Does the bates method really improve sight?

Can you find proof please? And some sample eye exercises

There is no "proof" the Bates method ever worked. There are only testimonies by lay people explaining how the vision was perceived to change in their eyes or in their children’s eyes. When you try to replicate any results in experiments, the system fails. Mr Bates always avoided using a scientific explanation to justify the findings. Also, the theories of how the vision could change are not based on any knowledge of physics. We know the focus of the eyes is mainly a factor of the length of the eye and how the focus lands on the retina. The concept of "relaxing" the eyes only works on muscles and not the connective tissue that makes up the globe of the eye. When pressed, he believed his techniques may change the blood flow to the retina for whatever that is worth. If this were the case, all young people with healthy blood vessels would have wonderful vision… this is obviously not the case.

  2. Bernd Said,

    There is NO serious science showing that any eye exercises (Bates, etc.) will ever stop the need for eyeglasses or contacts.  The Bate’s subculture continues to propogate their concepts that boil down to old wive’s tales, really no proven science.  Watch your wallet.

    On the other hand there is good science behind staying fit, not being obese, exercise regularly, eating fruit and veggies to help prevent age related blindness like macular degeneration, a serious problem.  All of these lifestyle choices help keep the eye’s retina in good health.
