Better Vision Now: Improve Your Sight with the Renowned Bates Method

by Clara A. Hackett, Lawrence Galton, William Gutman M. D. (Foreword)

Thinking about laser eye surgery? Tired of glasses and contacts? Take a look at this easy-to-follow, step-by-step method for improving poor vision. Hackett's innovative self-help guide includes a basic 12-week program of simple routines and drills that are recommended for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, crossed eyes, color-blindness, glaucoma, cataracts, and other serious eye problems.
Incorporating Dr. William H. Bates' treatment of systematic exercise and training — techniques generally applied in treating and rehabilitating handicapped patients — the text suggests that relaxation, eyesight training, and skillful use of psychological factors are important elements that can possibly lead to improved eye functions.
Bates, a practicing New York City ophthalmologist, first demonstrated his method of improving defective vision in the 1920s. Since then, thousands of people have been helped by methods devised by the doctor and his pupils. A useful aid for anyone experiencing problems with their vision, this practical guide will also be of value to healthcare specialists.

This is an excellent example of judging a book by its cover. Better Vision Now is not a newly-written, modern adaptation of the Bates method; rather, it's a reprint of Ms. Hackett's book published in the 1950's. However, don't let that dissuade you from checking it out. Though the presentation is a bit dated, the information and advice itself is still relevant and useful in our day. This guide to the Bates method is particularly helpful in that it contains a week-by-week regimen of eye exercises for improving your vision twofold within a few months.

I feel like this book would be a gamechanger if people actually followed through with the excercises. I sure didn't. Lasik, baby!

Clara A. Hackett is one of the ealy people to learn the Bates Method. She was a student of Aldous Huxley who wrote a book, The Art of Seeing, after experiencing dramatic improvement in his eyesight. She introduced colors to the eye exercises.
