Q. After leaving off my glasses and practicing the methods
advocated in your magazine for six months, I went to the oculist who
gave me glasses eleven years ago to have my eyes re-examined. He said
the astigmatism was exactly what it was eleven years ago, but that
there had been some improvement in my near-sightedness. I am sending
you the prescriptions, old and new. I apparently see better than when
I took off my glasses, and there are times when I see letters
measuring 3/32nds of an inch in height at a distance of ten feet. This
lasts until I wink, when the letters become blurred and
indistinguishable. I would like to ask the following questions: 1.
Could there have been an improvement in the astigmatism without the
oculist's observing it? 2. What is the percentage of improvement in
each eye? 3. In your experience, when astigmatism has been cured, how
does it go—all at once, or gradually? 4. Do you think I have made
enough progress to warrant my continuing, or should I go back to
glasses, which always gave me comfort, and leave perfect eyesight for
those more easily cured? G. H. A.
A. 1. Yes. During the examination you may have been under a
strain. 2. It is impossible to judge of your improvement by comparing
your glasses, because the refraction is continually changing. 3. It
may go in either way. 4. Yes. Your trouble is so slight that I do not
understand why it should take you so long to correct it.
Q. After being out in the bright sunlight everything looks
intensely black to me indoors. Is this a natural consequence of the
exposure to bright light, or does the normal eye not experience it?
L. K.
A. Many persons with imperfect sight, and also persons with
ordinarily normal sight suffer in the way you describe after going
indoors out of the bright sunlight, and the trouble can be relieved by
any method which brings about a complete relief of strain.
Q. What is the quickest cure for inability to read without glasses
on account of advancing years? J. L. C.
A. Close the eyes and remember a small letter of the alphabet
perfectly. Open the eyes, and at twelve inches, look at a corner of a
card showing a specimen of diamond type, remembering the letter as
well as you can. Close the eyes or palm, and remember the letter
better. Alternately remember it with the eyes open (and looking at the
corner of the card) and closed, until the memory with the eyes open
and closed is nearly equal. Then look between the lines and do the
same thing. In this way some patients become able in half an hour to
read the letters on the card. Others require days, weeks, or longer.
Q. Is it possible to become able to read without glasses after the
extraction of cataract? A. C.
A. Yes. Accommodation is brought about by a lengthening of the
eyeball through the action of a pair of muscles on the outside. If the
patient is able to look at a printed page without effort or strain,
the eyeball will lengthen sufficiently to compensate for the loss of
the lens.

Snellen Test Cards
——
There should be a Snellen test card in every family and in every
school classroom. When properly used it always improves the sight even
when it is already normal. Children or adults with errors of
refraction, if they have never worn glasses, are cured simply by
reading every day the smallest letters they can see at a distance of
ten, fifteen, or twenty feet.

Is this another n=1 example, Uncle Otie?
The only time much should be read into those is when evaluating what
an idiot you are.
You're welcome.

MORE video?
You truly need to get out more.
For a guy who is pathologically worried (and lying) about myopia, you
certainly have a litany of bad habits, don't you?
What an idiot you are, Otis.

Perhaps you'll tell us how you KNOW this works.
As soon as hell freezes over.
