   +THE CURE OF IMPERFECT SIGHT BY TREATMENT WITHOUT GLASSES (Perfect Sight Without Glasses), 1920-1940.  9 print editions. By Ophthalmologist William Horatio Bates,
    M.D., Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat. Authors name on book; W. H. Bates.  Advertised in Better Eyesight Magazine Sept., 1919
Possibly advertised in other magazines, newspapers.

    Dr. Bates wrote Medical Articles, invented operations, discovered adrenalin, began his experiments and started to cure patient's eyesight naturally in 1886. He published
  
STRENGTHENING THE EYES - A New Course in Scientific Eye Training in 28 Lessonsa kit-book with Bernarr MacFadden, a Natural Health teacher, body builder in 1918.  Dr. Bates
   worked in hospitals, colleges treating patients without eyeglasses, surgery, drugs. He cured other doctor’s eyesight, taught them Ophthalmology and Natural Eyesight Improvement.
   This resulted in the head surgeon (Dr. Roosa, New York Post Graduate Hospital, Medical School) daring Dr. Bates to prove his statements about natural eye function are fact, then expelling Dr. Bates after Dr. Bates proved his discoveries are a fact and the natural practice is effective. (Read Reason and Authority - Man Not a Reasoning Being in the final chapter of Perfect Sight Without Glasses.)
     Dr. Bates and the Bates Method survived. He was welcome in many hospitals, colleges as he continued to prove his method works. He opened his own office, clinic in New York City. Thousands of people were cured of unclear eyesight, cataract, glaucoma and other conditions. Often Dr. Bates and Emily, his assistant provided free-no charge for treatment clinic days.  See his
Better Eyesight Magazine for hundreds of documented natural eyesight cures. 
    
Perfect Sight Without Glasses is Dr. Bates original, first book, it contains the complete, unedited antique edition. Treatments for blindness and other conditions.  Some prints from 1920 to 1940 have a picture removed, new added, bit of text changed in the fine print section... and the printers, address are different. The 1940 final print of the book contains;  a certificate, letter from T. K. Peters, Oglethorpe University, Ga., Oct., 18th, 1938 stating the book is preserved in the Crypt of Civilization for future generations. A small C eyechart with Suggestions To Patients and step by step directions How To Demonstrate the Fundamental Principles of Treatment are added by Emily A. Bates and an Appreciation by Dr. Bates' Church Reverend, Dr. Rev. Daniel Poling. Editions after 1940 have different titles, are not the complete version of Dr. Bates original book. Many of his natural treatments (The Sunglass, other Sunlight Treatments that can cure blindness, cataract... ), his experiments and all pictures are removed.
     5 original editions combined in one book are free in PDF E-book on our website and preserved in paperback. All 9 editions will be combined. I found 8 editions as of Sept, 2014. Single editions will also be created in paperback.       

+BETTER EYESIGHT (Better Eyesight Magazine) - A MONTHLY MAGAZINE DEVOTED TO THE PREVENTION AND CURE OF IMPERFECT SIGHT WITHOUT GLASSES  By Ophthalmologist William H. Bates.  1919    11 Years, July, 1919 to June, 1930.  132 Issues, 2400+ pages.   Includes  'STORIES  FROM THE CLINIC'  By Emily C. Lierman, A. Bates.   123 True Stories of Dr. Bates’ patient’s, treatments.  Better Eyesight Magazine describes how Dr. Bates and Emily Lierman/Bates and other teachers, doctors applied Natural Eyesight Improvement, the Bates Method to cure patients of unclear vision, ‘myopia, farsight, presbyopia, astigmatism’, crossed-wandering eyes, cataracts, glaucoma, blindness, conical cornea, cornea scars, retinitis pigmentosa and many other eye-vision problems, disease without use of eyeglasses, surgery, drugs. The true method, it’s origin. They teach how they did it and how to do it yourself. This proves the Bates Method works, is safe and healthy.
     Eye doctors, surgeons and the optical industry became angry, feared they would lose a lot of money as people were being cured naturally and did not need to purchase eyeglasses, surgery and drugs. The eye doctors, opticians tried to stop Dr. Bates from curing his patient's eyes-vision naturally, teaching Natural Eyesight Improvement to the public and certifying teachers.  To date; year 2014+, eye doctors, businesses that prefer to sell; eyeglasses, contact lenses, eye drops, drugs, cornea lasik, cataract... eye surgery continue to hide Natural Eyesight Improvement, the Bates Method, to prevent the public from learning how to obtain clear eyesight and cure, prevent eye problems, disease naturally, on their own.  Dr. Bates life history;

+STORIES FROM THE CLINIC  By Emily C. Lierman   1926
    
Doctor, patient experiences, natural treatments in Dr. Bates New York City Clinic, offices.  Emily C. Lierman’s eyesight was cured by Ophthalmologist William H. Bates. She then worked as Dr. Bates assistant in his Clinic in New York City, U.S.A. for many years. They married in 1928. Her name changed to Emily A. Bates.
     Emily Lierman, Bates is known for her kind, gentle, understanding way of treating, teaching adults and children how to obtain clear eyesight and healthy eyes naturally, and for her devotion to Dr. Bates work.  She continued teaching The Bates Method of Natural Eyesight Improvement after Dr. Bates passed away in 1931 and preserved his books, Better Eyesight Magazine. The book contains true stories of their patients, describes the natural treatments that Dr. Bates and Emily applied without use of eyeglasses, surgery, drugs to cure; Unclear Close and Distant Vision (Myopia, Farsight, Presbyopia), Astigmatism, Crossed, Wandering Eyes (Squint-Strabismus), Cataracts, Glaucoma, Cornea Ulcers, Scars, Blindness and other eye problems. A variety of patients, their eye-vision conditions were treated.
Dr. Bates, Emily’s patients became teachers, applied Natural Eyesight Improvement to cure many people in the United States and other countries. Children cured by Dr. Bates and Emily then cured their friends, parents, school teachers with the Bates Method. Emily’s ‘Stories From The Clinic’ were originally published in ‘Better Eyesight Magazine’ by Ophthalmologist William H. Bates, Central Fixation Publishing Co., New York City, U.S.A.
    
The stories in her book contain a few different, additional sentences, descriptions.  Free on this website. 

+THE BATES METHOD FOR BETTER EYESIGHT WITHOUT GLASSES
  By William H. Bates and Emily C. Lierman, A. Bates   1943   Emily A. Bates published the 1940 and 1943 editions of Dr. Bates book.
  European version; GOOD SIGHT WITHOUT GLASSES   
     1943 and later editions are not the complete version of Dr. Bates original book. Blindness cures; looking into the sun with eyes open (the correct way, specific directions, time limit, eyes moving, blinking...), the sunglass and other original treatments, experiments and all pictures are removed from the book. (Fear of
imprisonment, fines due to pressure from eye doctors, optical businesses trying to destroy Dr. Bates work, hide the truth.) Emily may have been reluctant to continue publishing Dr. Bates original book and its true title after Dr. Bates passed away in 1931 and Margaret Corbett, other Bates Method teachers were taken to court in the 1940’s by dishonest eye doctors trying to suppress the Bates Method so they can continue selling eyeglasses, surgery, drugs. Right before Dr. Bates died in 1931 the dishonest eye surgeons... planned to take him to court, take away his medical license and stop him from teaching his natural method.  Emily A. Bates' list of the basic practices 'Fundamental Principles of Treatment' are placed at the end of the 1940, 1943 books. My two copies state; copyright; 1940, 1943 by Emily A. Bates. 1940 is the original, has extra pages. 1943 has a full-size Big C Eyechart. Page 53; picture of the human eye.  1968, 18th printing. Owl Book edition 1981.  Other books are labeled by different titles.  Some people alter, corrupt the book’s method.
      (Clearsight Publishing Co. has all of Emily's treatments included 'legally, public domain' from Dr. Bates Better Eyesight Magazine in our reproduction of Dr. Bates original 1920 to 1940 editions combined.)

Two of the Best Eye Doctors, Scientists That Studied the Human Eye, Lens,
Accommodation and Refraction Of Light Rays;
   

    Hermann Von Helmholtz  Ophthalmologist Ferdinand Von Arlt - Originally studied the theory that the eye accommodates by lengthening, 'like a camera'.    Helmholtz at work   Helmholtz with Inventions   

Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz, Great German Scientist, inventor, philosopher, physics, contributed to optics, electrodynamics, mathematics, physiology, meteorology, measured the speed of the nerve impulse, submitted a theory of color vision, the perception of musical tones. From 'Psychology and Life’, 6th edition. Read the chapter on vision, page 264. Great description of eye movements, fixations, left and right brain hemisphere function with the eyes...  He studied the eyes’ lens and invented instruments to inspect the inside of the eye, light rays, retina, lens... 'the ophthalmoscope and ophthalmometer'.  He stated his experiments developed the theory that the eyes lens changes shape to produce accommodation, clear close vision. Dr. Bates disagreed with this and produced experiments, stated that the eye changes shape during accommodation but the lens does not. He stated the eye lengthens from front to back during accommodation, 'for clear close vision'. Dr. Bates definitely proved as fact that the outer eye muscles, 'oblique and recti', when tense alter the eyes shape, the eyes refraction of light rays, pressure.., clarity of vision at close and far distances causing; unclear vision, astigmatism, cataract, glaucoma, strabismus and other eye-vision conditions. When the mind, body and eye muscles relax, these conditions are reversed, cured.  Ophthalmologist Ferdinand Von Arlt originally studied the theory that the eye accommodates by lengthening, 'like a camera'.  Modern eye doctors state they have proved that the lens and eye change shape during accommodation. The eye lengthens a bit when the lens changes shape. So, Dr. Bates and Arlt, Helmholtz are right. Tension in any eye muscle; the outer oblique, recti and inner ciliary-lens, iris-pupil muscles and even the tear gland and eyelid-blinking muscles can affect eachother's function, the eyes function and the clarity of vision. Neck, shoulder and even back, body muscle tension, incorrect posture can affect the eye muscles and clarity of vision.

