I am wondering how many people on this forum has any eyesight problems especially myopia. I have. Actually I used to have because now I am relearning to see , i.e. restoring my eyesight through the BATES METHOD.
I am asking this because I suspect that Social Anxiety always involves chronic tension, namely mental tension and the latter, according to Bates and from my experience is the main cause of myopia and other vision problems.
Of course not everyone that is nearsighted suffers from chronic social anxiety, because the nature and origins of mental tension are different,but I am very inclined to suspect that the vice versa might be true - namely that everyone or at least most of the people that are inflicted with chronic social anxiety do have some form of myopia in a lesser or stronger degree, or astigmatism, or or other eye problem.
Your thoughts, observations?
So, Let's make a myopia/eyesight problems statistic on this thread.
Anyone who votes on this topic is invites as well if he wishes to tell more about his eyesight problems, what kind of vision problem : myopia , astigmatism, (or both) farsightedness etc. when did you notice that you have them etc.

P.S. THE BATES METHOD OF VISION IMPROVEMENT REALLY WORKS, IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR VISION TRY IT AND DEMONSTRATE IT TO YOURSELF, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.
'The object of all the methods used in the treatment of imperfect sight without glasses is to secure rest or relaxation, of the mind first and then of the eyes. Rest always improves the vision. Effort always lowers it Persons who wish to improve their vision should begin by demonstrating these facts.
Close the eyes and keep them closed for fifteen minutes. Think of nothing particular, or think of something pleasant. When the eyes are opened, it will usually be found that the vision has improved temporarily. If it has not, it will be because, while the eyes were closed, the mind was not at rest. ALL errors of refraction and many other eye troubles are cured by rest; but there are many ways of obtaining this rest, and all patients cannot do it in the same way.'
