In this accessible presentation of the famous Bates method, Thomas R. Quackenbush (who teaches the Bates method in California and Oregon) describes how eyesight can improve naturally, at any age and regardless of heredity. This book is a wonderful tribute to the genius of Dr. Bates, who was a pioneer in discovering how vision becomes blurred and how it restores itself naturally to clarity and acuity. Now 80 years later, his findings and teachings remain light years ahead of our contemporaries. His approach to treating vision problems was truly holistic and the theme throughout this book is very much an extension of that holistic approach. Dr. Quackenbush is to be commended for his dedication in getting the truth out and keeping the torch burning in this "bible" on vision improvement.

    (Note to customer service; thank you for keeping this review live. It is a honest review of the book and The Bates Method. A few times competing authors have tried to get to remove the review. management has

  • Pat ov

    Let me start out by saying that if you are looking for a quick fix, this is not the book for you. If you are however skeptical that something as crucial for survival as eyesight could be severely damaged in billions of people with no natural way for the body to heal itself,

  • GaoXinNi

    I read this book last year and then after reading that seeing a natural vision teacher was ideal (I am not sure if I read that online or in the book) I decided to give it a shot. The first session was an hour and 30 minutes and cost me 90 dollars, but the book had given me

  • Dan

    I've done vision therapy with decent results so I adhere to many of the things presented in this book but I think this is a terrible text on the subject. I did write down a handful of things that I think might be useful. But in general I think that this book would be

  • Skippy the deer

    If you have physically undamaged eyes and are healthy and wear eye glasses or contact lenses and wish to get rid of glasses or contact lenses this is the book you must read. I started 14 months ago to get rid of my glasses with 4.00 dioptrie in both eyes and

  • Mswalleye

    Last visit to my eye doctor he is trying to push me into stronger lenses, yet I can see 20/20 with my old prescription? He wants me in bifocals, no.. I hate reading through lenses, I wanted contacts and he pushed bifocals ones on me, I said no, I won't wear them. I took

  • So much  VHS

    honestly I want to start out by saying it you think this book jumps right in on how to "Improve Your Eyesight" your wrong..now don't get me wrong this book is extremely knowledgeable in it goes in depth in fact a little too in depth this feels like 2 or 3

  • Kyle Tan

    Firstly, this book is all you will need to improve your eyesight, nothing else. It tells you everything relevant, the structure of the eyes, how it works, how it gets distorted by strain and so on. I'm keeping this for my children and grandchildren to read in case they

  • Trev

    My Optician stated that there were no exercises to help keep your eyes working well, in the short time I have used this book a useful improvement has resulted. If only we were taught haw to care for our eyes then there would be far less need for ever stronger glasses. Just think how much you could save with some self determination. The dietary advice is useful too to help protect one of our most valuable of senses.

    I've read a few books on NEI (Natural Eyesight Improvement).Amongst them, Take off your glasses and see by Jacob Liberman Better Eyesight without Glasses by W.H.Bates (1943 version after W.Bates' death) , The Art of Seeing by Aldous Huxley amongst them.All of these were quite good books, and I quite liked Jacob Liberman's one.However none of them are as good at explaining the process of Natural Eyesight as Relearning to See by Thomas Quackenbush.A lot of Relearning to See (RTS abbrieviation from now on ) is requoting W.H.Bates work, but RTS explains it better in modern terms than W.H.Bates himself managed. I was a bit confused by some of the terms in Bates' Better Eyesight without glasses. RTS cleared these issues up.RTS also integrates other sources of information on NEI. It's also quite a colourful book, with lot's of diagrams, something most of the other books miss out on. After all there's much to seeing than just reading alone.To summarise RTS is the best book I've read on NEI, so if you want to buy just one book then get this one. If after that you still feel like reading some try Jacob Liberman's "Take off your Glasses and See".Don't suffer glasses or contact lenses for 1 second longer than you have to, and NEVER even consider laser butchery , I mean surgery. (Just search the web for complications Associated with laser surgery ) This stuff works. Most opticians over prescribe strong lenses for visual defects that can and are cured with the visual habit's that are described in RTS and other NEI books. Your average optician will not believe this possible is (I've tried talking to a few of them) because medical school has got to them, and also they earn a large amount of their income by encouraging dependence on prescription lenses.So , can you really trust someone who makes their living selling lenses to tell you that you could live without them ? ( or at least be less dependent on them) Buy this book (and read it!) and you'll SEE what W.H.Bates, Thomas Quackenbush and others would like you to know.

    This is excellent for explaining the Bates method and the evidence behind it, which was certainly one of my reasons for reading it.But it was not easy get out of it, how to put the method into practice. That you will find in fragments throughout the book and I suspect that there are much better books to read if a practical guide is what you are looking for.

    Diffidate di chi vi parla di "esercizi per la vista". La visione chiara a rilassata è innanzitutto un'abitudine che si acquisisce, o meglio si riimpara con la pratica e pazienza.Riguardo ai Principi della Visione Questo libro non è per tutti, anzi è solo per pochi, giacche solo pochi hanno la disciplina e la perseveranza per capire ed esercitare i principi della buona visione. Tali principi sono facili da capire a livello intellettuale, difficili da mettere in pratica a livello visivo. Leggere della visione è come camminare di musica, ma è l'unico modo che abbiamo per accogliere le idee della bellissima mente di Quackenbush che a sua volta le studió dal controverso lavoro di Bates Io stesso, avendo letto il libro molteplici volte riesco a comprenderne alcune sfaccettature a distanza di mesi se non anni. Molti speculano sul fatto che il silenzio sui segreti della miopia è mantenuto dal complesso industriale ottico ma mi rendo conto che la stragrande maggioranza di persone non ha interesse nel dedicare del tempo allo studio e alla pratica della visione chiara e rilassata quando è così facile procurarsi degli occhiali. Io ho intrapreso questo viaggio perché aborrisco la miopia e uno dei miei più grandi desideri è la visione chiara.Riguardo ai Risultati Sono un discepolo piuttosto lento a capire, e ho cominciato a comprenderne i principi dopo un'anno di studio. Dopo due anni riesco a riconoscere la presenza di tensione nel collo e schiena. Sono diventato abbastanza bravo a visualizzare gli oggetti in movimento. Pratico il rilassamento oculare ogniqualvolta noto una consistente tensione. Una delle cose che mi risultano più difficili è l'immaginarsi la presenza del naso piuma con cui abbozzare gli oggetti ma sto facendo progressi. Recentemente ho imparato come ottenere il rilassamento mentale completo. Non vado piu dall'oculista ma dico con certezza che la mia visione è migliorata di molto anche se non è perfetta. Di giorno non metto più gli occhiali per le faccende di tutti i giorni.Indirizzato a chi Inizia Per il principiante consiglierei senz'altro movimento, movimento, movimento! L'immaginarsi il movimento apparente è senz'altro la cosa piu importante. Praticare attività come il salto con la corda o riscoprire la gioia infantile dell'altalena aiuta.Il Libro in una Frase A un rabbino venne chiesto di riassumere la bibbia in una frase. Lui disse: "Non fare al prossimo cio che non vorresti fosse fatto a te". Se una domanda mi fosse posta riguardo a questo libro, io affermerei: "Ricerca il rilassamento mentale".
