photoreading and bates method

[goohsm]

i have found that there are so many common exercises between bates method and photoreading with palming, swinging, mind relaxation etc. but one thing that came up in my mind in that bates claims we can only see very small center area the best clearly and the rest is blur whereas photoreading is a technique that ables you to input the whole words on a page of book into your brain at just one sight of 1~2 seconds. do you think those two mathods contradict each other? or words are still recognizable in any what bates called blur area of vision field.

When I explored Photoreading I picked that up as well. I don't understand either. I do believe the photoreading forum is still active and company that made the product still posts there.
