Re: Eye Exercises (Bates Method)

LGB I would be intersted to know your age, as this would have an effect on the lens in the eye and its ability to change focus. It is true in terms of myopia prevention in kids, that the use of eye exercises (and even low powered convex lenses to relax accommodation) may be far more useful than previously believed - in terms of reducing - or preventing the progression of myopia. Reducing myopia by any significant amount in adults, by eye exercises, has not been proven scientifically. However, just doing the exercises can be good for the eyes as part of its overall focusing and converging function.
