Oleg, you are totally off-topic. Again, I am asking has anyone improved their vision by practicing the Bates methods, whilst still wearing glasses, or know anyone who did. Aren't you curious to know...

Post: Re: Help in reducing child's myopia

Hi Otis, Thanks for the detailed explanation. You referred to my son as having 20/60 vision, while I measured it to be about 20/80 to 20/100. Or are you referring to something else? Thanks.

One question: when my child is looking at a distant object and it's blur, what should he do? Ignore it? Edge it? Or just ask me what it is? Thanks.

If he's sitting on the chair, it's 12 to 13 inches away. However, he likes to lay down on the floor on his elbows and read, so it's about 8 - 10 inches away, which is the length of his upper arm. I ...
