Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
More Americans than ever before are attempting to correct their vision without having to wear glasses or contact lenses. By working on Bates method exercises illustrated in this book at home for half an hour a day and applying some simple techniques in everyday life, most people have at least a 75 percent chance of achieving partial or complete sucess in restoring their vision. Almost half a million Americans underwent corrective vision surgery in 1999 (more than double the number who attempted it the year before), and complications that may arise from these procedures are still uncertain, as the science is so new and untested. The Bates method of eyesight improvement is nonsurgical, completely safe, and quite effective. This simple and practical guide to using the Bates method is completely up-to-date and addresses all the common faults of vision-nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and 'old age' sight.

Occasionally, someone who has experience improving their eyesight with the Bates Method writes a book to help clarify things for others. The Bates Method is comprised of many subtleties that just about everyone misses at very first (and some people never get it). Many people who claim to understand it don't, so it's always refreshing to read a book by someone who knows what he's talking about, and this book is no exception.
One unique offering is his explaining how there are two ways for the brain to block the visual process. One is to interfere with the mechanics of vision, by altering the eye shape with the extrinsic muscles, preventing proper blinking and shifting, and encouraging disease that impairs vision. The other way is what Barnes refers to as altering the consistency of the barrier between the subconscious and conscious mind. The very first type of blocking (mechanical) tends to be more easily overcome than the second. The second is purely mental, when there is clear information that has made it through the visual system but it isn't recognized for what it is. So there are times when the eyes are working in an improved manner, but their signals are prevented from passing through the barrier (from the subconscious to conscious mind).
That actually just summarizes one page, and the rest of the book is relatively simple. But if you're new to the Bates Method, read this text slowly, as you are going to miss important principles he slips in if you aren't careful.
