The Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses

My father used this book 30 years ago to get rid of his glasses, he was leagally blind without them. I have over the years given it to many friends who have had different levels of help with it from not having to get stronger glasses to not having to get glasses. I use some exercises from it to keep my eyes in shape.

I have only one word to describe it. It works! Although, there might be other books to describe Dr. Bates method, I bought this only because it is the original by Dr. Bates. He should get the royalties for his discovery, shouldn't he?

I read this book in 1973. At the time I was 29 yrs. old and was quite near sighted. I even had to wear glasses to drive. After doing the simple exercizes in the book, my sight improved dramatically!! I no longer wear glasses for any reason. People who I told this method to wouldn't try it because they didn't believe it could be that easy, how stupid. Try it, you have nothing to lose but your glasses or contacts!

I've used this method to pass a police eye exam before and it works. If your doctor said you had to wear a crutch forever because of a strain due to excessive and improper use of a muscle , you'd call him a quack. But most of us pay big bucks to get good vision and it's nothing more(in most cases) than a case of eye strain caused by poor vision habits. Your eye doctor won't tell you to use this book, because he gets paid twice over to get you to wear glasses(or something even more expensive). My biggest problem with nearsightedness came from always looking at near objects such as the ground and never allowing the muscles in my eyes to stretch and see things like the horizon or clouds overhead. And when I finally did chose to stretch these muscles it was like trying to get into a crossed leg yoga position. The lenses in your eye are controlled by muscles and they need to be stretched and tightened.Buy this book for everyone you know and love and tell your eye doctor either to get another sucker or find a new job.

I read this book while I was still at school and hated wearing glasses (+1.25L, +1.75R). Following the method, I have enjoyed a completely normal vision. I have kept away from glasses for about 11 years now!!Some of my friends have shown even better results (coz they had heavier lenses to start with).Much more than just a good book.
