Dear Otis, Thanks for the information! it was very helpful! I tested my vision from 10 feet using a snellen printed from i-see.org. i managed to guess more...
Dear Morgan, It should be clear that I agree that vision-clearing is tough. It takes strong personal resolve. To check the "right" Snellen, do it at 20 feet ...
Thanks for checking your Snellen. That is a "base-line" check. You now know that any "clearing" you will see on that Snellen -- so that you personally will ...

Dear Otis, How r u? I have checked my vision using my snellen chart i received in the bates method book, i currently see: 20/70. This is already a huge...
Dear Morgan, Excellent. At 20/70 you have a "fighting chance" to clear the 20/60, 20/50, 20/40 lines. None of this is ever "easy". It takes a first-rate mind,...
Dear Otis, I have been reading messages in the groups. I read the Nbab (or something similar) post. He says he has 20/40 but then he states he measured this...
Dear Morgan, When I talk to a person -- then I must TRUST that he makes the measurement correctly. That is why I insisted that you read at 20 feet (the ...

Dear Prevention-minded friends, I personally would avoid the use of an astigmatism "cut", provided I pass the DMV 20/40 line. After you get the astigmatism...
Dear Otis, Is it normal to see a sudden fall in clarity of vision? I am aware that clarity varies from day-to-day but today my vision seems terrible. Should...

Dear Otis, Regarding my last email, i was confused. Since i saw a change in visual acuity i automatically assumed it was negative. However, i just read 20/50...
Dear Morgan, I do "harp" on one thing -- and that is to "trust" your Snellen. Often these majority-opinion ODs claim we are "stupid" and "have not a clue" and...

Dear Otis, I have made some steady progress since the last email. I can now read the 20/50 line with some ease in good light and i can even read some of the...
Dear Morgan, That rate of "progress" from 20/100 to 20/50 -- is a suprise. I am very happy for you. But be prepared! This is honestly a SLOW PROCESS! But I...

Dear prevention-minded friends, This child was "caught" at 20/60 BEFORE she was put in to a strong minus. (The minus would have meant permanent loss of distant...
Dear Scientific friends, I can accept that children do some things with their eyes that will "induce" a negative refractive STATE. The only goal for me is to...
