i want to try to do the bates method, but i have school and i need my glasses to see the board……do you have to stop wearing glasses when you try the bates method or can you still wear your glasses?
Yeah, you will need to stop wearing them.
I suggest you don’t start the method yet until you leave school or have a big holiday or wear them as little as possible. I have started to do the method and I sometimes get flashes of good vision whilst I’m doing it

if you normally wear glasses or contacts, do you have to stop wearing them to do the bates method?
What are some eye exercises I could do to improve eyesight?
I am short-sighted and just starting to become long-sighted as well. I was wondering, are there any simple eye exercises I could do to improve my eyesight?
thanks!
Eyesight is a very confounded field. Most eyedoctors will tell you that "eye exercises" don’t work. They are partially correct but deceptive. Eye exercises(eye pushups, eye drills) in general don’t work because they are based on the premise that eyes are weak and need to be excercised. This is very incorrect because people with blurry vision exert many times more effort than people with natural perfect eyesight. They are using their eyes incorrectly. Also, eye professionals have a reputation and an income to protect.
Ed is a little too easy going for me. Of all the information out there about improving eyesight naturally, only 5% is correct and effective, the rest is a scam by people who don’t have a clue what they are talking about, except in the area of marketing.
For most people to effectively improve their eyesight naturally, they must avoid most things that talk about "eye exercises". Most processes that talk about eye exercizes on the internet are scams or tend to lead people in the wrong direction. Another important factor in relearning to see is having the support of a local teacher or a teacher over the internet.
Returning to natural perfect eyesight requires that we unlearn the blurry vision habits of staring, diffusion, and straining. It concurrently requires that we reintegrate the clear vision behaviors of movements through and connections to with dynamic relaxation and continuity.
