Dr. Bates really is a mastermind and his vision improvement techniques are not something that have
just surfaced. In fact, Dr. Bates was an eye-care physician from the year 1860 to 1931. He believed that
glasses were never necessary and harmful. He stated that all eyesight problems were due to the strain of
eyes. As he was an M. D., he published a book along with a magazine, which detailed the approach he
takes at helping individuals improve their vision. As we continue forward with this article, we would
like to take a closer look at Dr. Bates and vision improvement.

Dr. Bates claimed that individuals would be able to improve their eyesight with the techniques he had in mind. These techniques were centered around movement and visualization. He would place a lot of attention on imaging letters and marks that were black. He also stated that exposing the eyes to sun would alleviate the strain.

Aldous Huxley, who was a British writer claimed that he used Dr. Bates theories and his sight has greatly improved. Many question if his vision was truly improved or not. Despite many reports of successful results, the 'Bates" techniques have not been proved to improve eyesight.

Bates stated that corrective lenses, which he referred to as "eye crutches" would not cure vision and was only an impediment. He recommended that anyone using glasses should discard them and begin applying his method. He discussed a number of treatments in writing that he claimed would help individuals with their sight.

For one of his techniques, he suggested the patient closing their eyes for a couple of minutes in order to
bring about relaxation. He stated that you could increase that relaxation by "palming, " which means
covering your eyes with the palms of your hands. Dr. Bates and vision improvement will be considered
for many years to come.
