Thread: Paying Attention to the Peripheral
Post: Re: Paying Attention to the Peripheral

@hammer: Your ideas seem very reasonable. I believe Bates himself said that if any one exercise causes strain for the eyes, it should be discarded after a few trials. It seems to me that quite a few p...

@otto: Thanks for the observation! I've also found it nice to count breaths, although I seem to be even more distraction-prone than you; I count to ten. I should also mention that breathing has helped...

Post: Re: May I ask of the Bate Method?

@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...

Yes, I tend to spend as much of my free time as I can doing these exercises, even spending time when I should be doing other (less important) stuff. Incidentally, I'd like to say that I had a moment ...

1. Okay, I've been doing quite a bit of swinging, even at the risk of looking like a lunatic (credit goes to 2xtreme2fit for the comparison). I can't say that I've noticed much improvement in vision, ...

Well, these forums are as close as you can get to having someone in your head. :D I honestly don't know what to think about the pinhole glasses. Perhaps someone else has a stronger opinion.

Post: Re: Vision Journal- I REALLY NEED ENCOURAGEMENT!

Are some of those lines copied from other posts? They look familiar... The CYL I believe is a measure of astigmatism or something. 0.25 isn't much, considering that astigmatism is quite difficult to ...