+STRENGTHENING THE EYES - A New Course in Scientific Eye Training in 28 Lessons  By Bernarr A. Macfadden and William H. Bates, M.D.   1918, 1924, 1925.     His first book;
+Strong Eyes - How weak Eyes Can Be Strengthened And Spectacles Discarded  1901. 
     Possibly the first person or one of the first people to write a book about Natural Eyesight Improvement. 1901 is a good book, has wonderful poetry.., but needed some improvement. Contains a few practices I do not recommend. In later years, MacFadden with the help of Dr. Bates wrote a new book with many changes, additions; The 1918, 1924-1925 book ‘eyesight kit’ editions of 'STRENGTHENING THE EYES' is a result of Bernarr MacFadden learning Ophthalmologist William H. Bates Method of Natural Eyesight Improvement, in person training from Dr. Bates.  MacFadden published
Physical Culture ; A fitness, natural health, food, body building magazine. In this magazine and other magazines, newspapers Dr. Bates and MacFadden advertised the Bates Method, their ‘Strengthening the Eyes' Natural Eyesight Course consisting of training booklets, 28 lessons and an eyechart. This and Dr. Bates Medical Articles, work around 1886 started the Natural Eyesight (Vision) Improvement revolution.   In later years MacFadden turned the kit into a book.
     Dr. Bates name was on most 1918-1925 red cover kits as author with MacFadden. Later book editions were authored only by MacFadden. Did Dr. Bates want to change, improve some of the practices in the book? Or maybe he preferred to place all his attention on his projects; Better Eyesight Magazine, Perfect Sight Without Glasses, Medical Articles, Clinic work. Bates 1919-1920 book, magazines contain many new practices. (Clearsight Publishing Co.,
https://www.cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/  has added the Original and Modern Bates Method training to MacFadden's book; changed, corrected some practices, treatments and added new practices while maintaining the original text, pictures, practices 'entire book'.)
    
MacFadden's practice of looking at 'shifting on' small parts of a close object (pencil), then looking beyond it to a far object on the horizon; looking at the far object's small parts, then back to the pencil, then far, then pencil... improves the eyesight quickly to 20/20 and clearer. Perfect convergence, divergence improve all eye-vision function. Bernarr MacFadden is one of the first Natural Health, Physical Fitness teachers. Sadly, he died in 1955 from a urinary tract infection after refusing standard medical doctor's treatment.  Many people have improved their vision with the Bates Method. It is hidden by the medical community due to its success, competition; prevents need for glasses, surgery... The Bates Method works if the patient will learn and apply it. Many people prefer eyeglasses or surgery; a quick fix with no study, practice. Glasses, contacts, surgery are addictive, maintain and increase eye-vision problems, cause cataract, detached retina...  With a little practice the Bates Method ‘natural eye-vision function’ becomes automatic and conscious practice is not needed. 
    
+EL USO NATURAL DE LA VISION (THE NATURAL USE OF VISION)  By Dr. Ramon Ruiz Arnau, M.D.  1924
Spanish - Berkley, CA Optometry Library;
https://search.library.berkeley.edu    Also preserved in the Library of Congress.
Studied, successfully taught Dr. Bates Method. From Dr. Bates in Better Eyesight Magazine, Nov., 1924;
    
"This book should appeal to Spanish-speaking people, because it contains numerous demonstrations of the truth which make it possible to cure imperfect sight by treatment without glasses. In the magazine, "Better Eyesight," of May, 1920, is an article by Dr. Arnau with the title "My Headaches" in which he describes at length how he was cured of chronic headaches and imperfect sight by treatment without glasses. As a result of his cure he has become able to give relief to his patients.  The author's most important contribution is his claim that the true use of the ciliary muscle is not to increase the curvature of the lens when the eye is focused for reading at the near point, but just the opposite: The ciliary muscle prevents any change of form in the curvature of the crystalline lens.  He has written a great deal about mind strain as the real and only cause of defective eye-sight. He discusses the unconscious movements of the vegetative functions of the body, circulation, respiration and the constant mental shifting as entirely in accord with the new ideas of Einstein, Korbzyski and others. The Tachorthoscope was discovered by Dr. Arnau. It is an apparatus for the treatment of patients who are not benefited promptly by other methods.   (It shows that voluntary or artificial attention, as is with spontaneous attention, oscillates, needs alternate contractions and relaxations. Forcing one fixation causes fatigue, lowers the vision.., perfect perception. Constant voluntary muscle contraction creates spasms, results in many impaired body, mind... functions.)  He has also investigated the use of music by which some patients find an easy way to obtain a short swing through the auditory memory."

+BETTER SIGHT WITHOUT GLASSES OR CONTACT LENSES  By Harry Benjamin  N. D.   1929 
Also wrote a book on his experience with Myopia, books on Diet and Vegetarianism. Cured many people of defective sight. Describes how glasses impair the eyes natural accommodation, other functions. Good chapter on Mental Strain.
Lot of pictures, easy to learn; the sway, swing, looking close and far to return natural accommodation, memory, imagination...  Nutrition for the eyes.  Very good book. Possibly trained with Dr. Bates.

+THE IMPROVEMENT OF SIGHT BY NATURAL METHODS - A Complete Treatise Upon the Newer Methods of Treating all Conditions of Imperfect Sight by Natural Means, and Obviating the Necessity for Glasses, Drugs, or Operations   1934   By Cecil S. Price
     Trained by Ophthalmologist Bates. Captain of the Australian Army Medical Corps, Principal of the School of Eyesight Training (London). This is from Dr. Bates in Better Eyesight Magazine, Jan., and Mar., 1925;
     "Capt. C. S. Price, of London, England, will visit Dr. Bates around the latter part of January. He is planning to discuss with Dr. Bates the best methods which are employed for the cure of imperfect sight without glasses. The spread of Dr. Bates' method in England is largely due to Capt. Price's enthusiasm and success in helping others. There are now two clinics, and a Better Eyesight League in England, all reporting favorable results. Capt. Price has been the guest of Dr. Bates for several weeks. Dr. Bates wishes to announce that he finds Captain Price thoroughly capable of curing imperfect sight by his methods."

+SIGHT WITHOUT GLASSES  By Optometrist, Dr. Harold M. Peppard   1936
    
Worked with and was trained in The Bates Method by Ophthalmologist Bates. Continued Dr. Bates work in New York City with Dr. Bates' wife Emily A. Bates after Dr. Bates death in 1931.
     Book has step by step Bates Method directions for various eye problems. The effect health, stress, diet, neck, shoulder tension and headaches... have on the eyes, vision. He states that imperfect, slow-stiff close distance eye convergence sometimes occurs as we age and is the cause of presbyopia, unclear reading vision.  It is easily corrected. The Bates Method, long swing and reading fine, microscopic print is the natural cure.  Glasses cause stiffness, impair convergence, accommodation.
     After Dr. Bates passed away, the eye doctors that prefer to sell eyeglasses, eye surgery and drugs, to hide the Bates Method, Dr. Bates work and discoveries tried to destroy Dr. Bates books, Better Eyesight Magazines. Emily Lierman, A. Bates and others preserved Dr. Bates work. Dr. Peppard and other honest doctors helped to protect Emily during this time and preserve Dr. Bates Original unedited book 'Perfect Sight Without Glasses', His Medical Articles and 132 Monthly Better Eyesight Magazine Issues.  See picture on the right >  Dr. Monroe J. Hirsch preserves Dr. Bates magazines in a medical college library.  (Movies, books Dr. Bates and Emily stated they created and were in process of creating are ‘missing’.)

+USE YOUR OWN EYES   1937  
+NORMAL SIGHT WITHOUT GLASSES
   By Dr. William B. MacCracken, M.D.   1945 
     Trained by Dr. Bates. Very successful in his medial practice curing his patient’s eyesight with the Bates Method. A blind student I work with has success with this doctor's book.  From the book;
     In many cases it is quite practicable to teach a patient who is having trouble with eyesight how to correct the abnormal function and regain good normal vision. There are different techniques, or procedures, in the method originated by Dr. Bates. They are all very simple, and they are varied so that they are adaptable to every kind of condition, and temperament and opportunity. In this book all of these practices will be described so that it will be possible to learn definitely from the text how to carry them out.
       Dr. MacCracken’s books are free to download on this website. 

 +SEEING WITHOUT GLASSES  By Dr. Emery C. Ingham   1941  Dr. Ingham was trained in the Bates Method of Natural Eyesight Improvement by her mother, Doctor Clara Ingham who was trained in person by Ophthalmologist Bates, the founder of the Bates Method of Natural Eyesight Improvement. Both had clear eyesight their entire life. She is mentioned in Dr. Bates monthly magazine as a qualified teacher and she posted in the magazine;
      By Dr. Bates;  Dr. Ingham, who also practices by Dr. Bates' method, is going back to Oregon. She will have access to the orphanage, and expects to start the system there free of charge.Aldous Huxley Dr. Ingham is a true member of the League. She not only gives her time, but her valuable experience in curing defective eyesight. She is most enthusiastic and we hope to hear very favorable results of her work in Oregon, and that a BETTER EYESIGHT LEAGUE is established there.  Perfect Book!  Video;

+THE ART OF SEEING   By Aldous Huxley   1942   Almost blind, he learned the Bates Method, was trained by Margaret Corbett and improved his eyesight, could see without glasses, prevented the full, permanent blindness that his eye doctors stated would definitely occur.  Sunlight and palming were two of his favorite practices.  Famous writer ‘Brave New World and other books. Read his experience in Margaret Corbett’s story below.  The easy directions, practices in his book helped many people achieve clear eyesight.  My first Bates Teacher.

