Hi I read the book mentioned above. The good points is that it's easy to read and inspiring as you hear people getting better and stresses the one of the most important points which is to try not to wear your glasses. The bad points is it doesn't really stress that strain is the culprit of the blurry vision. He also doesn't give dr bates enough credit. He try's to act as if he is the main one who discovered all of this. In addition I think he is contradictory which makes me somewhat suspect of his book. The reason I say that is if you go to his website he is trying to sell some contraption to improve vision which goes against the concepts in his book. He also states that after he achieved perfect vision, the retinascope said he did not have 20/20 although he actually did, well in my wife's case the retinascope did confirm the improvement and dr bates repeatedly mentions the improvement correlates with retinascope findings. So on other words I think it's a good supplement to give some people confidence by seeing examples of people getting better, but in my opinion it is not a good stand alone source.
Ace1, I have done a lot of reading on seeing.org so far...haven't finished yet, by far, but I'm curious...are you working exclusively with the reading materials between the bates site and the seeing.org site or have you worked with any of the BAVE educators? They mention taking 6 to 10 classes for faster recovery, but that's money (and time) I don't have right now. I'm hopeful that I can find the time to read all the materials between the two sites and work on self-implementation like I'm working on with TMS.
I find it hard to be willing to go without my glasses right now tho. I do it for short periods right now, even at work, but then I catch myself straining to read my computer screen which seems counter-productive. But...like I said, I haven't read all the material yet...perhaps I'm being too ambitious
No I am just doing everything on my own. I bet a teacher would help speed things along, but I'd rather do this myself. Yes the two sites are all I really use really just Dr, Bates' writings, but you have to remember the most important is to remember to relax the mental strain and dont stare or force things to come out and practice reading things at a distance without glasses as much as possible. Also when you look at an object a lot of times we just glance at it expecting to see the whole object at once then quickly move to the next object and do the same thing. Are eyes dont work that way (read about central fixation) So the central theme of TMS is seen again, when we are in a rush, and that is the basic cause of the strain. You have to take your time to see every object and enjoy it, not just as a means to obtain information. enjoy the color, the look and take your time, you will see a difference, but it takes practice and perseverence. You will be tempted to quit on many occasions, but in the long run is were it is worth it.
