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. |
