Does the Bates Method work in improving eyesight??
Question: How long would it take to improve your eyesight using this method, and what exactly IS the method ? Are they basically eye exercizes or what? Are there websites to teach it? Details please. And please don't answer if you dont even know.
Thanks;D
Answers: The Bates Method are some relaxation techniques which Bates said improves your eyesight. However, optometry and ophthalmoloy say otherwise. Although, it doesn't do any harm if you try the Bates Method, just don't expose your eyes to the sun... Some people have said it works. My sister's an optometrist and when I asked her if there was any way of improving your eyesight, she got slightly angry because no method has been proved to work. Although, carrots will help your night vision :)

it is not proven to work scientifically however many people claim to have made a lot of success using it... when improvement does occur it is usually because the methods relax the eye and potentially may have gotten rid of a ciliary spasm that was causing in a sense a fake form of nearsightedness or pseudo myopia...
either way I use his stuff just because they really relax your eyes and eyestrain has virtually disappeared for me... they are not excersizes they are RELAXATION techniques, its more of a holistic practice really...
Odds are you wont improve your eye sight and if you do, it wont be overly significant and you will likely still need glasses. Who knows in the end though, thousands of people claim to have been significantly helped by the Bates Method so if you want you can give it at shot, you'll generally feel better and more relaxed, but dont hold your breath for getting rid of your glasses :P
GOOD LUCK!!
