Eye correction OR hoax (painful, exercises, glasses, ears)

[tidaldream]

Has anyone found those claims to correct your vision through eye exercise
to be valid?

Have you tried it with success.. no longer need glasses?

Share your experience.

I tried it about 10 years ago--I'm nearsighted.

I got a book with an eyechart and did the exercises several times a day for a month. No improvement whatsoever.

Which isn't really surprising, since the cause of nearsightedness is elongated eyeballs.

I have always wondered about this.

I see ads for this online from time to time and have always wondered if it has helped anyone. I suspect it has.

Maybe someone else out there can offer a success story.

This has been around for a LONG time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bates_method

"Throw away your glasses."

Some time back in the 40s or 50s my parents went to see Aldous Huxley give a talk about how well this method works. It was very painful because he could not read his notes and had to truncate the speech.
The power of true believing is great but was not great enough.

Good story Don.. seeing Adlous Huxley must have been a profound joyfor your folks.
Vision was infused into this poem.

I had been sitting alone with books,
Till doubt was a black disease,
When I heard the cheerful shout of rooks
In the bare, prophetic trees.

Bare trees, prophetic of new birth,
You lift your branches clean and free
To be a beacon to the earth,
A flame of wrath for all to see.

And the rooks in the branches laugh and shout
To those that can hear and understand:
'Walk through the gloomy ways of doubt
With the torch of vision in your hand.'
Aldous Huxley