Margaret Corbett - Trained by Dr. Bates. Cured Aldous Huxley, Prevented Blindness. Fought in Court Many Times to Protect the Right of the Public to Teach Natural Eyesight Improvement+HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SIGHT - SIMPLE DAILY DRILLS IN RELAXATION
(How to Improve Your Eyes)   1938    +HELP YOURSELF TO BETTER SIGHT   1949
+A QUICK GUIDE TO BETTER VISION; HOW TO HAVE GOOD EYESIGHT WITHOUT GLASSES
   By Margaret Corbett   1957
     Margaret Corbett is a Natural Eyesight Improvement teacher that worked with and was trained as a Bates teacher by Dr. Bates. She cured famous writer Aldous Huxley's eyesight, saved him from blindness. She improved the eyesight of many people, including pilots and people of various professions in the military, stars in Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
     In the 1940’s, California; eye doctors and people in the optical-medical profession tried to stop Margaret Corbett and her assistant from teaching the public how to improve their eyesight naturally and stop use of eyeglasses. They accused her of practicing optometry without a license. They brought her and others to court a few times. Aldous Huxley and other cured Bates Method graduates were witnesses, testified for Margaret Corbett. Huxley proved that she improved his eyesight, he sees clear without glasses. Many people proved she cured them of cataract, near blindness and other eye-vision conditions, proved they had healthy retinas due to Bates’ sunlight practice and obtained clear eyesight, freedom from eyeglasses.
She won the 2 cases brought against her and later improved the eyesight of more people that were in the courtroom that day and worldwide.  Other teachers won similar cases.
     Aldous Huxley Before Natural Vision Improvement. Strong Glasses, Partial BlindnessShe was
accused of violating the Medical Practice Act of CA for treating the eyes without a license. Mrs. Corbett explained in court that she was not practicing optometry or ophthalmology, is not acting as a doctor. That she is only an instructor of eyesight training.  After she won the cases; the optometrists and ophthalmologists fought back by proposing a bill in the CA State Legislature to cause eyesight education to be illegal without an optometry... or medical license.
The bill was defeated.  New York succeeded in passing bills. Emily A. Bates, in N.Y. was affected by this abuse.  The bills were eventually discontinued.
     Huxley wrote the book; 'The Art of Seeing' in 1942 to describe the Bates Method and how his eyesight was cured.  See his pictures on the right > ;   top picture - strong, thick eyeglasses, unclear eyesight, near blindness before Natural Eyesight Improvement.  Bottom picture - without eyeglasses, he has clear eyesight after his eyes-sight was cured by the Bates Method.
    Critics state that later in life, Huxley was giving a speech and could not read part of a page without using a magnifyer glass. People must realize that it is normal for the clarity of vision to fluctuate and especially when under pressure, a bit nervous giving a speech while knowing 'certain people' will be working against him, hoping his vision won't be perfect. Aldous Huxley had a major eye problem, was almost completely blind before treatment from Margaret Corbett. Age 16; attack of keratitis punctate, had opacities on the cornea blocking his vision, hyperopia, astigmatism. He wore very strong glasses for years and used a powerful magnifying glass to read. These things further impaired his vision. The Bates Method helped correct this.
His eye injuries were not 100% cured but after the Bates Method he could see well.  Due to the injuries he used a magnifier occasionally, mainly to see in dim light. Read Aldous wife’s book for facts;  his eyesight and the Bates Method;
This Timeless Moment; A Personal View of Aldous Huxley by Laura Archera Huxley.    Margaret Corbett published other books.
    
Aldous Huxley After Natual Vision Improvement. No Glasses. Blindness Prevented, Sees Clear
For many years, since eyeglasses were invented and sold to the public, eye doctors and optical businesses that prefer to hide the truth about Natural Eyesight Improvement and to prescribe/sell eyeglasses, eye surgery and drugs have tried to stop true Bates Method teachers from teaching the public how to cure unclear eyesight and other eye problems naturally without glasses, surgery and drugs. Bates teachers are often threatened with lawsuits, fines, imprisonment by organized eye doctors, surgeons. Eyeglasses are addictive, lead to prescriptions for stronger and stronger lenses, cause and increase; mental strain, eye muscle tension, eyestrain, vision impairment, abnormal eye, cornea, lens shape, tension on and inside the eye, cornea, lens, retina, optic nerve, eye muscle nerves, capillaries and all parts of the eye, increase eye pressure resulting in; unclear eyesight, astigmatism, crossed/wandering eyes, cataracts, detached retina, broken retina blood vessels, macula degeneration, glaucoma and other eye problems. Eye doctors prescribe laser and other cornea surgeries which are very harmful to the eyes and result in unclear day and night vision, blindness, pain, light streaks, halos, impaired light tolerance and other eye-vision problems. Lifelong sales of eye drops, other treatments, more destructive surgery and eyeglasses after cornea surgery profit the doctors and drug companies.  (Some honest eye doctors are teaching the Bates Method.) Natural Eyesight Improvement improves the clarity of eyesight and health of the eyes without side effects.

+RELAX AND SEE; A DAILY GUIDE TO BETTER VISION
  By Clara A. Hackett   1955   Great Natural Vision Improvement teacher. One of the first Bates Method Teachers.  She placed some of her training in audio. I heard it once. Can’t find a copy. May have trained with Dr. Bates, Margaret Corbett and other Bates teachers.

Original and Modern Natural Vision Improvement. She has a lifetime of experience learning and teaching this method with her mom and family.  Very good book!  I do not use the artificial 3-D fusion ‘Merging Circles’... (also called Auto-Streograms) in the Goodrich books. Prefer it to be applied by an eye doctor and only if absolutely necessary.  It's only for an Optometrist, Ophthalmologist to apply a specific way for each individual case if necessary to treat strabismus. The Bates Method alone can correct crossed, wandering eyes without the artificial 3-D.  The Goodrich books, school also has natural 3-D practices. Books are definitely worth reading!

With his experiments he proved the healthy effects sunlight has on the body, brain, eyes and eyesight. Dr. Bates observed and proved many times that lack of sunlight causes unclear vision, cataracts, many eye diseases and blindness. The eyes must have full spectrum sunlight, no eyeglasses, to remain healthy and see clear.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160115004215/http://naturalvisioncenter.com/index.html
     Thomas Quackenbush is an Original and Modern Bates Method, Natural Vision Improvement teacher. He is the first person, the pioneer (after Dr. Bates) that restored Dr. Bates Better Eyesight Magazine, preserved 11 years, 132 issues into one book. Tom’s book, the magazines brought Dr. Bates work, the entire Bates Method, true Natural Vision Improvement to the modern public.
     Tom is the first modern teacher that has not hidden Dr. Bates Better Eyesight Magazine, books. Many teachers before him took full credit for Ophthalmologist Bates work and hid Dr. Bates magazines, books so the public could not learn for free, have complete training.
This true source of the Bates Method was and still is hidden because; it is simple, easy and people do not have to pay money to learn, apply and teach it. It’s free in libraries in the U.S., Europe. Mr. Quackenbush's books also enable people that are low income, cannot travel to have access to the best, complete and honest priced Natural Vision Improvement Training. 
     Tom is one of my 1st Natural Vision Improvement Teachers.
I obtained clearer than 20/20 eyesight at close and far distances as a result of taking a natural vision course from him at his school when he taught in San Francisco, California.
I studied his books, the original Better Eyesight Magazines and learned all practices of the TRUE Original and the Modern Bates Method. Resulted in seeing the small bottom 10 eyechart line and smaller lines at 20 to 40 feet! My ability to relax, state of mind, self-esteem, emotions, intelligent and creative thinking improved. I quit a dangerous job at a hotel in South San Francisco, CA, quit drinking too much beer and found an honest doctor that cured a neck injury/dizziness after insights about natural alternative medicine, therapy from taking Thomas Quackenbush's class.

 RESTORING YOUR EYESIGHT - A TAOIST APPROACH  By Doug Marsh, Foreword By Thomas R. Quackenbush   2006   

Excellent Natural Vision training and in depth information about how the mind, emotions, thoughts... influence eyesight. Describes how eyeglasses injure the eyes, vision; how they are most always prescribed too strong and incorrect leading to fast impairment of the vision and eyes’ health causing addiction to stronger and stronger eyeglass lenses. One example; Abnormal lighting in the exam room and eye test machine ups the prescription; its too strong.  Mr. Marsh attended Thomas Quackenbush's school, studied his books and other teacher’s books, training.  I learned a lot from this book.

HEALING BACK PAIN - The Mind-Body Connection   John E. Sarno, M.D   1979+  Many books, natural pain... cures.

+The ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE,  Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Dance, Physical Therapy and other methods to correct the posture, movement, balance, coordination, function of the body with the eyes and eyesight; brings clear eyesight, improved hearing and other health benefits.  Incorrect posture-movement causes tension, pressure, pulling of the vertebrae, muscles in the body, back and especially the neck, shoulders and head. This causes tension, pressure and pulling on the spine, spinal cord, brainstem, nerves, blood, lymph vessels in the spine, body, neck, and those that travel to the head, brain, ears, sinus.., eyes, retina, eye muscles. This disrupts function of the eyes, eye muscles, retina, lens, hearing, balance and even the brain and optic nerve. This results in unclear eyesight, impaired eye health and impairs coordinated, relaxed movement of the head, body with the eyes and a relaxed mobile neck. Correct, relaxed eye movement (shifting, convergence, divergence...) is restricted, stiff and unbalanced. Correct posture, movement, relaxation, good diet returns the body, mind/brain, eyes and eye muscles to normal health and function resulting in clear eyesight. I prefer Physical Therapy, Movement, Tai Chi and other natural movements, postures like the Alexander Technique invented by Frederick Matthias Alexander. Dr. Bates likes these methods, doctors.  Three teacher’s books on movement, the mind;

+ THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE: THE ESSENTIAL WRITINGS OF   Frederick Matthias Alexander.

