Bates Method International

Welcome to Seeing.org and Bates Method International - the premier site for learning about the Bates Method of Vision Education. The purpose of these pages is to inform you about natural vision, vision improvement and your alternatives when wanting to care for your eyes.

Learn how to improve your eyesight without lenses or surgery and learn how to increase your chances of healing in cases of degenerative eye disease.

It is as natural for the eye to see as it is for the mind to acquire knowledge, and any effort in either case is not only useless, but defeats the end in view.

New Case History - Our Journey with the Bates Method

Read Carolyn Mills' story about working with the Bates method for herself and her 2 year old daughter:

"I first came across the Bates method whilst browsing in a bookshop in my early twenties.
