"Bates method view of cataracts is great!!  I am giving a printed copy to my mom.
I got mom to try some Bates Method activities and her cataracts started to reverse, (also another man, my old school teacher) and so far surgery for both of them is postponed.  If mom would stop the drugs and discontinue eyeglasses I bet her cataracts would be cured.  
Thanks again."

What others are saying about this collection:

"Wow Esther, what a fantastic document!  What a source of knowledge, and so easy to use!  I'm very impressed!  
Esther, this is golden!  I'll treasure this.  It is more valuable than the original magazines because I can so easily find what I'm looking for in this.  This is a perfect source for teachers, better than any book.  People who are interested in the Bates Method, professionally or personally, can gain so much from this collection!"
Saskia Naber, Natural Vision Educator, Groningen, The Netherlands

"Isn't one of the joys of computers the ability to look up things so easily?!  Now, through Esther's 7 months worth of painstaking efforts, we can have access to the complete Better Eyesight magazines of William Bates, on the computer! She has taken each monthly magazine, for all 11 years, and created an easy to read, easy to access, unedited full and complete document. All you need is Adobe Acrobat Reader (free!) to read the PDF file (most computers have that program). For example, imagine being able to search on "amblyopia" and see at a glance all of the references to it (in less than 2 seconds it shows me 62 references, with the first one showing, and a sidebar with the others in a clickable shorthand). Fabulous!   Thanks Esther for all your hard work!"
Kate Keilman, Natural Vision Educator, Oahu, Hawaii

Dr. W.H. Bates of New York City, many years ago conceived an original idea.  Why not cure the abnormal condition of the eye?  Why not treat it as the medical profession treats an abnormal condition of any other part of the body? 
To find the cause and then to devise some means of relief involved research work which led him into fields never explored before. What he discovered will be explained.  The system he originated will be described.  By following his directions it is possible to correct the faltering function of the eye, and recover normal vision.

W.B. MacCracken M.D., in "Use Your Own Eyes"
