Post: Re: Curing myopia with the Snellen test card

Vary your distances, and yes, move back as you feel more comfortable. Straining to see from too far away won't help (I did it for years and made little progress.) Start where you can see a few lines p...

Kids can pick up on the habits of visual strain from their teachers (and parents!) and adopt them as their own.

It's my understanding that Robert Lichtman is revising his Effortless Vision site, that it is not "dead" at all. Let's not spread rumors! The last I heard from him he was working on a book, so I'm loo...

One thing that pervades all your posts is the misunderstanding that the Bates Method is a formula: do step 1 and 2, and result X will always happen. It's not like that. People and their vision are dif...

Forward motion probably helps because it makes you more aware of the periphery (since it's moving past and behind you as you move forward). This is good! Bates' central fixation is seeing the central ...
