        ——
        Discard Glasses
        ——
    Easy to say, something else to do. But it is a fact that no one
can be cured without glasses and wear glasses at the same time.
    This is a fact that one should keep in mind. It may help to give
one backbone sufficient to do the right thing. I know how difficult it
is from personal experience. I suppose I have as much originality, if
not more, than the average person. It required a year before I was
convinced that my eyes could not be cured unless I stopped wearing
glasses. I could not wear them even for emergencies without suffering
a relapse.
    Patients who are really anxious to be cured can discard glasses
and obtain benefit almost from the start. Wearing of glasses becomes a
fixed habit. The idea of going without them is a shock. The honest
determination to do all that is possible to be done for a cure, makes
it easy or easier to discard glasses at once.  Patients tell me that
after they have discarded their glasses for a few days they do not
feel as uncomfortable as they expected.
    Do not use opera glasses. Do not use a magnifying glass for any
purpose.
    It is very natural that one should hesitate to discard glasses
after he has worn them for many years and obtained what seems
considerable benefit. It may help to read what I have published about
glasses. Most of the discomforts of the eyes are largely functional or
nervous and not due to any real or organic trouble with the eyes. All
the symptoms of discomfort are accompanied by a strain which produces
a wrong focus of the eyes called myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism or
presbyopia. Glasses may correct the wrong focus produced by the
strain, but they do not always, because the eyes are not always
strained to fit glasses accurately. While wearing glasses in order to
see, one has to strain or, by an effort, squeeze the eye ball out of
shape and it is impossible therefore, to obtain relaxation and see
with glasses.
    If one can understand what I have just stated one can realize the
necessity of discarding glasses in order to obtain a cure. I feel that
the facts should be emphasized and the patient made to understand the
necessity of discarding glasses. This makes it easier for the patient
to do without glasses.
    Do not argue with yourself about the matter. When you go to a
doctor you expect to take his medicine even though you may not know
what it is or how it is going to act. When patients come to me for
relief I say, "Discard your glasses and you can be cured."
    If they are wise they do as I say without any talk.

As you all know, there’s currently a heated debate in the sci news
groups about what Charles Darwin really said about the evolution of
the eye.
<
It’s time this matter is cleared up — simply and concisely — once
and for all.
<
Actually, I thought I had ended all the confusion back on Saturday,
May 11, 1996, when a pseudoscientist named Michael Clark accused me of
misquoting Darwin. He had the balls to say I used only a portion of
Darwin’s quote.
<
http://eyemakeart.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/human-eye-anatomy-diagr…
<
=====================================
<
Here’s what I said:
<
“To suppose that the eye  (with so many parts all working
together)  . . .  could have been formed by natural  selection seems,
I freely confess, absurd
in the highest degree."
<
======================================
<
http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/uploads/human-eye.jpg
<
Here’s what Charles Darwin REALLY said:
<
    "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for
adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different
amounts of light,
and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could
have been formed by natural
selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree. When
it was first said that the sun stood still and the world turned round,
the common sense of mankind declared the doctrine false; but
the old saying of Vox populi, vox Dei, as every philosopher knows,
cannot be trusted in science. Reason tells me, that if numerous
gradations from
a simple and imperfect eye to one complex and perfect can be shown to
exist, each grade being useful to its possessor, as is certainly the
case;
if further, the eye ever varies and the variations be inherited, as is
likewise certainly the case and if
such variations should be useful to any animal under changing
conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect
and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though
insuperable
by our imagination, should not be considered as subversive of the
theory. How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light, hardly concerns us
more than how life itself originated; but I may remark that, as some
of the lowest organisms, in which nerves cannot be
detected, are capable of perceiving light, it does not seem impossible
that certain sensitive elements in their barecode should become
aggregated and developed into nerves, endowed with this special
sensibility."
<
>               Darwin, 1859, _The Origin of Species

