Allenhm,

Thanks. That helps a great deal. Wish I could find a copy of that eye chart. Hardly seems worth $400 for an eye chart.

Your comments about the tangerine and the visualized flower hit home. Haven't had much luck with those either. For the tangerine, I just FEEL something on the back top of my head. It does seem to help open up the field of vision. The flower thing goes right by me. I got the most benefit out of a Silva-based tape by a guy named Hans DeJong. Once you get past his silly accent, the technique is excellent for relaxation.

You're equally right about the big box of tools. Home projects always work out better with an assortment of tools to choose from. The failed projects are always the ones in which there was a shortage of useful tools. The brain ain't no different.
