Dr. W. H. Bates started his career as an orthodox ophthalmologist following the old rules of the practice; prescribing eyeglasses... During his life, working with different patients, eye conditions; he realized that unclear close, distant vision, astigmatism, other conditions often cured itself, reversed back to clear vision when his patients stopped wearing eyeglasses and relaxed. He noticed that wearing glasses 'tensed' the eyes, eye muscles, lowered the vision and resulted in stronger and stronger eyeglass prescriptions. He began his own studies on the eye and its function. This led him to discover that many of the old ophthalmology, optometry 'supposed facts' about the eye, lens and its function and cause of unclear vision... are incorrect. Dr. Bates began teaching his patients to stop wearing their glasses. He taught them natural methods, including relaxation, correct use of the eyes/vision (shifting...) to produce clear vision.
About the Author: Dr. Bates discovered the true function of the eyes and vision. The Origin of Natural Eyesight Improvement. He proved (with his experiments on the eyes, eye muscles, nerves and natural treatments) that tension, strain in the mind, outer and inner eye muscles, incorrect use of the eyes/vision (lack of relaxation, no shifting/central fixation...) is the main cause of unclear vision and other eye problems. He proved that relaxation of the mind, eye muscles, eyes, body, practicing correct eye/vision function produce a normal, healthy eye shape with correct focus of light rays in the eyes, clear vision and cures many eye problems. He proved that eyeglasses, unnecessary eye, eye muscle surgery cause and increase vision impairment, other eye problems, eye disease. Dr. Bates devoted his life to curing vision and eye conditions without eyeglasses, surgery, drugs. Doctors selling eyeglasses, contacts, sunglasses, eye surgery, drugs were losing money due to Dr. Bates teaching his patients how to cure unclear vision, eye problems with Natural methods. Cured patients taught their friends, family how to obtain clear vision, healthy eyes. Children, cured of unclear vision, crossed, wandering eyes... successfully treated their friends, parents, teachers' vision. A head surgeon expelled Dr. Bates from the college/hospital he worked at. They considered him competition. They tried to destroy his work, reputation. The eye doctors, surgeons have suppressed the Bates Method, hidden the truth about Natural Eyesight Improvement for over 100 years. After Ophthalmologist Bates' death; Dr. Bates books, Medical Articles, Better Eyesight Magazines were taken out of libraries, bookstores, colleges and destroyed. Politicians, judges were bribed to pass laws preventing Bates Method Teachers from teaching the public how to cure their vision naturally. A law was passed in New York City, U.S.A. and other areas stating "Only an Optometrist, Ophthalmologist may teach Dr. Bates' method." Then, the doctors refused to teach it. If honest doctors tried to teach it, they were threatened with loss of their medical license. If a patient asks about the Bates Method, the eye doctors ignore it, lie; tell their patients it will not cure their vision. Patients are prescribed (sold) stronger and stronger, addictive eyeglass lenses, unnecessary, harmful astigmatism lenses, eye surgery and drugs. Advanced eye problems and blindness occur. This dishonest treatment continues to this day.
