I've read the Sarno books, as well as Fred Amir's book. I've actually read all of them at least twice. Are there any other TMS books out there that are worth their salt? I'm looking for books that stay with Sarno's theory and don't stray off the path. Also in Fred Amir's Recovery book he mentions a book on eyesight and tension by Dr. William Bates. I was wondering if anyone has read it, and what they think about it. Amir mentions Bates talked about the eyes like Sarno has talked about the back as far as the effects of tension. Thanks in advance and good luck. |

Dear Irish Jimmy,
I have heard of Bates but have not read any of his works. I have read several books by Dr. Robert-Michael Kaplan that I found very inspiring and I believe are compatible with TMS philosophy. They are _THE POWER BEHIND YOUR EYES_ and _SEEING WITHOUT GLASSES: IMPROVING YOUR VISION NATURALLY_. His web site is www.beyond2020vision.com/eye.
The books have vision exercises and deal with emotions and their effect on vision. It's been about five years since I've read them but I feel they would be helpful to anyone with vision concerns who want to go a natural route. I saw an eye doctor in North Cal. who practices along these principles. It's called Behavioral Optometry. I did a few sessions with a vision therapist. They use various devices for exercising the eyes. I am 56 and I feel my vision is excellent. I did the exercises for a while but like my Egoscue exercises, I wasn't in enough need to continue. I find that tennis is now my eye exercise. I only use reading glasses for very fine print or if I'm very tired and don't feel like warming up my eye balls to read a few lines. One thing I do recall that struck me from Kaplan's books is that he said our eyes were not developed to do more than two hours of close up work a day. |
