Blind Luck Methods: The Bates Method
Bates method
Ohhh, Dr. William Bates. His Bateness. Doing medicine, within the Batescave. 19th century style.
If you know me off their online venues, you might understand how much I sometimes struggle, keeping a neutral tone.
Bates method review - I learned that it�s safer to not say anything at all, if you don�t have anything positive to state. That slander and putting the blame doesn�t generally accomplish anything positive. So what direction to go, with all the scores and piles of notes I've, on all the vision improvement methods that don�t work?
I�m going to post a simple one here, and let you be the judge.
The biggest contingent of �eye exercise� form of ebooks, Websites, and premises available all go back towards the 19th century. A time that was renowned for enlightenment in medicine, bringing us things such as children�s cough syrups with heroin, and ice picks to the brain to help with anxiety.
In fact, very little continues to be in practice today, that Western medicine came up with within the Nineteenth century.
Understanding that also need to be true for William Bates, and his Bates method.
I�ve make a theory of why that whole premise persists, though it doesn�t work (also it truly does not). It�s the complete concept of �exercises�. Giving people something to accomplish, which makes it seem complex and inspired and filled with instructions. �Palm your face�. �Gaze to the sun�. All of such things, ranging from pointless to dangerous, get remixed into modern age fantasies, and pressure ebook sales.
First thing one must understand, is how myopia actually happens (currently within the program, sooner or later hopefully expanded on elsewhere here on the webpage).
Myopia is a progressive focusing muscle strain, eventually causing axial elongation from the eyeball.
There�s no question about this. One with the tools in a serious ophthalmologist office actually serves to measure the quality of axial elongation with the eyeball. Can you shorten your eyeball by palming that person?
Most likely not. Maybe if you utilize the double facepalm?
The issue with Bates way is, that individuals find some variation of that theme, when looking for natural vision improvement online.
They struggle it, determine it�s bullshit, and shelve the whole vision improvement concept altogether.
And most of it isn�t even well packaged, like some of these guys:

Sunning? Palming? The Sway?
Aggressively going after anyone that disagrees using them too, some of them. I�ve run into several smear campaigns from (a number of) the cats at http://www.iblindness.org, a cultish outfit which doesn�t claim vision impairment as culprit for that state of the website design.
I tried Bates early on within my eyesight improvement discovery. It would probably do great to execute a detailed method breakdown, and why what doesn�t work - for the moment, suffice it to say that anything with �Bates method� inside it may as well be ignored.
The reason?
Bates method doesn�t address the myopia symptom. With additional time we could get into the finer points like yes, it will. But only for suprisingly low myopia, and simply with some blind (heh) luck. In Bates days, people didn�t wear -7 diopter prescriptions. And it is possible to fix a -1 diopter myopia case with simply about anything, that isn�t looking at a screen for 10 hours.
So, yes. If you prefer steampunk and icepicks (and heroin child cough syrup), and you have suprisingly low myopia, Bates method may help. Otherwise, should you just want to enhance your eyesight, thumbs recorded on the Bates.

In other more inspiring and non facepalm-exercise-ebook news, science lets us know interesting stories (in type of actual studies by actual non-chakra-weaving-scientists):
quotesIt has become generally accepted that the excellence of the retinal image can influence axial eye growth. A number of different experimental paradigms, applied to a range of different species have illustrated that altering retinal picture quality can cause consistent and predictable alterations in eye growth.
Suppose. The quality of the retinal image, influencing axial growth.
If you are one of many greatly fortunate participants inside the program, you almost certainly already heard a thing or three relating to this. The extra cool thing here's, note how it�s not about axial elongation (the bad stuff), but growth. Change the grade of the retinal image, experience axial reduction, decrease your prescription dependency. If it wasn�t so science, I�d must think of it as magical.
Cheers!
