		<description>you can improve your eyesight by palming and rotating your pupil both clockwise and anti clockwise direction for 15 min daily. moreover, dipping your head into the water tub does help improve your eyesight. In any case, swimming is the best alternate solution.</description>

		<description>You are welcome. I have that book by Corbett, it&#039;s pretty good. She has what seems like hundreds of different ways you can do Bates&#039; own concepts in that book, so it can seem a little overwhelming for a small book. Bates doesn&#039;t even mention a lot of them, but she trained with Bates. Her drills (techniques, not exercises) seem to follow in accord with Bates&#039; own understanding. 

The other book I had recommended, Relearning to See, covers Bates&#039; own ideas in a very straightforward manner, by describing the fundamentals and showing quotes directly from Bates. Corbett&#039;s book is still a very good way to start, she does introduce you to Bates but my personal opinion was that I got a more straightforward, outlined introduction to Bates own ideas through the book Relearning to See.

You should get Corbett&#039;s book anyway. You&#039;ll be fine. Bates did mention using diamond type (fine print) as a technique because very small print is readable within 10 inches only if your eye is not straining, and when you are able to see that close, you find that you are also able to sometimes counteract strain in the distance and see further. 

You don&#039;t need to print in such small text, but small text is still better than large text; do it as small as is comfortable for you. The problem with large text is that you are trying to regard a larger area at once when you read the words, and visual acuity has to do with being able to see the smallest point (detail) possible. By learning how not to strain when you read very small print, you are much less likely to strain when you regard a smaller acuity in the distance. Does this make sense?

I see that you signed up for the forum. That&#039;s great. I made a post called Clear Flash Primer:  http://www.iblindness.org/forum/index.php/topic,425.0.html

It&#039;s pretty much what was taken from this discussion and then some more.</description>

		<description>Thanks a lot Spock. I&#039;ve given a look at the &quot;nutshell&quot; page and it&#039;s really nice. I don&#039;t know if I can easily get Quackenbush&#039;s book but, in the meanwhile, I&#039;d like to know your opinion (if you have any) about a book by Margaret Corbett I found on the web translated into my native language (I&#039;m not English/American); it should be this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Yourself-Better-Sight-Margaret-Corbett/dp/0879800488/sr=1-2/qid=1172578891/ref=sr_1_2/105-1803954-7458043?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books

Maybe I could read this one for now, without buying other books... I also thought about printing it (it&#039;s a PDF) in small characters, since I read about Bates&#039; (?) practices with &quot;micro-letters&quot; or similar stuff... Did I get it right?</description>
