How can I improve my eyesight? Can I stop my sight deteriorating? Will I always have to wear glasses? how can I relieve eyestrain? This book offers a clear explanation of the work and methods practised by Dr William H. Bates to help improve vision and eyesight by natural means. The Bates Method is a non-invasive and natural way of enhancing perception, using simple techniques to relieve strain and improve eye/brain co-ordination. Peter Mansfield, a practising Bates Method and Alexander Technique teacher, draws on a wide range of therapeutic and educational experience in his introduction to this holistic approach to good sight. He outlines the development and philosophy of the Bates Method, tells how to find a Bates teacher and what to expect from learning the method. His descriptions of the techniques used and their applications to various conditions are illustrated with case histories.