Be sure to obtain THEIR books. Not new ones created by different teachers that alter or impersonate the method. A few originals are free on GoogleBooks.  Public domain books are on the website e-books page and the GuestPage;
https://naturaleyesightimprovement-batesmethod.com/GuestPage/index.php

 BOOKS TEACHING HOW THE BODY, BRAIN and EYES CONNECT, WORK TOGETHER;  How the body, neck muscles, nerves, circulation affect, connect to the head, brain, certain parts, functions of the brain, eyes, ears-hearing, sinus and other systems. Some teachers combine training of the Alexander Method... with other movement... methods. Some teachers are very good but others impersonate the original teachers, authors and teach incorrect. Choose carefully.  I have used two spine, neck alignment methods ‘without touching, twisting... my neck, spine’. They are safe alternatives to the risky, often dangerous method of chiropractic. Also used various physical therapy/movement methods, some yoga. I prefer to stay with the original books by Frederick Matthias Alexander and other safe methods. One popular eye-body teacher is strange; he sells unnatural methods such as pinhole glasses without listing the side effects. Much of his training seems to be ‘made up’, missing parts, not teaching the true connection of the body, nerves, muscles with the eyes and brain.
     I prefer study of ophthalmology, nervous, circulatory, lymph, energy systems, muscles, massage, myofascial release (to relax contracted muscles, muscle knots, improve blood, lymph flow, and improve the muscle stretch reflex), acupressure and EFT.   The spiritual, energy bodies also affect the health of the physical body and mind. Healing from a higher ^ level.

My experience with other teachers, good and bad; After years of study, application I disagree with some teacher's methods. I do not like most of a very popular high priced teacher’s eyesight training. It’s unnatural.
     Example; his blocking the eyes’ central field with a black paper while using only the peripheral field to see with. This is directly against Ophthalmologist Bates #1 practice of central-fixation and normal eye shifting ‘movement’. Central-fixation, 'central vision' with normal, completely free eye shifting is essential for clear eyesight, healthy eyes. It cures glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration, myopia, presbyopia, astigmatism and other eye-vision problems, keeps the central vision perfectly clear, better than 20/20 and the peripheral at its maximum normal function. Using the peripheral field to see the object of mental-visual attention (placing the object you want to see in the eyes peripheral field) causes glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration, myopia, presbyopia, astigmatism and other eye-vision problems.
     The unnatural
teacher’s physical movement, yoga book made me realize there are alternative
ways to heal a neck, spine injury that was caused by a dishonest chiropractor, but; he teaches some movements, muscle practices wrong. His specialty is supposed to be movement, muscle relaxation, posture but he teaches things that impair these functions. His ‘palming’ hands position is set with the hands straight up, side by side. This causes neck, head and shoulder tension (a main cause of unclear eyesight) and prevents brain hemisphere integration and activation of a major chi-charka energy center.
The hands fingers must be crossed on the forehead for complete benefit.
Try it and feel the difference;
https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id49.html  One of his movements helped. I then searched for other movement, posture teachers. It took many different physical therapists, doctor's books, tools, methods and better movements to correct the neck, spine.
   
I don't like teachers that alter, corrupt Dr. Bates Method, make it unnatural in order to ‘create their own method’ so it attracts attention, can be mass marketed, sold for a very high price by the hour lessons, expensive seminars, endless $300.00 to $5000.00+ multi-level training, teach things that are harmful, hold back training and hide the true, easy Bates Method.
      Be aware of this and avoid them.
Many videos on the internet contain partial or incorrect training.

I now refuse to allow most doctors and even natural healers to touch my head, neck, spine...  The chiropractors injured me on purpose. They did not like my webpage that describes how chiropractic has become corrupt, the main secret method they use to misalign the spine, back, hips, neck and head in order to sell endless treatments. I quit chiropractors after a few broke, dislocated my neck resulting in vertigo, ringing ears.., hospital visits. It is dangerous even when in the hands of a honest doctor. A bad masseuse pressed hard on my lower spine vertebrae and caused loss of feeling in my legs. A good masseuse and doctor corrected it and permanently cured back pain. The DORN Method by Thomas Zudrell is very good.
I was advised not to use the tool on my ’broken’ neck but the movements and other treatments are great and aligned my body naturally! I used the tool on some areas.
https://www.dorn-method.com/  A few honest chiropractors taught me what the dishonest ones did to injure me, then taught me how to undo the injuries, misalignments without using the invasive bone, cartilage twisting forms of chiropractic.  Read experiences here;  https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id150.htm

Many teacher's prices for in person training and teacher certification are extremely high. I wish their greedy leader and others would give free training to the blind. Many blind, semi-blind people called him and a famous lady teacher and other high priced teachers; asked about this and they answered; “they do not help the blind or anyone for free”. Just a seminar (but that's limited and mainly for advertisement). Semi-blind people also asked them; “If a person is going blind, is wearing strong -6, -8 and up glasses; should they stop wearing the glasses?” The teachers said NO, to keep wearing the glasses. This is very bad advice from these teachers, their leader and his staff. Eyeglasses, especially strong prescriptions cause and increase detached retina, other retina problems, macula degeneration, cataract, glaucoma, myopia, presbyopia, astigmatism and most all eye-vision problems. Wearing the glasses can lead to retina detachment, blindness. Stopping the use of eyeglasses will help the retina heal and reverse blindness, other eye problems.  The dishonest teachers also told us they cannot say if the leader’s method is Ophthalmologist Bates Method and said; “That question has to be asked to the leader in person only, you must travel to his location, pay $”. But in his books, school he uses Dr. Bates’ name. (deceptive)
This teacher alters, corrupts the Bates Method.
He hides Dr. Bates true method, book and Better Eyesight Magazines.

     Many people with retina conditions, cataract, glaucoma, partially or full blind, advanced myopia, presbyopia, astigmatism, cross eye... have contacted me for free help after teachers have taken their money and not given complete training, then ask for more money, have given incorrect training or refused to give free training. It is cruel, inhuman to allow a person to go blind because they have little money. Many blind people are on disability, a limited income.
     The blind people the popular teacher and other dishonest teachers reject can be helped. It's so easy to teach; just tell them to stop wearing the eyeglasses and give them the basic ten steps in our free e-books and Dr. Bates book, Better Eyesight Magazines. Many have regained their vision with these simple practices and some, including senior citizens on pensions are now teaching, curing others for free. A Mormon in Utah is integrating the Bates Method with the Bible and its natural health cures. His pure salt and water recipes greatly helped heal my neck and other injuries. Glasses prevent normal eye, brain function. When glasses are removed the eyes activate Natural Eyesight Improvement automatically, 'on their own', the normal eye-visual system functionDishonest teachers hide this fact.
They make the Bates Method seem long, complicated. Avoid these crooks charging hundreds, thousands of dollars for classes, more for teacher training. Note; if a teacher will not give the full training free to help a blind, partially blind person; they are dishonest. Avoid them.

     The popular high priced teacher in San Francisco, CA states he was blind at birth, had cataracts, eye operations that caused lens injury and other eye problems. He states he cured his eyesight naturally, can now see clear to drive without glasses. His sight is not 20/20 clear but he achieved a lot if he is telling the truth about his past eye conditions and surgery results. I sometimes suspect he is hiding the full truth. He states the Bates Method cured his sight. But he teaches so much of it wrong. If it healed him; I think he is hiding the true, entire Bates Method which he used for himself, is refusing to fully reveal it to others. Or he only learned some of it. He invents his own stuff but it’s not healthy and often not entirely effective. This enables him to sell more and more classes, holding back training until more money is paid and then he still hides complete training. Many bad teachers do this. I wish he would give due credit to Dr. Bates by telling the truth and preserving and providing Dr. Bates books, Better Eyesight Magazines which are free-public domain and contain complete Natural Eyesight Improvement training. Please teach the entire and true, correct method.  I wish these teachers would stop altering, corrupting and hiding Dr. Bates Method in order to make it 'their own method' so they can charge a high price.
     To all teachers that use these underhanded practices; PLEASE change your heart, stop destroying Dr. Bates great method. Teach it correct, for an honest price and set up free help for the blind and low vision people. At least give 1 day a week and 30 min. to 1 hour a day in person or Skype, Google, Phone. Give the gift of sight that heaven gave you to others.

     All Dr. Bates books, magazines are free on our website. Distribute them free to the public when you train people. Don't lie to us, saying your method is superior to Dr. Bates. That's just an excuse to take people’s money. Dr. Bates’ method is true and free.  These bad guys also corrupt Dr. Bates method because dishonest eye doctors like this, will endorse it.

     If a teacher does not provide Ophthalmologist Bates Better Eyesight Magazines, books, Medical Articles and his wife Emily Lierman's book Stories From The Clinic; then the teacher is withholding the true, entire method.
     Avoid teachers charging hundreds of dollars for Dr. Bates Better Eyesight Magazines, books.
(The books, magazines are free in the Library Of Congress and some Optometry, Ophthalmology college libraries, on our website and GoogleBooks.)

     There are other teachers, people that have preserved Dr. Bates work but they use Dr. Bates' name, books and magazines to sell eyeglasses, eye-cornea surgery and other unnatural treatments, products. I will not list them. Endorsing corrupt behavior gives the person the idea that he, she has a license to continue these practices that harm the public's health, sight.  
    
