Right Words and Wrong Words

Our mind uses words to label things. Once a name is called, the corresponding notion of an object or phenomenon begins to exist in the mind, even if the object or phenomenon may not exist in reality. And in reverse, once a name is destroyed, or replaced with a verb meaning an action, the corresponing object or phenomenon disappears from the mind.

Because vision problems are entirely in the mind, it is important to be careful with words, because the ideas behind them may be wrong and thereby retard the cure of imperfect sight. Dr. Bates was EXTREMELY careful with words. Every his word is a gem. I tried to translate Dr. Bates' texts to other languages and I tell you it's very difficult to do so without losing part of the meaning, or using too much words to deliver the full meaning. English is the perfect language for Bates method.

Here is the list of words that Dr. Bates didn't use, and I avoid using myself, in context of eyesight and Bates method:

WRONG: sunning, solarization
RIGHT: sun treatment, sun gazing

WRONG: centralization (I would kill for that! :) )
RIGHT: central fixation

WRONG: clear flash
RIGHT: a flash of improved vision, a flash of perfect vision

There may be others that I will remember and post later

Also, I'd recommend to avoid the following words:
to focus, to concentrate, to try hard, to do my best, to make an effort

And of course stay away from the following optician's words, because the phenomenons meant by them are non-existent but have been brought into your mind by compulsion:
prescription, diopter, myopia, astigmatism, hypermetropia etc.
