Thanks for sharing this. I used to work at an optometry clinic and I always wondered about the Bates method… I asked one of the eye doctors about it and she said she had never heard of it.
It seems to make sense. Too much computer use can lead to near-sightedness because the eye muscles relax when looking at the screen. After a while, the muscles of the eye are set to that focal point, making anything beyond that seem blurry.
Docs don’t talk about it, cuz they’ll lose money.
Greg, thanks for the video and for giving hope. I’ve been implementing Bates for 5 months and have gone from -8 OD -7 OS to -5 OD -4 OS on avg. I feel more relaxed overall — not just in my eyes. I’m curious what prescription your strongest pair were vs. what you use now for, e.g. night-driving. I’ve hit a plateau and wonder how much progress others starting w/ vision as bad as mine have managed. Could all those yrs of strain have caused irreversible damage prevntng furthr imprvmnt? Thnks!
Im excited at the prospects of seeing better naturally. I decided today to take out my contact lenses and go through my day, doing some of the exercises mentioned. But for tasks and times that require clear vision, what am I to do? Will wearing my contacts or glasses slow down my progress in improving my vision? At the beginning, before clarity is achieved, isnt it difficult to go without glasses or lenses?
Hello Greg. I have about -5.50 and -5.75 vision and have been wearing glasses for 11 years. I just bought the aviator pin-hole glasses from Amazon and tried them at the computer. I see a LOT clearer, not blurry AT ALL. But there’s another problem. I have double vision when I wear them. Ex: if I look at a picture of a face I see 4 eyes instead of 2, or 2 noses instead of 1. Same with the letters. It’s very frustrating. My Q: is this normal? Is it because I have such bad vision?
nobody said to take off glasses while driving. even Greg Marsh said in one of his CD’s that if you drive, to wear your glasses for safety, but when you’re at home and have time, to relax your eyes. If you’re a Doctor, you should know the anatomy of the eye’s, and how they work.
This really works today i had blurry,blurry, and mor blurry but now my eyes feel better
So what do you have to do to improve your eyesight?
I succeeded in getting 20/20 and better! My goal this week is to see 20/10 THANK YOU!
it feels a little better all redye, and I have only done it twice!
I really hope this works, I am starting to have trouble focusing on chalk boards in school.
Hi Debulk, I thought I’d try to help a little and maybe balance out the woo. I am a Dr of Optometry. The Bates method does not work, period. Sorry. The guy died in 1931, and was a quack, you will actually save money by just getting a pair of glasses and wearing them. its really that simple. To all these people ” going without their glasses” if you are -1.25 or greater, you are risking people lives when driving. if you crash, your insurance company WILL NOT PAY. wear your glasses when you drive!
naturalsight my sight seems fine i can read fine but when i look at letters and stuff on screens like tv screens computer screens the letters seem to fade like i can see the letter but its like i see a second one over it and under it please tell me any advice you may have i really dont want to get glasses ive had 20/20 vision until only a few months ago
very good video i realy want to try your cd but i can’t order any thing i am to young
Hey thanks naturalsight.
But the idea of sunning….
When the Sun ain’t out, can you use light from a lamp, or light bulb?
Because I feel a LOT more relaxed when sunning with the Sun. The warmth helps me relax so much.
I read somewhere online, that you can use do sunning, other than light from the Sun, but I don’ t think it’s as helpful.
Can you confirm this please?
Hi Debulk, sorry not to respond earlier. You were asking how long it takes, trying to get some encouraging response from your eyes? I think you were saying that you would see clearer “for a moment” but it didn’t seem to stick. It’s so weird and so simple, but elusive at first… You can do it, and quicker than you think. First, get very excited about the sharper vision even if you have to fake it at first. Second, imagine and then learn how to bring things into focus. Breathe faith into it.
hey naturalsight, I know this is a big ask, but can you answer my posts below please….?
I really want to know if some of the things are true.
Thank You.
Question: I actually wonder if my eyes have not grown in a wrong way with wearing glasses all through childhood? Or do you think, eyessight can still change now, even when you haev been wearing glasses since childhood?
I extremely hate my glasses. I know its not good to have a negative attitude, but when i look into the mirror, i have the feeling “this is not my face”. I want to go thru life with my REAL face – without these horrible glasses!
Thank you for your help!
regards,
Peter
Hi Elberiver11, A tendency of nearsighted people is the deep desire to do everything perfectly. Somehow you want to rediscover effortlessness in your eyesight. Loosen your grip on trying to make the Bates stuff work, and let a new sense of ease (AND IMPERFECTION!) arise somehow. Try doing them differently, for instance in a fashion that “can’t possibly work”, in a way that’s “too easy”. Engage your imagination more. Close your eyes and pretend that things are more sharp. This will shift things!
Hi clarkclydenight/Mary, that’s fantastic! and thanks for your example of how neck tension and eyesight are inseparable. We want to let go of tension in the eyes and neck at the same time.
I am one of your students.
Gained much benefit from the home study CD course.
Thank you for answering my E-mail and teaching me avout Dr. Sardo’s muscle relaxation…methods.
I have been relaxing and not fighting the muscle tension. The neck tension, dizzyness is gone! Also found a better chiropractor and he can adjust me easier now that the muscles are relaxed.

I have tried Bates decades ago, over months, it didnt change anything. Yet i believe that Bates must have been right, because glasses cant “heal” eyes, can they. I actually share Bates’s view , that glasses actually worsen eyesight, rather than improving it (just like crutches won’t improve your legs). But i wonder what i have done wrong. Lasik is no option for me, cause its irreversible. And contacts dont work.
hello naturalsight !!!!!
Just to say that i feel better day by day, in my body and in my eyes!
My eyes are not dry anymore, and i m even able to wear contact lenses !!!!!!!
I’ ve tried them today and no dryness !!!
Difficult to say if i ‘ve got improvement because i’m undercorrected but i continue it !!!!!
Hey I naturalsight I got this theory on the improvement with eyesight.
Even though we try activities to relax our eyes i.e. palming, sunning etc. We can see clearer for a while, or a moment, but then we got back to poor eyesight vision.
If we keep doing it we gradually, slowly get better eyesight and eventually becomes permanent.
So I come down with the theory of ‘you take two steps forward but one back’.
Meaning your eyes slowly take time to relax and get clear eyesight again.
Hey naturalsight (again!!).
I looked at some of your daily basis stuff, I just want to know though that can you see a difference in your eye’s vision within a week or 2?
Because it’s human nature for us to be impatience at times and be lazy.

Today I did some palming but I mainly used a technique called sunning – look at the sun BUT you MUST keep you eyes closed.
I tried to keep them relaxed and I also listened to something in the background.
In terms of experience, I felt something good, but I think that went after.
