Post: Re: Three cups Accommodation exercise

Thread: Going without glasses is dangerous
Post: Re: Going without glasses is dangerous

I am experiencing a similar kind of frustration, but was rather expecting it so it hasn't hit me as hard. I'm driven to speculate that the reason Bates saw bad outcomes in people who continued to use...

Thread: eye floaters anyone?
Post: Re: eye floaters anyone?

Post: Re: why doesnt sungazing burn your retina?

Incidentally, the reason I am going on about this rather is because that where the Sun is concerned there exists a grave risk of real, disabling, irreversible damage to the eyesight--damage occuring i...

Post: Re: why doesnt sungazing burn your retina?

I had uncomfortable experiences with over-exposure to the sun a few times before I got glasses, and afterwards in situations where I had removed my glasses. For example, while spending a day at the b...
