I'll risk sounding dumb, but I think that progress comes as quickly as you believe it will. If you don't really believe in it, it might never happen no matter how dedicated you are to the Bates method...

A clarification: We are talking about putting the fine print close to the eyes as in, "so close that it's touching your nose" close? If that's the case, then I think I understand; if not, then I great...

I see. I seem to see best or near-best when the fine print is between two and five inches from my eyes. Is that normal? Further out than seven or eight inches and my nearsightedness starts to show. An...

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...

Interesting question. For me, the reason for my motivation has changed over time. The one that comes to mind first is just the thought of 20/20 vision. When I realized how dependent I was on glasses a...