Even some teachers that are certified to teach by famous, excellent teachers become corrupt; after they get their diploma, they then alter the Bates method, make it unnatural, teach it wrong and speak against their teacher. They do this so the method they teach is different, they can call it 'their own' and charge a high price, direct students away from the honest teacher that certified them.

Books, kits, courses in person and home study. Janet and Carina have taught Natural Vision Improvement in their school for many years, helped people remove a variety of eye-vision problems. Also wrote books for correction of children’s vision. Relaxation, positive thoughts, emotions, movement, games, brain hemisphere balancing, color and other techniques. Also provides treatment for strabismus, books for adults, and parents to help baby's and children's vision.  I read all of the Goodrich books. Learned much from her books and website. They improved my teaching skills and keep my eyesight clear. Like the diverse practices, breathing and relaxation with positive thoughts, emotions.  Janet cured her eye-vision conditions naturally; she had a very strong astigmatism prescription around -5 with -6 myopia and strabismus. Took her 2 ½ years to cure them all, see clear, pass her driving test without glasses.

(Some people experience quick cures, 1-2 days to 2-3 months, get perfect clarity when they remove their glasses and practice the Bates Method. It can take other people longer, but with practice they will achieve clear eyesight, permanent freedom from glasses. Depends upon the type, amount of tension in the visual system, eyes, eye muscles, the mind, body. Many years wearing glasses often disrupts the eyes movement and causes neck tension, advanced eye muscle tension... Coordinating and relaxing eye movement, improving, equalizing the clarity of sight in both eyes often brings fast results. Emotions have an effect.  But, some who wore glasses for years get quick cures. )

     (I don't use the ‘Merging Circles’... Artificial 3-D Fusion, (Autostereograms-Magic Eyes pictures) in the Goodrich books. It’s not the Bates Method. I prefer Dr. Bates Method of looking close and far and the Bead String, Phoria Swings... Janet, Carina also teach these and many more natural fusion practices. I prefer auto-stereograms to be applied only by an eye doctor. Done a certain way with direction by an optometrist, ophthalmologist ‘Behavioral Optometry’; a specific type of Artificial 3-D might correct strabismus, (crossed, wandering eyes) but it can cause it if done wrong, trying to do it alone from a book... Read my and others experience with Artificial 3-D on the website, in my book and on the following pages.  Try the Bates Method first. If you need the extras, contact an eye doctor.  Find an expert in brain hemisphere and other brain area functions, its effect on relaxation, contraction, un-contraction of eye muscles and eye movement (shifting and looking close and far) and how mind-brain strain can cause eye muscle tension. Some eye doctors know this. The Goodrich school teaches this. Also start here; Edu-Kinesthetics, Whole Brain Learning.  https://www.braingym.com/shop/    I don’t use pinhole glasses. The Goodrichs state that they are not natural and provide insight on their function. If needed; I prefer a different type pinhole glasses; one hole in the cardboard per eye so the fovea is not blocked when the eyes move. Move the head with the eyes. Use only if necessary. Not for driving... due to much of the peripheral field is blocked. Mainly for reading, quick glance at a object.   (I am not familiar with all the other teachers, doctors linked on the Goodrich website. One is my teacher but I don’t list him.  They should also place Thomas Quackenbush, Janet’s best on there!) Preserve all of Janet and Carina’s books. Some of Janet’s books (Natural Vision Improvement) might not be listed, so check used bookstores.

There are more true Bates teachers that provide perfect training but have no school, books. They teach for free on-line. Their internet names are available on request. See the training certificates webpage and chapter in this book and here; https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id60.html   Teachers trained and certified directly by Dr. Bates posted in his Better Eyesight Magazine;  PDF list ,  and here;  https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id4.html  and below.

THERE ARE OTHER VERY GOOD TEACHERS in the USA and OTHER COUNTRIES; I do not list-endorse them if I have not taken their in person or home study course and/or studied their books. I have certificates, receipts from 5. Some teachers I have taken courses from, read their books are ½ to ¾ percent natural, they teach some very effective, healthy methods. Contact me for names and information, the beneficial methods they teach and the unnatural methods to avoid.
    
I have learned from more teachers but I don’t list them because they have gone against their original training and are selling unnatural methods and products, cornea laser surgery and other harmful cornea, eye surgeries, dangerous eye-vision experimental retina and other surgery ‘done on perfectly healthy eyes!’, practices that impair the vision, eyes’ movement and health. Some are advising all children, adults to wear glasses. That IS NOT the Bates Method.
     Three teachers asked me to raise the price of my e-books and charge money for the videos; $175.00. They continually try to prevent free public access to the books, videos, Dr. Bates magazines. After I refused to raise the price and then set all the e-books for free download; the teachers have become abusive, lot of cruel messages in emails, phone, online forums.

     Some Natural Vision teachers are organized into groups and post their members, prices on their website. Teachers must pay a yearly fee to be part of the group and listed. Note they limit free books, training unless you pay. I don't like some of the arrogant teachers that charge high prices and endorse lasik, contact lenses, magic eyes, pinhole glasses... They flip-flop on issues so they can please everyone ‘customers’, even if that means allowing unnatural methods that impair the eyesight.
Teachers are creating laws to present to dishonest politicians, doctors to force the public to pay thousands of dollars to be certified as a teacher, by them. This will make it illegal to teach the public the Bates Method unless you are certified.

     For true Natural Eyesight Improvement; I prefer to stay solely with Ophthalmologist Bates original training from his book 'Perfect Sight Without Glasses', his 'Better Eyesight Magazine' and Thomas Quackenbush (my favorite teacher) for student and teacher training, certification and a few other teachers that stay with the true, natural Bates Method. Modern training is also beneficial if it is natural.  I am confident in Thomas Quackenbush’s way of training. I can send people to him knowing they will be in a safe place. Tom provides all Dr. Bates Better Eyesight Magazines, his own book Relearning To See-Improve Your Eyesight Naturally, complete original and modern training for a honest price.
 
Other teachers I like are from the old days; Dr. Bates, Emily C. Lierman/Bates, Optometrist Harold M. Peppard, Dr. Emery C. Ingham and her mother - a doctor that was trained directly by Dr. Bates; Dr. Clara Ingham, C. S. Price, Margaret Corbett, Aldous Huxley, Clara Hackett, Dr. R. Ruiz Arnau, M.D. and other original teachers. Many that were trained in person by Dr. Bates are listed in his Better Eyesight Magazine. Search for their books. Also check members of Dr. Bates, Emily’s Better Eyesight League. Started in the USA and grew in Europe, many countries. They preserved Dr. Bates method, books.
     Better Eyesight and the League are listed in the Library Of Congress. Search for Dr. Bates Better Eyesight (with and without the word magazine) preserved in 14 Volumes. Maybe others are preserved. They have Dr. Bates book Perfect Sight Without Glasses 1st and 1940 editions, often titled The Cure Of Imperfect Sight By Treatment Without Glasses, Ruiz Arnau’s book El Uso Natural De La Vision and Emily Lierman’s book Stories From The Clinic. These are in original antique print.  The Copyright office 
https://www.copyright.gov/  is different from the library of Congress. Search both; https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/holdingsInfo?searchId=6088&recCount=25&recPointer=2&bibId=8731874

A lot of school teachers, doctors and the military applied the method with success. I like teachers that describe the benefits of sunlight, color treatment, left and right brain hemisphere activation and integration, memory, imagination, relaxation, EFT, acupressure, massage, movement and other practices. I am studying more of the brain’s function with the eyes to discover which areas of the brain, its actions, emotions and nerves, body muscles when tense can cause a specific eye muscle to be tight resulting in strabismus. There’s other causes of strabismus. Left, right hemisphere, certain brain areas’ balance, coordination, development is also a cause of crossed, wandering eyes and less clear vision in one eye, a distance.

Warning; Choose a Natural Eyesight (Vision) Improvement Teacher, Books, Forum-Group Carefully!
Investigate, Seek Truly Natural Original & Modern Bates Method Practices

Natural Eyesight Improvement has been in existence before Dr. Bates discovered it. Eye doctors and the public have used it in the 1800's and earlier. Sailors have used it for hundreds of years to navigate the sea by looking at the stars, moon, sun, planets in the sky, flow of ocean water, seeking other ships, landmarks, birds, fish migration, wind... and lighthouses. Hunters use it in ancient and modern times. It’s also used when looking at close distances to create tools, shelter, inspect, sort food, draw and write to preserve heritage, education... Natural Eyesight Improvement is the normal function of the eyes and vision and brain, body function with the eyes, vision, ‘the entire visual system’. It has been in existence since the creation of life, fish, animals, humans on this planet, the evolution-development of the eye and its function with light and dark, response to sunlight. The eye needs sunlight. Light, survival and movement created the eyes. I suspect Mother Natural threw in beauty, happiness and love. Sunlight maintains the eyes health and function. Trees, plants, microscopic life have a visual instinct, function. They react to light, are drawn to it and grow healthy due to sunlight. 

Practice only the Bates Method. It is the true natural eyesight practice. The Bates Method teaches; relaxation of the mind, body, eye muscles, eyes, neck, shoulders and correct posture, movement, ‘correct relaxed, natural vision habits ‘ (imitating, inducing the normal function of the eyes, visual system; shifting, central-fixation 'centralizing', memory, imagination, the opposite swing, blinking...), tests for and perfects accommodation, convergence, un-accommodation, divergence, normal eye movement, body movement, left and right brain hemisphere activation and integration, color treatment, full spectrum sunlight (sunning), breathing and other natural activities. This produces 20/20 and clearer eyesight at all distances, close and far, day and night. The Bates method returns the eyes, vision, eye muscles, brain, body 'entire visual system' to normal function, maintaining clear eyesight automatically, on its own.  After some practice, you don’t need to consciously practice.

