[net.aviation] Eyesight

brent@phoenix.UUCP (Brent P. Callaghan) (05/13/85)

I left my contacts out for two days before my class III.
I used glasses just for driving around.  My eyesight improved
enough to pass the eye test without correction !
i.e. no endorsement on license.

I can't explain why this is.  Any optometrists out there ?

Let me recommend a book that might help explain this: "The Bates Method
for BETTER EYESIGHT WITHOUT GLASSES" by William H. Bates, M.D.  It is
available at many health food stores.  I don't think that most
optometrists would appreciate what he has to say, but he does explain
why real things like you describe occur, when they are contrary to all
that optometrists tell us.