<
================================
<
I thought I said what Darwin had said but David Ian Greig said what I
said wasn’t what Darwin really had said because he said Darwin had
more to say than what I said he had said, then Steve Vickers of the
UK
butts in and says HE knows what Darwin really said, claiming what I
said he said wasn’t what Darwin really had said, so I said, ‘Okay,
I’ll say what they say about what Darwin really said, since I suppose
that this is indeed what he had said, even though I really don’t know
for sure if he had said it,  but this is what
they say he had said.
 >
=======================================
<
Nice little song and dance, there, Zippy. Can you balance a ball on
your nose?      – Michael Clark
<
Up your’s, Douche Brain!
<
(Folks, excuse the interruption!)
<
==============================
<
Actually,  it really doesn’t matter what Darwin had said or what these
fellas said he had said — or what they say I said or didn’t say —
since what I said, whether Darwin said it or not, isn’t something
that
really had to be said. Perhaps Darwin said what he said because he
felt he had to say it — he certainly was entitled to say what he
wanted to say. But by saying what they say he had said, he actually
said more than he needed to say, so maybe he didn’t have to say what
he said. Of course, IF Darwin did say what these fella said he had
said, critics could later say he had nothing to say even though he had
said it.

        ——
        Some Animals’ Eyes
        By W. H. Bates, M. D.
        ——
    The experimental detail into which Dr. Bates has gone in his
development of the new science of ophthalmology is realized by few
persons, although readers of his book, "The Cure of Imperfect Sight by
Treatment Without Glasses," have some appreciation of this. This
article tells some of the incidents and discoveries of his long series
of experiments, some significant to science, some humorous as well.
        ——
        Turtles
        ——
    The turtle has an unusual power of changing the focus of the eye.
A physician who taught in a medical college told me that every year he
would remove the eye of a turtle and demonstrate that stimulating the
ciliary muscle with electricity produced accommodation by altering the
front surface of the lens. He had been doing this for many years.
    He was a good-natured person and I asked him if he would
demonstrate the facts to me, which he kindly consented to do. After
removing the eye of a turtle he fastened it on a piece of cork with
the help of several pins. He then told me to note that when he
stimulated the eye with electricity I could see the lens change its
form, with the aid of a magnifying glass. I followed his instructions
carefully and told him that I did not see the lens move but I did see
a considerable agitation of the iris. With the aid of the retinoscope
I found that with a strong stimulation of the eye by electricity there
was no change in focus. The doctor was able to demonstrate the same
thing with my retinoscope.
    During all these years the commotion produced in the iris was
wrongly supposed to be associated with a change in the front part of
the lens. In the other eye, having demonstrated by simultaneous
retinoscopy that the lens of the turtle did not produce a change in
the focus of the turtle’s eye I proceeded to demonstrate that the
oblique muscle was a necessary factor in accommodation. I exposed the
superior oblique muscle, which is of considerable size in the eye of
the turtle. When this muscle was stimulated with electricity the
doctor and I both demonstrated with the aid of the retinoscope that
the eye was accommodated to a high degree.
    I then cut the superior oblique muscle, when I was able to
demonstrate with the retinoscope that electric stimulation of the
eyeball produced no change in the focussing power of the eye. The
doctor agreed with me.
    Then I sewed the divided ends of the oblique muscle together
again. Now the electric stimulation produced the same change in the
focus as in the beginning. The eye was accommodated for the near
point.
    The doctor confirmed my observation. He said before he left that
he was convinced that when it came to turtles Helmholtz was wrong and
that all these years he had been teaching an error and would in the
future omit the experiment on the eyes of turtles.
        ——
        Bears
        ——
    One night about ten o’clock I was testing the eyes of animals in
Central Park. The watchman had kindly loaned me a lantern for my use.
This lantern I placed on a stone coping which surrounded a den of
bears. When possible I flashed the light from the retinoscope into
their eyes and found that they were normal. When I was about to leave
I started to pick up the lantern and suddenly out of the dark a bear
