How to Improve the Sight by Means of the Imagination: No. 2

In a recent issue directions were given for improving the vision
by the aid of the imagination. According to this method the patient
ascertains what a letter is by imagining each of the four sides to be
straight, curved, or open, and noting the effect of each guess upon
the imagined swing of the letter. Another method which has succeeded
even better with many patients is to judge the correctness of the
guess by observing its effect on the appearance of the letter.
Look at a letter which can be seen only as a gray spot, and
imagine the top is straight. If the guess is right, the spot will
probably become blacker; if it is wrong, the spot may become fainter
or disappear. If no difference is apparent, rest the eyes by looking
away, closing, or palming, and try again.
In many cases, when one side has been imagined correctly, the
whole letter will come out. If it does not, proceed to imagine the
other sides as above directed. If, when all four sides have been
imagined correctly, a letter does not come out, palm and repeat.
One can even bring out a letter that one cannot see at all in this
way. Look at a line of letters which cannot be seen, and imagine the
top of the first letter to be straight. If the guess is correct, the
line may become apparent, and by continued practice the letter may
come out clearly enough to be distinguished.

Check with prevention-minded optometrists if you wish to avoid entry
into a negative status.

Out of idle curiosity, do THEY have ANY evidence that any method they
use works any better than placebo?

You've never offered any. I find that rather curious.

a) Highly qualified? You've personally met with this doctor, I take
it? Maybe you'd like to elaborate, a bit, about his/her
qualifications?

b) Qualified. Hm. More ad hominem arguments from you. Never any
evidence, though. Neither safety NOR efficacy (as compared to
placebo).

Seems odd, huh (to anybody that doesn't know -- after years and years
-- what an idiot you are)?
