Psychoanalysis and Bates Method

In context of curing imperfect eyesight, I've found that it's not productive to try to analyze the subconscious and psychological issues that originally caused the strain to build up. It's just the upside-down way. First you should find the way to relax and only then you may discover the cause, but not in reverse order. The ways people strain are countless and knowing the original cause far ago in your childhood will hardly help you cure yourself now, but will more likely divert your attention from the real practice to things that no longer matter.
