<p>Eye-care physician William Horatio Bates, M.D., (1860–1931) attributed nearly all sight problems to habitual strain of the eyes, and felt that glasses were harmful and never necessary. Bates self-published Perfect Sight Without Glasses and a magazine (and earlier collaborated with Bernarr MacFadden on a correspondence course) detailing his approach to helping people relax such "strain", and thus, he claimed, improve their sight. His techniques centered on visualization and movement. The Bates method is an alternative therapy aimed at improving eyesight. He placed particular emphasis on imagining black letters and marks, and the movement of such. He also felt that exposing the eyes to sunlight would help alleviate the "strain". The efficacy of the method is questionable, and his theory that the eye does not focus by changing the power of the lens, but rather by elongating the eyeball, through use of the extraocular oblique muscles, was contradicted by mainstream ophthalmology and optometry of his day and still is today.</p>

Perfect Sight Without Glasses

<p>The Bates Method Nuggets are the golden nuggets of the Bates Method of natural eyesight improvement. These are true gems, in their original form, the way Dr. William H. Bates published them in his monthly Better Eyesight magazines in the 1920s.  Rather than reading the huge volume of information of all the magazines, Bates Method Nuggets contains the essence in a 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 an easy reference guide to the Bates Method, and is very useful to newcomers to the method as well as long-time Bates fans. You get the best of Dr. Bates' writings from the ten years after he published his book!</p>
