When I bought the book, I expected it to be about the art of 'seeing' and perception. As many of us know, Aldous Huxley was an exceptional writer. The younger generation may not be familiar with his work, but he was a genius. There is no doubt about this.
I did not know he had problems with his vision, but he discovered and used the Bates method to correct his vision. I am glad he wrote the book because I have explored the Bates method after reading the essay and will use the techniques.
However, while his explanation of the techniques and their benefits is clear (as are his sarcastic observations on human laziness), illustrations would have helped the reader. The lack of drawings is the only shortcoming in the book. You must read the book slowly: the writing is dry. ( )
