Thread: Contact lenses
Post: Re: Contact lenses

Great! This kind of positive feedback from what you're doing will keep you motivated and going forward. Yes, Bates has written about patients whose hearing improved with practices like palming. It's a...

The attention leads the eyes. Throwing the gaze around in every direction, thinking you're shifting, is pointless if you're not paying attention to what you're looking at. So yes, just moving your att...

You might think back to see if there was any unusually stressful event preceding the decline, and work through that if so, but in any case you'll still have to do the Bates practices. I wouldn't spend...
