Your eye muscles are just like the other muscles in your body.
I had my eyes checked the other day and I asked the doctor about an exersize I had heard of. Hold your finger up in front of your face and continually switch between focussing on the finger and the far distance. The idea was that the eye was a muscle and this would help it just as sit ups (should I ever manage to do any) would help [reduce] my growing gut.
He said it was a good theory, but the muscle in your eyes was 'soft muscle' (I think that was the term) and the difference was that soft muscle wouldn't respond to exersize the way regular muscle would.
As for the Bates method...I'll look it up, but perhaps Onan the Clumsy is already a master of this techniqe.
