Post: Re: I'm Back!

Happy New Year and Welcome Back! It's better late than never. :) If I may offer a piece of advice: It's very difficult to consistently practice the Bates method unless you're very passionate about it...

I suspect that this has something to do with the so-called "pinhole effect". I forget the exact mechanics of it, but it's a sort of artificial effect and probably doesn't have too much to do with the ...

Thread: Near point stress
Post: Re: Near point stress

That's actually an interesting question. What I'm unsure about is whether there is such a thing as "far point strain". I actually don't understand much at all about farsightedness, but if I recall, th...

I believe that some people were talking about this in the "Other Eyesight Topics" section. Maybe you could check the thread out.

Thread: Straining at the Near-Point?
Post: Re: Straining at the Near-Point?

@Andrea Major: Thanks for the clarification. Straining at the near point seems to be a bit paradoxical, yet it seems to work to some extent. It's a great relief to know that I don't need to fear hyper...

Thread: Straining at the Near-Point?
Post: Straining at the Near-Point?

Okay, so I was reading Bates' book and came upon a passage where he talks about the eye "under adverse conditions". He mentions that straining to see fine print can be beneficial to myopes. This got m...

It is likely a sign of strain. However, recognizing and becoming aware of the strain is usually a good first step in vision improvement. Only after you identify the strain can you do something to prev...

Exactly. I actually find that it's quite relaxing to just sort of "tune in" to the background sound and not think about anything else. It's VERY difficult, but also very rewarding when done correctly....

It looks a bit fishy to me. There doesn't appear to be much of an explanation on what it is or how it works, and there's money involved. Aside from that, there is nothing to judge whether or not it co...

Exactly what I found out recently. I wouldn't necessarily call it "comprehensive" though. If Bates makes you figure it out, it means that he was unable to express some of his thoughts into words (whic...

More than likely the strain you feel is the chronic strain that you have had for a while and have not noticed. Try not to focus on the strain and instead imagine something nice. If you can relax yours...

I'm not completely sure, but if your vision is poor enough, it will be difficult to notice oppositional movement from smaller shifts. Perhaps if you increase the length of the shift, you will be able ...

I'm not so convinced that it does. While I know that a sign of normal vision is the ability to see things in 3-D (more so than those with poor vision), I'm not so sure that you can improve that direct...
