Lizzie May


I was so impressed and impassioned by the Method that after I had dispensed with lenses, I decided that this was to be my profession for life!


Introduction

I run a busy practice teaching both one-to-one at my clinic in London and internationally over Skype, FaceTime and Zoom. I love teaching people from so many different backgrounds, working in 20 different countries at present. I have found that cultural and environmental factors can influence eyesight, as much as visual habits and lifestyle. At present I specialize in helping children and adults to relax when using a computer, tablet, or phone.

My Story

I qualified as a Bates Teacher in 1998, having been a Manufacturer's Agent for 16 years in the highly competitive housewares industry, here in the UK and abroad.

I became interested in the Bates Method for two reasons: I hated wearing glasses for my short sight and astigmatism and was aware of the possible consequences of having a family history of glaucoma and cataract going back three generations on the maternal side.

In childhood I had a divergent squint and at the age of six I was unable to learn to read. I could see the letters but they made no sense. Nowadays this would have been diagnosed as a form of dyslexia. So I work a lot with children and adults with squint (strabismus) and many other eye conditions. See Testimonials here.

I was so impressed and impassioned by the Method that after I had dispensed with lenses, I decided that this was to be my profession for life!
