1. Central fixation is worse when you're not relaxed. I know Bates wrote that in his book, but I didn't really think about it much until I demonstrated it to myself (by accident) today. So, relaxation...

Don't have much time, so quick note to myself: Blinking is the key. I think that I've been much less "tired" lately because of my practice in blinking and shifting. It turns out that I wasn't ever re...

I'd actually never thought of that before. What do you mean by "change the eyechart"? Do you mean that I should get a new one or move the old one around? I tend to use the Snellen for only a few minu...

Tried some more central fixation "look better, look worse" throughout the day, this time focusing on blinking and relaxation while doing it. I'll definitely say that there's improvement, but I still f...

You do not need to palm 24/7, although generally speaking, the more frequently and longer you palm, the better it is for your eyes. The idea is that at some point, this relaxation from palming can car...

@Zulfadhli: I'm sorry if I confused you. Depending on how you look at it, relaxation can be a habit or an exercise. Palming would be an example of a specific relaxation exercise, but if you can take w...
