Thread: Introducing Bates method to a friend
Post: Re: Introducing Bates method to a friend

I think that the sungazing is one of Bates' more mainstream views. In the world of optometry, Helmholtz seems to be pretty much unassailable. On the other hand, aversion to sungazing isn't nearly as ...

Hey there, Just keep this in mind. If all myopic people actually felt the strain that they were under many would be in severe pain! One of the problems is that continual strain will eventually fade i...

Post: Re: Pressure behind the eyes

Post: Re: Pressure behind the eyes

Even if the change was 10 mm, it doesn't really matter. The eye would be returning to the shape that it was supposed to have all along.
