, Yet I know that strong light is good for me and during the summer I get plenty...

Hi Darrel, and thanks! I hope your sister benefits from my words. I don't think that classmate is holding onto any resentment toward me from this, if she even remembers it. I didn't say anything to her at the time,...

Great article, Nancy! Personally dry eyes are not an issue for me; however, my sister does indeed suffer from dry eyes and I will forward your article to her. Thanks so much! Please be at peace for judging the classmate...

Thad, yes, a short cut would be nice! 🙂 What works for me is gratitude for what I HAVE accomplished (I’m definitely not where I was!), and taking baby steps to keep going forward. Sometimes even a little bit more...

Hi Janine, and holiday blessings to you too. Here's hoping you are well. Yes, our vision did not evolve with all this capability to only look straight ahead at a screen! 🙂 Nature may be the best vision practice of...

Thx Nancy for the practical tip to look left-right, up-down, near-far.. Blessings to All in the new year!

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...

That's so interesting, Nancy! I notice that in my town in Carmarthenshire, Wales, I see a lot of people of all ages wearing dark glasses,however, in spite of myopia I have rarely if ever been bothered by strong light. What...

Thank you so much for your in depth review! I just purchased the book and reading your post makes me very curious,which I believe is a great start for a new journey ⚘

Hello. I am just here for fun

Is there any proof that all those stories of curing patients’ eyesight actually occurred? I wonder because there just seems to be such a great divide between all the success Bates supposedly had back in the day, and the complete...

Thanks for reading, Ajmera, and especially for commenting. This message seems so obvious to me now, yet it took me many years to understand it. Thanks for doing your part to spread the relaxation and awareness and good habits and...

Insightful. Self awareness is the key. Thank you

Hi Darrel, and happy 2024 to you too! Thanks for the reminder of Dr. Bates' words. What a wise man he was! I shoveled a lot of snow today, and deliberately put myself in that "one shovel-full at a time"...
