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.
"I had been prescribed glasses at the tender age of 7 or 8, and was told that I needed them every waking hour as I was both short sighted and had astigmatism. I was told that as my mum was short sighted too, it was likely that my prescription would get stronger and stronger as it was in my genes, and nothing could be done."
