Thread: Sore eyes when looking into distance
Post: Re: Sore eyes when looking into distance

I think this would be a good time to remind new users that we don't dispense medical advice here. Bates is an educational approach, but for problems like red eyes or stinging, it sounds like you shou...

Thread: The Swing?
Post: Re: The Swing?

David, I respectfully disagree with you on the swing mostly being about depth perception. Perceiving the universal swing improves my vision even when looking at largely two-dimensional things such as ...

Thread: Four habits?
Post: Re: Four habits?

Also, Bates did not say anything about doing "centralization." Central fixation is something that you have if you have relaxation. It's not something you do. The way to improve eyesight is to figur...

Post: Re: Something to try when shifting fails

Sorry, I haven't read the book you mentioned, so I don't know enough about "open focus" to say anything either for or against it. Sounds interesting, though.

The language on this forum often suggests that there's something mystical about vision improvement. To give an example, people talk about "clear flashes" as though they were some kind of spiritual exp...
