Lex, to me if something clears up, it counts as a clear flash, however brief or long-lasting it is. I don't think someone with normal sight would dismiss a clear image with "Oh, I guess I didn't see t...

Thread: Am i relaxing?
Post: Re: Am i relaxing?

Fiat is right that sun is good for your eyes, but of course if you're straining that's not good. Strain is the opposite of being relaxed, and you want to identify when and how you do it so you can let...

Thread: Am i right?

Yup. I wore -10 lenses for longer than I care to admit (decades) and a big part of my improvement was learning to see the true size of things. When I took the lenses off originally, since the distant ...

Thread: Amblyopia vision problem
Post: Re: Amblyopia vision problem

Healthy vision varies all the time, which is one big reason glasses are so unhealthy as they try to rigidly lock the eyes into only that prescription. This is especially true of astigmatism, which you...

Thread: An Experience With Memory Relieving Pain
Post: RE: An Experience With Memory Relieving Pain

Yes! Fighting the pain is resistance, straining, making the muscles tense. This is just like straining against the blur in eyesight improvement. Relax and notice, and just let it be as it is, and ofte...

Let us know, and don't push too hard. People are sometimes surprisingly resistant to change habits that everyone else can see are bad for them. I'm guessing the Lasik just drove the real problem which...

I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like some kind of major straining behavior showing up in his body. You know the Lasik didn't "fix" whatever made his eyesight bad, just postponed the inevitable, so now...

It's pretty hard to summarize the Bates method in just one key point. I guess that would be "relaxed attention". Don't try to see (let go of end-gaining), just let the clear images come into your visu...

When you don't need to see with crystal clarity, wear a reduced prescription or none at all. Your goal is to relax and eliminate straining to see, and the stronger the correction, the more your visual...

Yes -- this is Esther's main business (being a Bates teacher). Contact her to find out how much. I don't even want to guess, or maybe it's on her site. It was several years ago when I worked with it.
