    Hi Dan,

    I too have explored the Bates method and noticed some similarities
    between Bates and Bardon. Based on my limited experience, I've found
    that many aspects of the mental exercises coincide with aspects of
    the Bates method. For instance, Bates' idea that you can only see or
    think of one thing clearly at a time is similar in some respects to
    thought discipline: my mind is always all over the place and I find
    that when I am more in the present, this eases stress on my eyes and
    vision as well. The subtext being that this only works if you are
    not exerting effort; Bates talks about "voluntary" and "involuntary
    concentration," the former being unhealthy because it involves
    forcing the mind, which is counterproductive and generates tension.
    Overall, it seems to me from my reading and experience that the
    relaxing and disciplining of the mind is strongly correlated to the
    restoration of good vision.

    I don't know anything about the Hermetic view of eyesight loss per se
    so I'll stop there in case this wasn't where you're wanting to go
    with your question.

    David