sprang forward against the rail, poked his paw between the bars and
tried to grab the light. I was so startled I jumped back in great
fright. The bear seemed interested and amused, he opened his mouth and
if ever a bear laughed silently he did. I am sure there was nothing
wrong with his sight.
        ——
        Monkeys
        ——
    After examining a number of monkeys I found by simultaneous
retinoscopy, some who were myopic. Usually when I examined the eyes of
tigers, leopards or lions I was careful to do so at a respectful
distance, but the monkeys seemed so very playful and good-natured that
it did not seem necessary for me to take any precautions. While I was
trying, with the help of the keeper, to get a view of the eyes of an
old lady sitting up on a roost, a monkey in the adjoining cage grabbed
me by the hair and produced a lot of joy among his fellows at my
expense. It was so unexpected and the pull so strong that I do not
believe I shall ever forget the experience, although I was more
frightened than hurt. The keeper laughed louder than a lion’s roar.
        ——
        Wolves
        ——
    A great many wolves were examined by simultaneous retinoscopy and
in all cases their eyes were found to be unusually good. One night a
policeman stopped me and asked in a very disagreeable tone of voice
what I was doing among the animals. I explained to him that I was very
much interested in finding a method of preventing myopia in school
children and that facts obtained from studying the eyes of animals
were a great help. Well, he softened right away, and was kind enough
to hold the lantern for me while I made further observations.
        ——
        Leopards
        ——
    It seems a safe procedure to stand in front of a cage ten or
twenty feet away and flash the light of a lantern into the eyes of
some wild animal, but in one case a tragedy seemed imminent. The
keeper was helping me all he knew how by coaxing the animals into a
position that was favorable for me to examine their eyes. He went into
a cage where he thought no animal was present, in order to reach
another cage that contained some leopards. Suddenly there came out
from a shadow into the light another leopard, and the speed with which
that keeper got out of that cage was wonderful. And he was none too
soon, because the door slammed shut against the very teeth of the
animal. I was able to examine the eyes of this leopard while he was
annoyed and found his eyes were normal.
        ——
        Other Animals, and Fish
        ——
    None of the members of the cat tribe which I have examined with
the retinoscope was near sighted. One of the lions had a cataract. A
hippopotamus also had a cataract. Old Jewel, an elephant I examined,
was near sighted. The distance of the eyes of the elephant from the
ground may be six feet or more, but I am quite sure that this elephant
did not become near sighted from straining to see near objects. I
found some buffaloes near sighted and some other animals, also. No
birds were found near sighted. At the New York Aquarium I examined
many thousands of eyes of fish and found none near sighted. The
ability of fish to focus their eyes for a very near point is
wonderful. The muscles found in the eyeballs of fish are very large.
Electrical stimulation produces a high degree of accommodation or
focussing at the near point, except in the eyes of the shark family.
These fish have no superior oblique muscle; but, when I placed a
suture of strong silk thread in the place occupied by the oblique
muscles in other fish, electrical stimulation produced accommodation
in the eyes of all the shark family.
    It is interesting to report that the cat family does not focus its
eyes to see near-by. Electrical stimulation always, in my experiments,
has produced near focus in the cat family, but only after a silk
thread was inserted in the place usually occupied by the superior
oblique muscle.

Save us the trouble….

Does this person present any EVIDENCE that anything she advocates
works any better than placebo (doing nothing)??

If not, then … faith.vision still awaits you.

Whatever layman Otis shows you here or claims, keep in mind he has no
professional experience in eyecare, no layman experience either.

None , zero , nada.

He is a charlatan.

Jan (normally Dutch spoken)

Layman Otis, could you show some knowledge of your own in the eyecare
field instead of pointing to a bunch of hyperlinks or to a review about
a book of some very old (91 years of age) and retired MD.

I’m looking forward to it and maybe you have the courage to pick up the
tread  you left some weeks ago about the subject "hyperopics" should
benefit from what you stated about the working of a minus glass in front
of their eyes.

And layman Otis , no hyperlinks and copy/paste please,just your
knowledge and/or experience in this eyecare field.