      The Bates Method does not consist of repetitive, forceful eye exercises, eye stretches... 
The Bates Method relaxes and aligns the left and right eyes and eye muscles’ movement, perfects their function. Switching, shifting on close and far objects (looking close and far) is 'kind of an exercise', but; it is done in a relaxed way, integrating Dr. Bates natural practices. It is very effective. See Switching and Shifting in the books and on the website.
      Many eyesight improvement teachers claim to teach the Bates Method but they do not. They teach tension, effort inducing eye exercises and other unnatural treatments that cause mental strain, eyestrain
, eye muscle tension, headaches, neck tension, unclear vision and other side effects. Forceful eye exercises are not natural and do not produce perfect and permanent clear eyesight. Eye or eye muscle injury can occur. Avoid teachers that refuse to give free help for advanced eye, vision conditions, blindness. A honest teacher will help you free of charge, has years of experience, written one or more books and provides their book and Dr. Bates Better Eyesight Magazines, books (complete training) for a honest, affordable price or free. Clear eyesight, healthy eyes is the birthright of ALL people. Dr. Bates always helped the blind, people needing eyesight improvement. He charged a low price and often trained free in his New York City Clinic, Offices.

I notice many teachers books teach tracing on objects (with or without the nosefeather) incorrectly; they have the person looking into space near but not on the object. This is diffusion, the opposite of central-fixation. Their pictures should show the nosefeather and ‘central field’ tracing line  - - - - -  directly ON the edge of the object you are tracing on. (or if looking at a part; on the edge of the part of the object.) Not off to the side into space. Example; looking at, tracing on the edge of the roof of a house. Trace on the edge. Do NOT trace on the sky away from the edge. Even when you use the big fluffy feather with no point on the end; the eyes’ central field still moves on the edge of the object. ‘Central-Fixation with Shifting’. See the Nosefeather Chapter in the book and on the website; https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id56.html
  

Many Teachers Teach Things That are Unnatural, Wrong, Unsafe,
are Not the True Original Bates Method;

Avoid teachers, websites, forums that teach, sell and/or refer to eye doctors that sell these harmful, unnatural methods; Lasik and other Cornea Eye Surgeries, use of Contact Lenses or Contact Lens Treatments to try to force the cornea/eye to change shape (Ortho-keratology, Ortho-k, Orthoculogy-Ortho C...  This can injure, warp the cornea.), Eyeglasses, the harmful, unhealthy Plus Lens method. Also called Anti-Corrective-Stress Relieving Eyeglass method (It CAUSES stress, cataract, detached retina, astigmatism, eye muscle tension-dysfunction, eye and vision impairment... It consists of wearing stronger and stronger addictive plus or minus eyeglasses.), Bifocals, Progressive, no-line Bifocals, Trifocals.., Multi-Section and Mono-Vision Glasses, Sunglasses, Tinted/Colored Eyeglass Lenses, Autostereograms (Artificial 3-D Fusion Exercises, 3-Cups, Magic Eyes pictures... They can impair the eye muscles and eyes movement. Read more below.), Eye Muscle Surgery and Prisms for Crossed/Wandering Eyes (Strabismus), Eye-Eye Muscle Stretching (forcing the eyes to look, stay far left, right, up, down... and keeping the head in the opposite direction), Chiropractic and other unnatural methods.

Try to avoid implanted eyeglass myopia, farsight, presbyopia, astigmatism, bifocal... prescriptions in cataract surgery artificial lens replacement inside the eyes; it traps you with an eyeglass prescription that cannot be changed-removed without more surgery.  More surgery has risks. A prescription in the eye is also addictive, increases vision impairment.
     Read our entire Warnings, Directions PDF;
https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id110.html and in our book copyright.
Cornea laser surgery is similar; the lasik and other cornea surgeries place a prescription in the cornea. More cornea surgery to change it can result in cornea injury,
blindness.

     All these unnatural treatments, exercises, surgeries are not the Bates Method. They cause cornea injury, strabismus, impair eye muscle, eye function and movement, impair the clarity of vision, cause astigmatism, conical cornea, cataracts, glaucoma, detached retina, other eye-vision problems, impaired eye health and can result in blindness. They disrupt the brains function with the eyes-vision. I do not endorse, advise use of lasik, Artificial 3-D eye exercises, Plus Lens method, Contact Lenses, any unnatural method.

I disagree with the use of pinhole glasses and do not like teachers that sell them without warning of the side effects, without teaching healthy alternatives. Reason is posted on the website with video and PDF; https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id114.html  They block many natural eye-vision functions, can impair the vision, eyes health. The smaller the holes are in the glasses, the more they impair the visual system’s function. The black areas constantly move over-block the eyes fovea-macula; the exact central field, the main area of the retina that produces clear eyesight. 
     I don't like teachers that sell colored eyewear ‘color treatment glasses’.  This imbalances the sun's natural healthy full light spectrum. It turns healthy sunlight into partial unhealthy light that imbalances the visual system, brain and body’s function, chemical, hormone production. Sunglasses, colored, tinted and even plain glass, plastic block full spectrum sunlight. It impairs the eye, cornea, iris-pupil, lens and retina’s function and health. True color therapy and colored light therapy does not involve wearing colored glasses. I prefer the original natural colored light treatment (without colored glasses) taught by Thomas Quackenbush and other natural teachers and plain good old sunlight which contains all colors.
    
See the real method here;
https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id59.html  and here; https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id37.html and in the paperback or e-book Do it Yourself - Natural Eyesight Improvement in the Sunlight and Color, Colored Light Treatment chapters; https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id148.html

The website, books list all the unnatural methods, eyeglasses to avoid. Choose a Bates Method Behavioral Optometrist, Ophthalmologist only, if an eye doctor is needed. AVOID LASER... CORNEA SURGERY! No cornea surgery, no contact lenses, no plus lens method...  Don’t let them sway, sweet talk you. Some vision improvement teachers receive money 'kickbacks' from Optometrists, Ophthalmologists, Opticians, Chiropractors and other businesses by referring students to them through links on their website or in private chats, messages, in person. Avoid teachers that endorse contacting their 'affiliate' Behavioral Optometrists or other eye doctors, teachers that sell, teach the harmful practices listed here as 'to avoid'. Some eye doctors are ok, they teach the true Bates Method, but some are not natural, they prefer to sell eyeglasses, lasik and other eye surgery, contact lenses, the plus lens method, other unnatural practices. They want you to develop cataract so they can sell that expensive surgery.  Know the side effects, risks of chiropractic. See the Chiropractic Warning page; https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id26.html and https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id150.htm

I do not allow people I am training to use contact lenses. They cause cornea, eye injury. Contact lenses are never a perfect fit for the cornea because the eye, cornea naturally change shape, often. This occurs more frequently as the eyes, cornea return to normal healthy shape with practice of Natural Eyesight Improvement. The contacts will not fit; they can easily scrape, injure, infect and scar the cornea. Contact lens cleaning solutions, eye drops get contaminated with bacteria, parasites. People have gone blind, lost their entire eye. Some teachers allow use of contact lenses, strong eyeglasses and other destructive methods because they want endorsement from eye doctors to help sell their training and books.  

True Bates Method teachers, schools teach that only reduced weaker and weaker eyeglass lenses, usually 20/40 clarity (no contacts) are used and only temporarily, only if needed for driving, safety at work... as the vision is improving with practice of the Bates Method. Example; a person with -3.00 eyeglasses for myopia might try reducing to -2.50 or -2.00.
The eyechart will show 20/40 clarity with glasses on. Avoid glasses as much as possible. Keep practicing the Bates Method. Then continue to reduce until seeing clear without glasses. A person with +3.00 eyeglasses for presbyopia, farsight might reduce to +2.50 or +2.00 and continue to reduce. If the eyeglasses have uneven lens strength for the left, right eyes; try to get the strength even. See directions on the eyeglasses page;
https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id36.html and here;
 

                                                                         If the eyeglasses have uneven prescription strength in the left and right eyeglass lenses;

It’s best to change the lenses to equal strength; Don’t use the stronger lens from the less clear vision eye’s eyeglass lens because it will impair-lower the vision in the best-clearest vision eye. Use the weakest eyeglass lens from the best clearest vision eye and place it in both left and right eyeglass lens’ frame. Then; reduce (weaken) both the left and right lenses strength equally. Ask your eye doctor for the number; maybe reduce 0.50 or 1.00 diopter. + or - depending on the prescription. Some people reduce more;  2.00.  The clearest vision eye will see 20/40 clarity through its reduced eyeglass lens. (20 feet, #40 eyechart line.) The less clear vision eye will have the same strength eyeglass lens but it must catch up (improve its vision) to see 20/40 through its lens, see equally clear as the clearest vision eye.  Note that the clearest vision eye will also be improving;  so do some extra Bates Method practice with the less clear eye (without glasses). The goal is to get the clarity of vision improved and equal in the left and right eyes when not wearing glasses. When glasses are worn; the left and right eyeglass lenses are equal strength and the eyes see at an equal level through the reduced eyeglass lenses.
     If the lenses are too weak or too strong; vision through the eyeglasses will be too blurry and cause strain, effort to see, headache. Find a balance where the glasses are weaker, not 20/20 clear but just right to see comfortable with no strain.
     Uneven vision and uneven eyeglass lenses cause imbalance, tension in the visual system, brain, eyes, retinas, eye muscles and slows vision improvement. Correcting this and removing bifocal, multi-section, astigmatism, prism, UV blocking, tinting, coating... from the eyeglass lenses enables easy, faster vision improvement, helps to reverse addiction to glasses and is not as harmful to the eye’s health as glasses with multiple and strong prescriptions. No eyeglasses is the healthiest option.  Glasses, level of clarity with and without glasses must be legal, safe for driving, work...
     If you cannot get the left and right eyeglass lens strength equal; it’s still important to reduce the strength of each lens.
Getting the lenses equal and reduced is the best option, but some people have a large difference in the left, right eyes clarity so equalizing the eyeglass lenses may feel uncomfortable, at first, so they reduce only. An option is to buy 2 pair of glasses; the equal and reduced and reduced only. Then; wean your way into the equal and reduced as the vision improves.
     When buying; reduce the equal and reduced strength glasses a bit more to fit improvement in the vision. All glasses need more reduction as the sight improves and the lenses become too strong. Before glasses give 20/20; its time to reduce.

