Have any of you read the book about improving your vision.  I haven't, but
the reviews talk about "spacial vision" and unfocusing your eyes.  I'd love
to hear from someone who's actually read and practiced what that book
(actually, there may be more than one---I see the reviews in the Isabella
catalog) says to know if it works.  It sounds sort of like what Chuck is
talking about, though.  anklebear
