5.0 out of 5 stars Best Eyesight Improvement book that I've read., 24 Jun 2003

By	rational-karlh "karlh" (london, england) - See all my reviews

I've read a few books on NEI (Natural Eyesight Improvement).
Amongst them, Take off your glasses and see by Jacob Liberman Better Eyesight without Glasses by W.H.Bates (1943 version after W.Bates' death) , The Art of Seeing by Aldous Huxley amongst them.
All of these were quite good books, and I quite liked Jacob Liberman's one.
However none of them are as good at explaining the process of Natural Eyesight as Relearning to See by Thomas Quackenbush.
A lot of Relearning to See (RTS abbrieviation from now on ) is requoting W.H.Bates work, but RTS explains it better in modern terms than W.H.Bates himself managed. I was a bit confused by some of the terms in Bates' Better Eyesight without glasses. RTS cleared these issues up.

RTS also integrates other sources of information on NEI. It's also quite a colourful book, with lot's of diagrams, something most of the other books miss out on. After all there's much more to seeing than just reading alone.

To summarise RTS is the best book I've read on NEI, so if you want to buy just one book then get this one. If after that you still feel like reading somemore try Jacob Liberman's "Take off your Glasses and See".

Don't suffer glasses or contact lenses for 1 second longer than you have to, and NEVER even consider laser butchery , I mean surgery. (Just search the web for complications Associated with laser surgery ) This stuff works. Most opticians over prescribe strong lenses for visual defects that can and are cured with the visual habit's that are described in RTS and other NEI books. Your average optician will not believe this possible is (I've tried talking to a few of them) because medical school has got to them, and also they earn a large amount of their income by encouraging dependence on prescription lenses.

So , can you really trust someone who makes their living selling lenses to tell you that you could live without them ? ( or at least be less dependent on them) Buy this book (and read it!) and you'll SEE what W.H.Bates, Thomas Quackenbush and others would like you to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply an amazing book...literally "eye-opening"!, 23 Dec 2001

By A Customer

My eyesight has been going downhill consistently for some years now and every 18 months my prescription gets worse. Glasses are frustrating and mean that you only have good sight some of the time, I can't get along with contacts and laser eye surgery is still a little bit too risky for my liking. Then a friend at university introduced me to this book...I thought its probably a waste of time but it can't hurt to try. So I read it, which took some time because its quite a long book!

In a nutshell the book explains the findings of an opthamologist named William Bates. Bates discovered that contrary to traditional opinion, poor eyesight can be attributed to a series of bad habbits adopted by people as they grow older. Thus, unless there is a disease or injury to the eye: full quality vision can be regained simply be analysing and understanding the way we use our eyes.

In this book the author has made it possible for people to regain perfect vision, without taking any of the risks associated with corrective lenses and invasive surgery. Both of which 'force' better eyesight; by reading this book and persevering you can assist your eyes to improve of their own accord.

Its amazing, after only a few days one can make a noticeable difference; if you have the motivation and committment, theoretically 20/20 vision can be regained in about a year. Surely this is worth a try?!

4.0 out of 5 stars thorough, 25 May 2004

By A Customer

a voluminous work which includes most of bates' original text as well as considerable further information from the author himself. it is easy to understand and a worthwhile read for anyone considering the bates' method - very informative. there are a few exercises to be getting on with to help relax one's vision, but it should be understood that the bates' method is a progression of re-education to eliminate bad habits rather than a quick fix of short daily exercises. simply reading this (or any) book will not improve your vision by itself, and any claim otherwise is nonsense. as a result of the book, i have taken some classes which i have found valuable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Harmless and useless rubbish
This is simply another book trotting out a variation on the Bates method, which has been thoroughly discredited since the 1920s as a waste of time and effort. Read more
