Book Description

October 1, 2000
By working on the Bates method exercises illustrated in this book at home for half an hour a day and applying some simple techniques in everyday life, most people have at least a 75 percent chance of achieving partial or complete success in restoring their vision. The Bates method of eyesight improvement is nonsurgical, completely safe, and quite effective. This simple and practical guide to using the Bates method addresses all the common faults of vision—nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and “old age” sight.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Jonathan Barnes’ own poor eyesight, combined with his biologist’s curiosity and his frustration at previously published accounts of the Bates method, caused him to write this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars fairly simple, insightful, March 7, 2002
By 
This review is from: Improve Your Eyesight: A Guide to the Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses (Paperback)
Occasionally, someone who has experience improving their eyesight with the Bates Method writes a book to help clarify things for others. The Bates Method is comprised of many subtleties that just about everyone misses at first (and some people never get it). Many people who claim to understand it don't, so it's always refreshing to read a book by someone who knows what he's talking about, and this book is no exception.

One unique offering is his explaining how there are two ways for the brain to block the visual process. One is to interfere with the mechanics of vision, by altering the eye shape with the extrinsic muscles, preventing proper blinking and shifting, and encouraging disease that impairs vision. The other way is what Barnes refers to as altering the consistency of the barrier between the subconscious and conscious mind. The first type of blocking (mechanical) tends to be more easily overcome than the second. The second is purely mental, when there is clear information that has made it through the visual system but it isn't recognized for what it is. So there are times when the eyes are working in an improved manner, but their signals are prevented from passing through the barrier (from the subconscious to conscious mind).

That actually just summarizes one page, and the rest of the book is relatively simple. But if you're new to the Bates Method, read this text slowly, as you are going to miss important principles he slips in if you aren't careful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting!, February 28, 2011
This review is from: Improve Your Eyesight: A Guide to the Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses (Paperback)
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in improving eye sight in a natural way. I have read quite a a few books so far and this is one of the best. Great exercises, easy to follow, aimed at normal people who are not professionals!

3.0 out of 5 stars improve eye sight, March 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Improve Your Eyesight: A Guide to the Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses (Paperback)
Very technical, but has a couple of excerices which are worth doing. But i'm sure there must be better books on the "how to methods" of dr Bates.
