Do you read imperfectly? Do you need to push the paper away for it to
become clear? Does it get blurry close up? Well, listen up closely,
because the situation is not as hopeless as you have deemed it to be.
There IS a cure! But it just needs to be practiced with dedication,
intelligently, - and most importantly of all, without effort.

Now when I say 'without effort' there should hopefully no confusion,
in that I don't mean 'don't try *out* x ' - (of course not, because
otherwise if you didn't try anything how will you ever restore your
sight?), I mean, don't exhibit a strain to do it. Someone in the
magazines once suggested a better word would be to 'venture', as
opposed to 'try'. In any case, remember that making any effort is
futile, retarding one's cure, and not only futile but also en route to
spoiling your sight all over again!

Anyway, Zetsu is going to be very nice and show you exactly how to
begin fine print treatment. Fine print is one of the very best, most
efficient ways to improve sight at the nearpoint, and in general to
improve the health of the eyes.

To make things clearer, I have provided some screenshots which you can
find at the-end.

First things first, you have to read the original 1920s book and the
magazines, and start the restful practices. The next thing is this:

1. Open Microsoft Word, or whatever text editor you use (so long as
it's got the main editorial features and a couple more - wouldn't
advise Notepad though).

2. Go on the internet, type in:

www.central-fixation.com

Then, go over to the Better Eyesight Magazine. Get one month's worth
of any magazine you like, esp. one that you have enjoyed in the past
and found motivational.

Tap ctrl+a and highlight everything.

Tap ctrl+c (copy).

Go back to Microsoft Word.

Paste (ctrl+v).

Now edit it as appropriate (there might be some abnormalities in
various places, just sort them out). Don't worry about typos, they are
not important. Make sure the layout hasn't been messed up etc.

So now we've got to make it look nice, so that you'll actually enjoy
reading it while you practice. Because as you may know, boredem is
injurious to the sight and anything that awakens interest is
beneficial.

Highlight everything again, and make it into a font you enjoy, one you
find restful and eye catching - standard fonts are good because they
are clear and easy to read. Personally, I use Times New Roman,
Calibri, or Arial.

Keep the colour as black on white, because this is easiest for the
printer, clearest for the vision and often the most effective for your
eyemind training.

Now, the most important thing - size. Set the titles to '3' and the
main body to '1.5'. (You have to type it in manually because there are
no presets at this size.)  The reason I did not choose to go lower
than this is because many inkjet printers become unable to give a
clear print below 1.5 point type. It starts to get blurry. 1.5 should
be fine, if you have a fairly decent printer.

Make sure you are not almost out of ink, as this can ruin the
experience and the purpose of the treatment (black becomes gray, and
many other such abberations). A full ink cartrige means that it
doesn't need to spare ink and therefore can utilize the needed amount
to give the best quality of print.

Quality of the print is VERY important.

If the quality of the ink is bad, then you will not benefit half as
much because you will have an imperfect memory of the letters whenever
you try Bates' memory techniques. Perfect black, or an approximation
as close to perfect as possible, is VITAL.

Go to 'columns' in the upper task pane, highlight everything and split
it into three. Go to borders, and create a textual border.

Then you've got to print it, of course.

In the settings, make sure it's set to Best Quality! It will be worth
it! Don't use FastDraft just to spare a bit of little ink and time.
Because it will come out crap afterwords, trust me.

Now one advisable suggestion - if you have got any - use high quality
glossy paper, because this will make things a whole lot nicer.

Print it off. Oh, lovely huh!

Ah but - wait, is it all just a faint smear of blur to you? Well, if
so then you need to get practicing!

Go out into the bright sunlight. If the light hurts your eyes, or it
induces you to involuntarily squint your eyes half shut, then it means
you are not yet accustomed and means you need some training -
otherwise all the other methods employed to relieve strain and secure
rest will be far less effective.

So, get accustomed. Take it in incremental steps, don't go all out and
look right at the sun, because that's dangerous. Whatever ever you do,
don't stare at the sun. That will burn out your eyes, for sure. Take
it very easy, follow your intuition, if your eyes want to close them
let them. Keep up the practice, and do it well, and soon you'll be
able to open your eyes in any bright light with ease.

When you are able to look into bright lights easily and openly, and
not suffer the afterglow (floaters, etc.) then you have made a
sufficiently great deal of progress to secure benefit from the other
methods.

So, back to fine print practice.

Now you that you are in the bright light, the fine print should at
first still be a faint blur, but don't worry about that. Don't make an
effort to see. Bring the print very close to your eyes. Look at the
white spaces in between the lines, and think of the whitest thing you
can while you do it. Think of snow, white pillow, and such like. Make
no effort to do this, but let it come into your mind of its own
accord.

Close your eyes, and continue imagining the same thing, just as if you
were still looking at the print. Alternate this with doing it with the
eyes open.

If you have been able to relax, even for a miniscular amount of time,
you may open your eyes and get a flash of clear vision. Close your
eyes again before you have time to read anything and let the strain
come back. Continue this treatment.

Now, if you practice faithfully over several days, you will find that
these tiny flashes will become more prolonged until you are able to
rest yourself at will, and to sustain the relaxation obtained 24/7.

Then, move onto the next level.
This is where things get interesting.

Wait until night falls. Get a candle, a match, and light up a flame.
Ensure all electrical or other external lights are out. Go somewhere
solitary where you are not likely to be interrupted by disturbed and
somewhat confused looking passerbyers (i.e. 'dude, what the hell are
you doing?').

So then now, you have begun the REAL stuff!

Bring the print so close that it's up against your very face. All a
blur, again, huh? Not to fear! Now, you will feel the wonderful
effects of the candle. The eyemind will enjoy very much the steady or
sometimes abrupt flicker emitted by the light - changes in conditions
is something restful and relaxing.

Keep up the practice as per earlier. Read Dr. Bates' book and magazine
if you do not understand how to practice. Remember that his work is
the very BEST source of True knowledge in the cure of imperfect sight.
With time and practice you will find that, your accomodative range
will get nearer and nearer until it's absolutely perfect, and then you
can even move on to supernormal vision, like that girl who was able to
discern cells! Forget using silly old microscopes!