        ——
        Operations at the Clinic
        By Emily C. Lierman
        ——
    So many of our office patients have asked me if Dr. Bates approves
of operations on the eye or if he ever does operate for cataract or
other conditions. Others wish to know if there is a little Christian
Science or something else mixed with our method of treatment. As I do
not understand or know anything about these other things, I would like
our readers to know at least that Dr. Bates always does operate on the
eye when it is absolutely necessary. I have been assisting Dr. Bates
for almost eight years and during that time I have helped him when he
operated either at his office or at the clinic. These operations have
been done without pain or discomfort to the patient.
    My memory goes back to four years ago when there came to the
clinic a dear old Italian woman, eighty-three years of age,
accompanied by her daughter who was just about to become a mother. The
daughter had already made arrangements with the hospital upstairs and
the newcomer was expected most any day. The daughter was very anxious
that her mother did not suffer while she herself was away from home,
so she appealed to Dr. Bates and to me that her mother might be
operated on, and asked Dr. Bates to please do the operation himself.
    Of course such things can be taken out of our hands entirely if we
send the patient into the hospital. But if it is at all possible to
send the patient home immediately after the operation, Dr. Bates in
his gentle way always asks me if I would mind staying just a few
minutes longer so that he can do the operation himself and so take
away the fear and dread that some of these poor patients have of a
strange doctor.
        ——
        Smiles As For A Party
        ——
    This dear old woman, who had the kindliest face and sweetest
expression of any old woman I have known, smiled as though we were
arranging a party for her. She did not seem to mind in the least as we
placed her on the operating table. Most patients sigh and show traces
of fear, which is natural for I dread operations myself, and I know
how it feels, but she looked at me with kindly eyes and smiled and you
can be sure I returned that smile in full measure. She in turn looked
at her daughter who stood on the opposite side of her and as she
smiled at me again she said something in Italian which of course I did
not understand. Her daughter very promptly translated to me what her
mother said. As I can remember, these were the words: "She say, ‘You
nica da lady, you bigga da heart. She lovva you, she no afraid.’ " I
pressed the mother’s hand gently and would also like to state that I
kissed her.
    Now I would like to say that the operation was necessary for the
lower eyelid of her left eye was inflamed and swollen from an abscess
of the left tearduct. For a long time she had been coming faithfully
to the clinic, but her condition gradually became worse so that there
was nothing else to do but to relieve her by an operation.
    She had the same smile and the same loving words for Dr. Bates
when he began to operate. Not once did I hear her moan. When she
wished to be reassured, all she did was to press my hand. Such courage
is indeed wonderful. The operation was accomplished without pain under
cocaine anesthesia. Two days later she again came to the clinic with
her grandchild, a girl about ten years of age.
    She stood among the patients for attention and when I came to ask
her how she felt, she told her grandchild to tell me that she had
slept peacefully the night after the operation, better than she had
for a long time. The grandchild informed me that upstairs was a new
baby brother and that mother was doing fine and that grandma wanted me
to know that she had placed a candle in church which was blessed for
Dr. Bates and me in appreciation of what we had done for her. Grandma
soon got well and that was the last we saw of her.
    Another day a young woman who was troubled with chalazion tumors
was also operated on at the clinic. I believe if this poor woman owned
the whole of Panama we might have had it, but we would have had to go
after it. So many different things were never promised to us by one
single patient. I cannot say that she behaved as well during the
operation as did the dear old Italian woman, but any way we had a
lively time of it while the operation was going on. She suffered no
pain but she talked a blue streak. She informed us that her husband
was employed on a ship that made regular trips back and forth to
Panama and that we were going to receive the most wonderful fruits
that we had ever tasted in our lives. Then she asked me if Doctor wore
Panama hats during the summer, but Dr. Bates got ahead of me and
promptly answered himself. "Sure," said he, "never in my life could I
afford a Panama hat." "Well," said she, "kindly tell me your head size
and I will see that you will wear one." Then she asked me if I would
like to have one also. "Of course." We were finally told that within
two weeks or so we would be presented with our Panama hats.
    The time of this operation was two years ago and we are still
waiting for our Panama hats. But I really feel that this poor woman
had all the best of intentions and I hope that her husband is still
making his regular trips to Panama.
    Recently a young man entered the clinic with a small baby in his
arms. Anxiety and worry showed in  his face and he looked as if he had
not slept for a week. As the baby was crying continuously Dr. Bates
immediately stopped his work with other patients to attend to the
little one. This young father told the Doctor with tears in his eyes
that for five days and nights the baby never stopped crying and that
its mother had taken the child to another clinic where the doctor told
her that the child had a cold in his eye and that drops applied in the
eye would soon cure the baby. As Dr. Bates placed the baby on his lap
the father asked, "Please Doctor, don’t tell me that the baby has a
terrible disease of his eye and that he might lose it; please tell me
you can help him." I held the baby’s head firmly in my hands and as
the doctor carefully examined the eye he found a foreign body, perhaps
a piece of steel, firmly embedded in the cornea. In less than five
minutes it was out and the baby stopped crying. The baby was placed in
his father’s arms again and the father was told the baby was alright.
    As he passed out the door he turned and said, "Thank you, Doctor,
from the bottom of my heart." Dr. Bates turned to me and said, "Did
you hear that? That ‘Thank you’ came from the man’s heart and it is
worth a great deal to me because he meant it."

