Bates method

The Bates method is a system of exercises that, it is claimed, improves sight and reverses ocular disorders to normal. It is argued by proponents that it works by eliminating "mental strain" of any kind and restoring the "natural habits" of seeing. The Bates Method is the backbone of the natural vision improvement movement . The Bates method was first described in 1920 by ophthalmologist William Horatio Bates in a book entitled Perfect Sight Without Glasses, and then subsequently in his monthly magazine entitled Better Eyesight.
