Just wanted to let you know that I am not dead or handcuffed in prison but was working on several interesting projects and could not post as usual. Now I have met another friend with -17 D of myopic prescription. Although he had abandoned glasses three months earlier and started self-treatment according to Dr. Bates books, when I first met him and the cellular phone rang, he neared it at about 7 cm from his eyes to see who was calling. I resented about this and we started a few games with the Snellen chart. The day after, after having worked for several hours continuously with such a chart, the boy went home in Naples after having read 7/10 at 10 feet, under electric light. Of course the vision was not continuous, but the feat was great for him. Then I have to report that my friend who is under self-treatment curing her -23 D myopic prescription has had her first TRUE flash of PERFECT SIGHT which lasted more than three seconds. She was able to see license plates numbers at 15 meters, but since she could see neatly the embossing of the letters, her vision was much more than that. How you learned men explain this without having to allow the eye to return back in its normal shape by means of external muscles, I do not know.