No bifocal! If you need to reduce for far and close vision; buy two pair of glasses; one reduced for far. One reduced for close. Wear them around your neck on a string. One higher to prevent scratching. Use glasses as little as possible.

The P.D., centering and height of the left and right eyeglass lenses, exact fit of the frames, handles... must be placed in the prescription.  Here’s an optician that teaches about the P.D., height and other eyeglass settings that some online opticians don’t tell you;

Most people can do without glasses when the vision is clear at 20/70 to 20/50. Some at 20/100 or more unclear prefer to go without glasses. No glasses = eyesight improves faster. (Always stay legal, safe for driving, work, hobbies...) Eyeglasses are discontinued permanently as soon as possible. It is best to try and stop use of eyeglasses immediately. If the prescription is strong, the eyes contain cataract, detached retina, retina, optic nerve problem, glaucoma, potential for these or any eye health condition; STOP WEARING EYEGLASSES! Eyeglasses cause and increase cataract, detached retina, torn, leaking blood vessels, capillaries in the eye, retina and most all eye health problems. (Strong prescriptions will advance these conditions.) Eyeglasses can interfere with healing of an eye injury.  Contact lenses also cause all of these problems.
     A man who wore strong glasses for many years started to see flashing blue lights. He told his eye doctor. The eye doctor then increased the eyeglass prescription, prescribed the strongest glasses the man ever wore. He then saw more blue lights, had a bout of temporary blindness. Doctor told him to keep wearing the glasses. Then more blue lights, then blindness. A blood vessel burst in his retina, glaucoma came back and black cataract in both eyes.
     In the past this man stopped wearing eyeglasses for a couple years and used the Bates Method. He cured cataract in both eyes and 80% of his glaucoma and myopia. Then he had a lot of stress in his life, lost his home and family. His vision blurred a bit from the stress. Stress can lower the vision. If glasses are avoided, relaxation obtained; the vision returns to clear. Unfortunately he followed his eye doctor’s advice and went back to glasses. This is when the trouble started, strong glasses prescribed which lead to blindness. Eye surgery was performed on the broken retina blood vessel. He is now staying away from glasses forever and works to restore his sight naturally. He refuses surgery for the cataracts because many of his eye problems occurred years ago due to eye surgery so he’s reluctant to trust doctors, hard to find a good one.       

Some teachers, businesses that sell books, courses on Natural vision Improvement sell vitamins, nutrients for the eyes. The health of the liver, kidneys, gall bladder, spleen, digestion... affect vision, the eyes health. There are healthy effective remedies that improve function of the body organs, circulation... Choose carefully. Some herbs, vitamins, minerals... can be toxic, impair body chemistry, hormones, health and vision. Some teachers sell herbs, ingredients in their eye vitamins, formulas that have side effects, impair the eyes health and clarity of vision. They do not warn about this.
     Healthy food, good nutrition has a positive effect on the clarity of vision, health of the body and eyes. Most vitamins, nutrients... are beneficial but they are best acquired from fresh food. If taken in pill form; it must be created from food, not artificially from chemicals... No additives. Read the Nutrition Chapter;
cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id21.html and avoid products containing bilberry leaf, eyebright, sulfite's, sulfate, nitrites, nitrate and other unhealthy ingredients, certain herbs, preservatives, chemicals. Natural sulfur from cabbage... is healthy. Chemical versions are not. Sulfite's, sulfate, nitrites, MSG, hydrolyzed... protein, corn, soy, yeast.., aspirin, aspirin type herbs, other herbs can cause temporary migraine headaches with flashing lights, blind spots in the visual field, impaired memory, a variety of health problems. Read the labels, check all the ingredients. MSG is also called flavor enhancer. MSG and other chemicals are labeled under many different names that the govt. has legalized so the food industry, restaurants can hide ingredients. Aspirin causes kidney, stomach damage, headache, other health impairment. It's addictive. Acetaminophen, NSAID's cause kidney, liver, joint damage, heart attacks, impairs eye health, vision and is the cause of many health problems. Avoid calcium in pill form.  It causes deposits in the body, kidneys... Drug store (and also many phony natural) eye drops contain chemicals, toxins. Diet, injuries, drugs, chemicals, sinus sprays (sinus sprays, chemicals cause glaucoma, cataract, lower central and peripheral vision, color perception), eye drops, some eye medicine, sinus infection or congestion, mold allergy, lead, tooth cavities are other causes of eye-vision problems.   Bilberry berries are healthy. When buying bilberry, ask for pure organic bilberry fruit, the berries only, no leaf. (Bilberry leaf CAN be toxic.) The berries are excellent. Pure bilberries improve eye health and day, night vision. It’s an old World War Two pilots food for clear night vision when flying. They ate it as bilberry jam. Best without adding processed sugar. True bilberry contains a lot of dark red/purple juice inside the berry and the skin. It temporarily stains the skin when the berry is compressed in the fingers, as a blackberry or wild blueberry does. This juice and entire berry is healthy for the eyes, retina, its cells, cones-rods light receptors. Lutein and other nutrients, carrots, spinach, lemon-orange peels, cornsilk, certain types of chrysanthemum... are also beneficial.  

Many Natural Vision Improvement websites have discussion forums, groups, guestbooks, blogs where people can post subjects on the Bates method-Natural Vision Improvement, ask questions and learn from others that have improved their vision. When you connect with the right people it is a very positive experience. Life evolves through the exchange of ideas, sharing experience, cooperation and new creations.  Beware of some Natural Vision Teachers that 'hang out' on groups, forums giving limited help; they often are trying to lure people into taking private lessons for $50.00 to $200.00+ per hour, $300.00 - $5000.00 and up seminars. Sellers also post for them. Most of the people on these forums are honest, very helpful, but there are a few that go on the forums giving the impression that they are strict Bates Method people but in reality they are providing links to websites, eye doctors that sell unnatural use of eyeglasses ‘plus lens method’.., lasik and other cornea surgery, contact lenses, artificial 3-D, pinhole glasses and other harmful products, treatments. Some people state incorrect, harmful advice and/or hide true Bates Method training. They try to make it seem difficult, complicated, state that only a highly intelligent personality can understand it and be successful. This is false. The Bates Method is easy, simple, a 'Do It Yourself' practice. Children learn it, are cured and become effective teachers. Many people obtain clear eyesight by only removing their glasses, learning to relax and shift, know what central-fixation is. A quick 10-30 minute lesson. 

Be careful downloading free software from websites and typing, clicking on a forum chat, e-mail forum post or private message notifications. I was hacked many times on a forum chat and other ways by competing teachers, authors from Iowa, Kiev-Ukraine, Russia, Italy and their partners in other countries.  Some websites, software contain spyware, hacker viruses. A popular Better Eyesight Magazine website gives free software for the computer screen, eyesight but it acts as a virus, slows the computer.., produces pop-ups asking for money. Some teachers link to it on their websites and advertise it in their books. It's hard to remove, hides in the computer. You can use Norton tools; Power Eraser (careful; hackers sneak in and corrupt it), other virus, spyware... removal or find a good repair/detective guy to remove it. The magazines on that website have many spelling mistakes and missing issues. For years I have offered the owner help to fix the magazines but he does not reply. Site has some kind of tracker, cookie that locks into your computer. He may have just moved on, does not care to work on the magazines but I find that a very strange thing to do. I suspect there is a new 'secret owner or co-owner', they prefer the magazines to stay incomplete, mis-spelled so they can sell high priced paperback, PDF complete copies. This type of people hacked me 7 times trying to shut down our free magazines, bookstores on Amazon... and link to that and two other duplicate websites in the U.S., Kiev, Russia... They use Dr. Bates name, picture... to sell unhealthy adult content, drugs... They want to stop honest teachers from providing Dr. Bates books, magazines for free and low price.  They sell for a very high price. There are bad people in the world. The good must stand up and protect Dr. Bates work!

For Natural Eyesight Improvement Bates Method forums, groups, discussion websites and book reviews, comments at bookstores; Note that some group... owners and members posting have become corrupt and are selling advertisements. Avoid their ads for lasik and other eye surgery, unnatural vision courses, eyeglasses, contact lenses, eyedrops, some vitamins, herbs...  It’s so sad that Dr. Bates name and work are being used in this way. Speak up against this corruption! 

Read more information on the different types of teachers, authors, books - the good and the bad, what’s best, all the unnatural methods, eyeglasses to avoid; See the 2 Warnings, Directions... PDF’s on top of this page; https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id110.html  and here;  https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id36.html  Study these so you can detect a false teacher. My videos on YouTube show how all eyeglasses; plus and minus lens, astigmatism lens, contacts, prisms harm the eyes, eyesight. Watch for new videos in 2015 showing more natural cures for myopia, farsight, presbyopia.

