Re:hello

I received bates's book and started exercising a bit. However, I am not sure of my full understandig of the method. i find very hard to see black when I close my eyes for palming, I rather see some kind of black, not what is supposed to be a perfect black. I guess that "seeing black" is more like a mind attitude than a physical thing, am I wrong? Some kind of meditation maybe? what is your experience?
I'd like to know what kind of exercise you have done exactly, have you just practiced some microtext reading or did you use snellen tables? I really hate snellen tables because I really cannot see them clearly even at half of the suggested distance.
please answer if you have any suggestion

ps do you think that magic eye pictures and micro-reading would be enough for exercising and relaxing my eyes? Tweet
