Better Eyesight Without Glasses - Wm. H. Bates MD

Dr Bates' original work Perfect Eyesight Without Glasses was published in 1920. It was then abridged and republished in 1943 by Dr Bates' widow Emily Lierman-Bates, and retitled Better Eyesight Without Glasses. This latter version of Dr Bates' book has been in print ever since.

Within Better Eyesight Without Glasses, Bates describes the processes and philosophy behind vision improvement. It is not so much a simplified step by step instruction manual, but rather a set of principles of good vision that really gets you thinking, and it sets the basis for all the natural vision improvement practices that have emerged in the last 100 years.

The Cure of Imperfect Sight by Treatment Without Glasses

(Perfect Sight Without Glasses)

William Horatio Bates, M.D. (1860–1931) was an Ophthalmologist who attributed errors of refraction – and many other visual conditions – to habitual strain of the eyes and mind. He felt that glasses simply locked the condition in place and in many occasions simply made the vision worse over time. This book was published in 1920 and it still remains a great resource today for those interested in natural vision improvement.

Abridged and republished as Better Eyesight Without Glasses in 1943, Perfect Sight in its original format was out of print for many years. Now free of copyright restrictions, several editions of this book are currently available, and you can also contact us below to download Perfect Sight in PDF format.

Bates Method Nuggets

In the ten years after Bates first published Perfect Sight Without Glasses in 1920 he produced a monthly magazine called simply, Better Eyesight. In this period his thinking and practices continued to develop; and rather than reading the entire volume, Esther van de Werf has selected some true gems from those magazine years: Bates Method Nuggets contains the essence of the Better Eyesight Magazines in compact form.

The various parts of the method are sorted by subject, and step by step they provide you with a clear picture of the Bates Method in an easy and logical flow. This book can be used as a reference guide to the Bates Method, and is useful to newcomers to the method as well as experienced Bates students. Bates Method Nuggets encapsulates the best of Dr. Bates' writings from the ten years after he published his book.

Vision For Life

Meir Schneider

Born blind to deaf parents, Schneider underwent a series of painful operations as a young child and was left with 99 percent scar tissue on the lenses of his eyes, resulting in his being declared incurably blind. At the age of seventeen, he discovered through the work of Dr Bates how to improve his vision from less than 1 percent to 55 percent of normal vision with the eye exercises presented in this book.

Today Schneider drives a car, reads, and enjoys the benefits of full natural vision. He and his clients prove time and time again how much vision can improve with exercise.
