In 1903 Bates found 6% myopic in the school he worked with, before starting treatment. In my school I was one of the only few kids with glasses, from kindergarten on through high school. But it was also a rural area.

Was that with the North Dakota and New York classes that he tested the eye chart method on or was it another case that I haven't read about?
I love all the suggestions here. The only thing I would add is to palm for a few seconds at least whenever your eyes feel strained, longer if you can, no matter what anyone thinks. You can simply say your eyes need a break and this helps, and you may turn someone else on to NVI! It is not good for you to "push through" eyestrain, believe me. I'm taking a guess that this is exactly why your vision started to decline.

Fiat, your first priority is to take care of yourself, making sure you have the environment you need to be safe and healthy. There's no need to try to convert anyone else, and I usually don't offer any explanations unless I'm asked. If the person is confrontational "Why don't you just get glasses?", or defensive because they are wearing strong glasses, I gently explain that I am trying a healthier alternative, with no long explanations. I only "push back" if they really try to make me agree with them which I won't do. My focus is on myself and my own healing, and if I can teach interested receptive others, great. Feel how the person comes across and how they interact with you, and you'll know the most helpful way to act for both of you.
