Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
MOST writers on ophthalmology appear to believe that the last word about problems of refraction (the deviation of light waves as they enter the eye) has been spoken, and according to their theories the last word is a very depressing one. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars This method really works!!!, Jul 26 1999
By A Customer
I read this book in 1973. At the time I was 29 yrs. old and was quite near sighted. I even had to wear glasses to drive. After doing the simple exercizes in the book, my sight improved dramatically!! I no longer wear glasses for any reason. People who I told this method to wouldn't try it because they didn't believe it could be that easy, how stupid. Try it, you have nothing to lose but your glasses or contacts!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes simple is the best, Mar 2 2000
By A Customer
As I received information that "old age" vision is not natural and could be corrected I read a few books and Janet Goodrich's book was the best but I never could get into the exercises. Dr. Bate's book, which I assume was written before the 1930s is down to earth and relative simple. I am seeing a difference in just one week. I even finished the book without reading glasses! Some information never gets old.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original, Dec 30 1999
By A Customer
I have only one word to describe it. It works! Although, there might be other books to describe Dr. Bates method, I bought this only because it is the original by Dr. Bates. He should get the royalties for his discovery, shouldn't he?
