    How To Improve Your Vision Without Glasses

    Hey there. I threw away my glasses the other day because I finally managed to improve my vision naturally by doing special eye exercises that were discovered by a Dr Bates.

    In case you're interested, here's the program I used to improve my vision - http://tinyurl.com/vwglasses21.

    All the best.

    tut, you guys are such skeptics.

    the very fact that you antagonize my efforts shows me that you fear that my claims may be true. Chances are you have poor eyesight yourselves and it would be too much of a burden for you to admit that you can repair your eyesight naturally.

    After all, the only way to justify all those years of wearing glasses is to fend off all claims that your poor vision could have been cured just by doing some easy daily exercises.

    You actuyally are promoting one of the oldest quack sceems known in the optical industry since the 1930's, Dr Bates ..................:bbg:


    Your Eyes Were Made to See With

    See the Way Nature Intended You to See



    This 1930's ad was produced by the Natural Eyesight Institute manufacturer of the Natural Eye Normalizer, a metal device finished in chrome with rubber gaskets fitting the eyes. The device came with five booklets describing treatments and containing logs to record eye excercises. How did it work? It didn't!
    The "patient" applied the device to the eyes shutting out all light. The handle on the side of the device allows the gaskets to rotate slightly to massage the eyelids. In theory, the device was supposed to relax the eyes thereby eliminating all vision problems. The device had no effect on vision problems.
    This device is one of many which sought to cash in on the theory promoted by William Horatio Bates, M.D. who published The Cure of Imperfect Eyesight by Treatment Without Glasses in 1920. Dr. Bates wrongly suggested that relaxation would cure vision problems. Today, many of his followers have altered his theory by suggesting that eye exercise will cure vision problems (and there is a kernel of truth in this for eye exercise is recommended for conditions like lazy eye and crossed eyes). In mystical ways, Bates followers suggest practicing how and where to focus, rotating eyes from left to right and back again to increase peripheral vision and more. For almost all vision problems, eye exercise has no effect. Claims that the Bates theory and exercise may 'eliminate the need for glasses and contacts' are false.
    These claims are made today by sellers of pinhole eyeglasses and expensive consultants who lead vision therapy 'classes.' "It is difficult to understand the widespread popularity of the Bates System unless one considers that its followers make up what is essentially a cult. Its practitioners are faith healers who appeal to the gullible, the neurotic, the highly emotional, and the psychosomatic…. ‘Perfect sight without glasses’ is an empty promise," say Russell S. Worrall, O.D. and Jacob Nevyas, Ph.D. (cited by George Nava True II). True relates
    "In 1956, Dr. Philip Pollack, a Manhattan optometrist, wrote The Truth About Eye Exercises which exposed the flaws in the Bates System. Alas, Pollack’s book was soon forgotten while the Bates System lives on."
    See Can Eye Exercises Improve Vision? by George Nava True II.


    Urbane Barrett, owner of the Natural Eyesight Institute, was convicted of mail fraud in 1937 - a year before the U. S. Food and Drug Administration was authorized to regulate medical devices.

    Wont eating a lot of carrots improve your vision? I mean you never see rabbits with glasses so it must work.

    Wouldn't the constant rubbing of the Eye Normalizer having negative effects on the eye? Some think keratoconus is linked to rubbing your eyes.

    Actually, if memory serves we have the RAF to thank for that myth, something to do with them not wanting the Germans to know they were developing radar, so they claimed to be feeding their pilots lots of carrots. Could be wrong though.

    From: Bates' book, Perfect Sight Without Glasses-

    p177: "After looking at the sun most people see black or colored spots
    which may last from a few minutes to a year or longer, but are never
    permanent. These spots are also illusions, and are not due, as is
    commonly supposed, to any organic change in the eye. Even the total
    blindness which sometimes results, temporarily, from looking at the sun,
    is only an illusion."

    p186: "Persons with normal sight have been able to look at the sun for an
    indefinite length of time, even an hour or longer, without any
    discomfort or loss of vision. Immediately afterward they were able to
    read the Snellen test card with improved vision, their sight having
    become better than what is ordinarily considered normal.[...] Blind
    areas (scotomata) may develop in various parts of the field [...]
    Organic changes may also be produced.Inflammation, redness of the
    conjunctiva, cloudiness of the lens and of the aqueous and vitreous
    humors, congestion and cloudiness of the retina, optic
    nerve and choroid, have all resulted from sun-gazing. These effects,
    however, are always temporary. The scotomata, the strange colors, even
    the total blindness, as explained in the preceding chapter, are only
    mental illusions."
    Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. - Richard P. Feynman
