My experience of the chart is similar to yours, with only the big top letters clear at first & my needing to give it time for the lower ones to be visible. Patience is essential -- if I don't go s...

Post: Re: improved in 15 minutes..a miracle in my life..

Handa, You said it yourself -- when your mood is happy & you are relaxed, the flashes come. The "secret" to Bates work is to let go of strain so you'll be relaxed! As far as remembering black, as ...

Bates wrote that watching "moving pictures" helped the eyesight, for many of the same reasons. He suggested watching a movie a second time if possible since that would be even more relaxing, as you kn...

Mike, congratulations on your progress. Yes, seeing clear flashes can be exhilarating -- know this is your natural vision. Let yourself blink naturally, every 2 or 3 seconds; not doing that might be p...

I haven't contributed to this topic sooner because I have limited personal experience with plus lenses, since just doing without my fairly strong minus glasses has the same effect on my vision. I boug...

I can't put my finger on 1 single thing I'm doing that has lessened my floaters & pulverized the big one. I do Bates work all day long, the chart at least twice, palming, sunning as much as I can ...

Post: Re: Floaters

Another thought: when you try to look at something, your eye moves to focus on it. So if what you're trying to focus on is part of the inside of your eyes, when you move your gaze to that spot, the fl...

It sounds to me like you might be staring in your sleep, i.e. not moving your eyes, so they're getting all dried out. Practice some swings before you go to bed, & make sure you do a lot of shiftin...
