In the last few weeks, following the input of a man who had his vision
destroyed by a wrong lasik procedure, several clients are coming who
want to try the Bates books for the relief of very unpleasant symptoms
they are developing after the surgery.
Mostly, these people are really desperate.
They suffer from pains, migrain, imbalances of any kind, like tremors,
legs that become crippled, arthritis, and all kinds of similar
illnesses.
These people have already made use of many kinds of medical treatments,
spending a lot of money, in the course of five years the amount of
money is huge, fifty thousand eur is the average.
Results?
None.
The people are desperate as ever.
Now the contention is that according to Dr. Bates, any kind of
pathology of the eye, organic or functional, is cured by the perfect
imagination of a black dot.
People will find this very difficult to demonstrate: the black dot DOES
NOT APPEAR in the mind of those who have imperfect sight.
So Bates has some truth in what he says.
But the peculiar trait of these lasiked people is that they have a very
difficult eye defect (an injury created by a surgical operation) which
is not "natural" and was not available in Bates' times (although Dr.
Bates did invent the operation on the cornea to cure myopia, and
quickly abandoned it because of its unsuccessfulness).
These people have a "good" vision, but they have an eccentric fixation,
their central fixation is lost because the eye is still myopic.
The question here is if the self-treatment by rest methods can be
effective in the two directions:
1) emmetropization of the eye
2) repairing of the injury created by the laser under the cornea.
I will post regularly on this board the progress of the people
involved, if they will start their own self-treatment.
Chances are that they won't start the treatment, unfortunately.
According to the book Stories From the Clinic, cases of scratches on
the cornea found a complete cure in the Twenties. We will see if this
can happen today for the laser scratches.
