Post: Re: Measuring diopters

Right, it seems that Bates practice is all about consciously catching yourself doing the wrong thing, and replacing it with doing the right thing instead. The only problem I find is that sometimes I ...

Post: Re: What does Bates mean by seeing worse?

Getting back to this topic, Dave, don't you think that Bates formulation of central fixation as "trying to see eccentric points worse than central" is slightly confusing? It confused myself and I see ...