        ——
        To a Patient
    By L. M. Stanton, M. D.
        ——
    These words of instruction and encouragement have a message not
only for a single patient of Dr. Stanton’s, but for everyone who seeks
the better vision that true knowledge gives.
    ——
    The eyes are almost a part of the brain, and vision is more
closely connected with the mind than is any one of the other special
senses. Anything that effects the mind, therefore, is almost certainly
reflected in the eyes and if the mind is disturbed vision is impaired.
    Importance of mental control cannot be overestimated. Perhaps this
state of the mind at rest is better expressed by the word composure or
equanimity than by control, as the latter somewhat suggests effort. If
we could but catch these fleeting moments of clear vision, so
exasperating because so elusive, and trace them to their origin I
think in every case it would be found that a state of mental composure
would account for them.
    An unperturbed mind undoubtedly makes for clarity of physical as
well as of mental vision. This is no "far-off divine event" but an
effect which happens immediately and which one can demonstrate many
times a day.
    When you look at an object you will see it better if you don’t try
to see it than you will if you try to see it. The maxim, "If at first
you don’t succeed try, try, try again" is never true in the sense that
"try" means effort, and the futility of effort is never more
convincingly shown than in our attempt to see by straining to see. If
we would "venture," instead of "try," we would succeed not only
eventually but often "at first."
    You need not trouble about your blood pressure, but take your
nerve pressure as often as you can. You can gauge your mental tension
by your muscular tension, and if your muscles are taut—your arms
rigid, your hands clenched—you are mentally straining. And there are
no muscles that respond more quickly to our thought than do the ocular
muscles. A patient was requested to close her eyes. She literally
hanged them shut, and if she had been asked to perform the most
difficult task her face could not have expressed a greater strain. By
our multifarious environment we are being continually bombarded, and
though we must ever be ready for action, unless this action springs
from self-possession it is pretty sure to miss fire.
    Can you perfectly recall the individual letters of the diamond
type card? This is very good practice for the memory and imagination.
I could not remember a small letter t but resolved to experiment
without looking at the card. Many t’s were at first discarded for I
knew they were imperfect and not like the t of the card. I knew that a
t was a long letter but whether it extended above or below the short
letters of the line I could not tell. I was not sure where it was
crossed in relation to the other letters in the word in which I
imagined it. So poor were my mental pictures that I confounded the t
with an f. This, however, was a step forward, as an inverted f closely
resembles a letter t. I continued to experiment, knowing that if I
imagined the truth I would see the letter as perfectly as when looking
at it on the card. Then, suddenly, there it was, shapely and black. I
still remember it clearly for "the little one does learn is
unforgettable, impressed upon the mind in a different way than mere
learning."
    When you palm do you see a perfect black? I look out into the
blackness of the darkest night and then imagine it still blacker.
    Experience is only suggestive. As you are different from anyone
else so are your eyes like no others. Do your own experimenting, and
prize your own successes above all things.
