OK grabbed the book..

My idea was to post an article I thought interesting.

mt411-you obviously know alot more about eyes than myself. However I wonder if that info could be missing some view points in terms of what you are taught.

A quink mention on muscles.



extraocular muscles are one part of it all-slow to change quick to start to change back-I think that makes sense. Posture is slow to change but stretching and corrective exercise can have small improvements very quickly.

anyway How do eyes focus? Is it not largely to do with the ciliary muscles?

then shouldn't training these muscles make some reasonable sense in improving focus?

Now you ask on whos giving info-I only mentioned Chek as the site I first came across this was his site.

The author of the article was a patient-though its obvious she has done some research to write the article.

My main info comes from one of the books she used as a refferance.

The authors are
