Sorrisi I agree with Otto - you are an angel. Don't worry about giving too much detail. I started around the same time as yourself but from a worse baseline and while there sometimes seem to be less...

Thread: Thinking of a Point
Post: Re: Thinking of a Point

I just tried this and it worked a treat. Just a tiny point, smaller even than a full stop (period). I shut my eyes for 20 secs (impatience, impatience) and then just looked. A letter's too big to see,...

Thread: When watching football
Post: Re: When watching football

Just to clarify my last post, the small size of the soccer players on the screen is a big advantage. Sorrisi once posted about being able to see the smaller letters on the chart clearly but having pr...

Hi Sean I read your clarification and re-read your initial posts - they are excellent. I note that David has posted on his blog about not consciously moving the eyes. Now I think back to my first cl...

Post: Re: When watching football

Sean If you don't mind, could you attempt an explanation as to how you differ from imagining details in the blur, which you attribute to David (see your last post)? All clarification helps, I find.

David, that's a real coincidence. This morning I was looking at the chart, focussing on detail, and it wasn't responding as I'd hoped (yesterday was great). And then I thought to myself: how am I thin...

David, I am still working away at this and making progress. I find your amendments helpful. Your reference to it being in a way a 'balancing act' seems to be true in my experience. And I agree with th...

Hi Sean My son is football mad and I like to watch it with him. I have posted about this here too in the past. In my case what I call football is known to others as soccer. Watching football on the ...

Thread: what made you stop?
Post: Re: what made you stop?

I had no choice in the matter. I'm now 49 and I've worn glasses since I was 10. They always give hyper-clear vision for about 2 days max. and then the blur returns. (This always felt like a mild re...

I've often thought of that wiki quote. I suppose the entry is the same as when I read it 3 years ago. It's really very disheartening for a beginner. I have always thought that if 'received wisdom' or ...

Thanks for your detailed reply, Andrew. I've printed it off and will read through it at leisure. Yes, 'horns of a dilemma', that's the phrase I was trying to remember.

I think my last post is saying much the same as Deliverance above. Try and keep it up over the weekend, Deliverance, and I'll sdo the same and we can compare notes next week.

Post: Re: black dot