For the antique books I preserve, publish and sell on the website, Amazon...; about 3% of the training in some doctors, teacher's antique books have modern practices included to update or add to some of their original methods. New practices, clarifications are in blue. I never remove the antique pages, pictures, training. Modern practices and pictures are added while maintaining the original work.  Other teacher’s books I like and list have 100-97% perfect training, but a few contain 3% unnatural practice. It’s worth it to read, learn from their books. Things to avoid such as artificial 3-D, pinhole and colored glasses... are posted here and on the website.  

People have been stealing my website, books’ content and using that and Dr. Bates books to create their books with unnatural methods, use of eyeglasses... added. I do not endorse, do not allow this. In Sept., 2014 Amazon took control of my Amazon Author’s page; https://www.amazon.com/Clark-Night/e/B004HU1MNS/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1 that I created for Dr. Bates and his books. It’s a public domain law Amazon must follow. Other authors might now be posting their books on that page under Dr. Bates name and any Amazon page that contains Dr. Bates books. This means that books with unnatural content added might get mixed in with Dr. Bates true, natural method books I have assembled. I cannot stop this.  Amazon allows me total free speech, videos, pictures, twitter, blog... on my Clark Night page. Read directions for selecting Dr. Bates true books without unnatural methods added; https://www.amazon.com/Clark-Night/e/B004HU1MNS/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1   Amazon might create a publishers page with only the publisher’s books allowed.
     The best option is to find our books by the titles, authors and covers on the website;
https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/  I’m building a new Dr. William H. Bates Author’s Page for our books on the website and linking to Amazon. Be careful; other author’s books might sneak onto the Amazon page. Will invite true natural teachers and antique dealers to also post their and Dr. Bates authentic books on the website.

I removed the names of the dishonest and high priced teachers, the ones described in this book, website that teach harmful methods. I did this to avoid harassment, frivolous lawsuits and to be kind to the teachers that do teach beneficial practices, but unfortunately also teach unnatural practices. I will give their names to people that contact me by phone or e-mail so you can avoid them, prevent harm to your eyes, vision and also check out the good practices that some teachers provide. You have these pages and our Warnings, Directions PDFs listed in this book, website to protect you; so you know what to watch for; what is healthy, beneficial, safe to practice and what must be avoided.
      Some teachers, authors tried to do a hostile takeover of my business, website, book rights after I refused to sell it to them. I have lawyers on retainer. The Bates Method works! That’s why so many people are fighting over who can sell it and most eye doctors, surgeons hide it.
              Stay with the true original Bates Method for clear eyesight and healthy eyes.
       

Mini 3-D Warning Example; Staring at the Pen Placed in Front of the 2 Red, Blue Circles to Create a Illusion of a 3rd Circle. This strains the eyes, brain, eye muscles          Warnings, Descriptions For Artificial 3-D Fusion Autostereograms, Magic Eyes Pictures;

I do not teach, advise Artificial 3-D Fusion Eye Exercises, Also labeled as; ‘Autostereograms, Magic Eyes Pictures, Merging Objects, 3-Cup Images...'  It can cause strabismus, crossed, wandering eyes, impair the eyes convergence, divergence, accommodation, un-accommodation, the eye muscles and eyes movement, cause eye muscle tension, double vision, astigmatism and blur in normal eyes and more so if there is a slight or advanced strabismus or other eye, medical problem, imbalance of the brain hemispheres or other brain functions, neck injury-tension, mis-aligned skull bones, other conditions. The Artificial 3-D can make a slight strabismus condition worse. It causes strain, tension, stress and confusion in the brain, eyes, retina and eye muscles.  It is not the Bates Method.
     Artificial 3-D Fusion exercises are not necessary to obtain clear vision, normal eye movement. It was not taught by Ophthalmologist Bates.
The Bates Method alone can cure strabismus; there are plenty of other activities, methods with true fusion, 3-D to obtain clear, balanced vision, coordinated eye movement in Dr. Bates book, magazine. Dr. Bates and modern Bates Method Natural Eyesight (Vision) Improvement teachers teach different activities, natural ones with true 3-D (Three-Dimensional vision, depth, distance... perception) for correcting crossed, wandering eyes ‘strabismus’ and amblyopia, unclear vision.
     The picture on the right shows an artificial 3-D example; looking at the pen placed in the central field, between and before the 2 red-blue circles which are in the peripheral field, to create an illusion of a 3rd circle between them. (Many teachers make this even more abnormal by not using the pen; the eyes just stare into space. The pen brings at least some normal effect.) Thinking red makes the circle turn red. Thinking blue makes it turn blue. This strains, confuses the brain, eyes, retina and eye muscles. See the Artificial 3-D warning at;
https://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id103.html  and in our books.  Dr. Bates has extra ‘similar but different’ practices that correct strabismus naturally. Search treatments for squint, crossed eyes, double vision... in his book Perfect Sight Without Glasses and Better Eyesight Magazine
     Look for the practice using a candle flame and the girl that learned to turn the eyes in any direction and avoid tension.

Some Behavioral Optometrists, Ophthalmologists teach forms of Artificial 3-D Fusion as activities, tests a special way for each individual person's strabismus condition and obtain good results. It should be used for strabismus (crossed, wandering eyes) only. Ask a Bates Method Behavioral Optometrist, Ophthalmologist for guidance if you have tried the Bates Method FIRST, worked with a Bates teacher and still need additional help. Follow your doctor's directions. Do not copy it from a book, website created by an unqualified person. The doctor's activity might help correct imperfect convergence, divergence, fusion, strabismus when applied correct. It must be practiced with the guidance of a Bates Method Behavioral Optometrist, Ophthalmologist. The eye doctor will teach the patient which activities are to be done for specific conditions, distances that the patient’s eye movement, convergence, divergence, fusion... needs improvement. The doctor might have the patient practice with the 3-D image card placed at only one, two distances or at a variety of close, middle and far distances, fusing the two images into a 3rd by looking at one or a variety of different close distances/objects before the card and/or one or a variety of different far distances/objects beyond the card. (one distance at a time.) Distance of the card might be varied. Spacing between the two images might be at a variety of widths or limited. Merging, fusing images that are further apart or closer together being accomplished with advanced fusion training if needed. How many are practiced, length of time each or only some of these activities, routines are practiced is determined by the student’s condition; convergence or divergence impairment, eye, eyes in, out, up, down, angled.., degree of impairment and other eye-vision and brain conditions. Other old and new treatments, pictures... might be applied.
     This is NOT a one size fits all, just carelessly thrown in a book, webpage for every person’s treatment!  Only a professional can prescribe a safe, correct, precise routine for each individual. Practicing too much or too little at a specific distance, at the wrong distance, on pictures spaced a specific width that’s not needed, the wrong activity… can impair convergence, divergence and cause other eye, vision problems, astigmatism, cause and increase amblyopia.
     Some teachers place the Artificial 3-D in their books, school to attract attention, seem professional. They teach it wrong. They should warn about the side effects. It effects how the brain works with the eyes, retina, eye muscles. It is not to be toyed with. Do not interfere with a child or adult’s natural brain, eye development, function. It must be applied by a professional experienced in the function of the eyes, the brain, brain hemispheres, visual cortex, nerves, eye muscles and other functions. Accommodation, un-accommodation of the eyes and lens work-occur with the eyes convergence, divergence, fusion. All are affected, improved or impaired when the activities, tests are done correct or incorrect.
       Most vision teachers do not teach this the correct way, do not warn about the side effects of doing it wrong because they cannot prescribe for every individual person's condition in the class, in books and usually do not know the entire, correct Behavioral Optometry treatment. Even a Behavioral Optometrist, Ophthalmologist needs the best training and experience, know exactly what part of the brain needs work. They also need to learn the Bates Method of Natural Eyesight Improvement so they can give their patient an option; true natural (Bates Method) treatment, or if needed, the artificial 3-D and be sure it's done correct, and apply both methods; the Bates Method and the professional Artificial 3-D.  The artificial 3-D is a temporary treatment. The Bates Method is a permanent practice, an art, natural correct vision function.

The Artificial 3-D activities do produce a natural 3-D effect created by the eyes, retina, brain, left and right brain hemispheres, visual cortex. Seeing the correct fused image indicates the brain, eyes and eye muscles are working together, eyes are balanced-aligned. But; I call the activities Artificial 3-D because it is not the normal way a person uses the eyes-vision to see an object clear. The Artificial 3-D has the person staring into space between, and before or beyond 2 objects placed in the left and right peripheral field, merging these two into a 3rd object which shows an illusion of it being in the central field. In reality it is 2 areas/objects of the peripheral field combined and still in the peripheral. The person is using the peripheral vision to see with. Diffusion occurs. This prevents Dr. Bates #1 natural practice of central-fixation (true central vision). Shifting, natural eye movement is also prevented, impaired. Artificial 3-D causes strain, tension, confusion in the brain, eyes, dizziness and other side effects. Impairing the eyes natural movement leads to unclear eyesight.
     True completely natural 3-D vision for healthy eyes, correct eye-brain function, clear vision occurs when;
looking directly at the object you want to see, directly at the distance the object is at, in the true central field with the mind, eyes 'mental-visual attention' on/at that object, distance. And; the central field, (the retina’s fovea) ‘visual-mental attention’ are moving 'shifting' part to part upon the objectTrue natural fusion
produces a completely natural 3-D vision created by the eyes, retina, brain, left and right hemispheres, visual cortex. You can determine true depth, distance of objects, time, speed to travel to, from one object to another... You see the object’s texture, shape, all parts large to tiny, light, shadows.
   
Try the Bates Method first;  relaxation, central-fixation (centralizing), shifting, switching (looking close and far), bead string, pens in a row (natural healthy fusion with true 3-D), phoria swings, memory and imagination, natural movement, long swing, left and right brain hemisphere activation and integration, color treatment and other natural methods are usually all that are needed. See the Switching, Bead String and other chapters in the books to test and correct the vision.
