“Within a couple of months I was reading without my spectacles and, what was better still, without strain and fatigue”
Aldous Huxley.
Product Description
New, larger format – even easier to read! – edition of this classic self-help health title. Still includes the pull out chart.
The original Bates Method book was a classic – but in a tiny little A format and with a Victorian looking design that was hard to read – and in much need of updating for today’s market. So the new edition has an increased the page size and a clear, modern design that’s easy to read and follow.
The rationale behind the Bates Method is that if you wear glasses or contact lenses, chances are you don’t really need to.
Prescription lenses act as a prop for the eye muscles so over time the eyes actually get weaker. In the long term, glasses will only ever weaken the eyes.
The Bates Method restores sight firstly with a series of exercises that relax and soothe the eye muscles – the equivalent of massaging away tension build up – and secondly retrains the relaxed eyes to focus effectively.
The exercises are straightforward and easy to incorporate into daily life.

I have 20/20 vision in my right eye but a lazy eye on the left and I could only read the top couple of lines with it.
I tried a few of the exercises in the book and could read down to the 3rd line on the chart within minutes and even some of the letters on the fourth and fifth line.
Today I read the rest of the book and tried again.
I could read down to the seventh line with my bad eye and could see even clearer with my good eye.
I even read some of the book with my bad eye alone whereas before all I could see was a grey blur.
If this is the result after two days then it cant be bad. I am determined to obtain clear sight in my bad eye and then go back to my optician for a test just to prove there is a difference.
I have never had to wear glasses since I left school because the eyesight in my good eye is very good, but even good eyesight can be improved with this book.
It is definitely worth a try.
Highly recommended.
The author challenges the orthodox concept of accomodation (your eyes' ability to focus correctly) and the proof that his theory is correct is that it does actually work. The theory is this. Your eyes shouldn't be *trying* to see, they just should. As he says, your senses can not act themselves, they are to be acted upon. As soon as your eyes make an effort to see, your eyesight begins to deteriorate. Any eyestrain, therefore, is a result of mental strain.
He cites the example of a young girl who had a keen interest in astronomy. She could see the moons of Jupiter with her unaided eye, yet ask her to look at some maths sums on a blackboard just a few metres away, and she became myopic. This is because maths was disagreeble to her. This caused mental strain for her, which in turn caused eye strain and hence reduced vision.
Remember that if you have worn glasses for a number of years like I have, you won't be able to get such quick results as the previous reviewer did. Don't let this put you off. £6 is not much, compared to laser surgery! And a much better investment than paying £70 for a pair of glasses which are actually doing you more harm than good. The author correctly states that after a few days of going without your specs, your eyesight will improve (I can confirm this is true - your withdrawal headaches also go).
If you are thinking of buying this, ditch your glasses before the book arrives, to give yourself a head-start :)
Easy to read and very beneficial
you will pass this book onto all your friends and then need to buy another copy as one never gets the original copy back!
1. Glasses are harmful because they make your eyes adapt themselves to seeing badly, instead of getting better. Read more
