I've read that the great English Author Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) was nearly blind, but was able to improve his sight using a special group of eye exercises, he had invented by himself. Later on he wrote a book about this, and this special eye gym now is used by people who does not believe in eye surgery and so on. What do you know about it, and what do you think?

I have read Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World". I did not know that he had eye problems and I did not know that he wrote a book about eye exercises. You learn something new everyday here in mylot. To answer your question, I do not know anything about Huxley's eye exercise book.

Thanks! I liked a lot Brave New World. It was in the preface to this book I first read that the Author had big problems with his eyes so that he had to use a big lens like those of watch-makers in order to be able to read the literature he was supposed to study for his graduation. bye
