Blurry vision is not a life sentence, nor is it a sign that there is something fundamentally 'wrong' with your eyes.  The blur is merely a signal that indicates you are straining your eyes and that it is time to make a subtle yet significant change in how you see.

A century ago Ophthalmologist William H. Bates proved that the way we use our eyes determines how clearly we see, and by simply changing our strained vision habits into relaxed habits, it is possible to improve vision without glasses. 

The natural approach to eyesight improvement has no negative side effects (actually it has many beneficial side effects!) and it happens to be the cheapest solution.  Also, in my humble opinion, it gives the best results, (see the testimonials), it just takes a little understanding, along with some patience and persistence.

As the Bates method is relatively easy to learn and apply, it makes sense to give it a try and check it out for yourself.  The most you risk losing is your blurry vision!

Although vision improvement is often thought of as a method of eye-exercises, this is far from Dr. Bates' original teachings.  Yes, it still takes time to learn the method and some patience to allow the eye muscles to relax into seeing.  Clear vision without glasses usually does not appear by magic.  And neither does it come from forcing your eyes to move around in all directions of the clock for ten minutes every day...

If your vision is blurry, your eye muscles have probably been straining for some time and need to learn to let go of their effort.  Depending on the level of strain, this is easier for some people than for others.  If you have not yet worn glasses or contacts you are likely to improve faster than those who have, yet we all have the ability to improve our vision without glasses.

It comes down to a choice in how you use your eyes all day long.  That choice is open to everyone.  You too can start improving your vision as soon as you become aware of the difference between straining to see and relaxing to see.

The typical vision challenges that the Bates method works well for are:

- Nearsightedness (Myopia)
- Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
- Astigmatism
- Crossed Eyes (Strabismus / Exophoria / Esophoria)
- "Old Age Sight" (Presbyopia / The need for reading glasses after age 40)
- Eyestrain
- Floaters
- Red Eyes / Swollen eyes 
- Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)
- Light Sensitivity
- Low Night Vision
- Eye Teaming challenges (Fusion problems)
- Ocular Headaches and Headaches in general.

Even diseases of the eye such as Retinitis Pigmentosa, Cataracts, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Conical Cornea, Uveitis, etc, are often helped when visual relaxation improves circulation to the eyes.  

No matter how long you have worn glasses or contacts, no matter what your age is, or how bad your vision is now, applying the Bates method will take you on your personal path back to clear natural vision without glasses.  

Better than 20/20 vision is possible!  My own experience proves it.  
How long it takes you to get there depends on when you take the first step...

9 STEPS TO BLURRY VISION
The choice of Eyesight Deterioration:

1. It begins with Good Eyesight.

2. At some point you experience Visual Strain and/or Mental Stress.

3. Eye strain and tense eye muscles cause changes in the shape of the eye.

4. This results in lowered visual acuity.

5. You don't know what to do about it, so you visit an optometrist or eye doctor.

6. He or she measures the strain in your eyes, and presumes there is no way it will ever improve, so he prescribes corrective lenses or stronger lenses.

7. You are told you will have to get used to the lenses.

8. This results in more strained vision habits,
so you return to item 2 above.

9. The result of this choice is Poor Vision and a dependency on artificial lenses to see.

9 STEPS TO CLEAR VISION
The choice of Eyesight Improvement:

1. It begins with Poor Eyesight and often a dependency on artificial lenses to see

2. But there is desire for knowledge to improve vision.

3. You 'google' or research how to get better vision without glasses.

4. You learn Better Vision Habits and use your lenses less or get a reduced prescription.

5. This reduces the visual strain and/or mental stress.

6. Which allows the eye muscles to relax and the eye will gradually regain its natural shape.

7. Your eyesight improves and your old lenses are now too strong for you.

8. You continue better vision habits,
so you return to item 4 above.

9. The result of this choice is vision that gets better and better, resulting in an ability to see clearly with your own eyes again. 

So you can view it as a 9 step program of vision, 
leading to either worse or better vision.
The choice is yours...

If you are ready for better vision without glasses,

Your eyes will be grateful. Enjoy your path to clarity!

Are you still looking for a good reason 
to learn how to see better without glasses??

 

holy smiley face... You could just pray about it of course ...

God, grant me the senility
To forget the people
I never liked anyway,
The good fortune
To run into the ones I do,
And the eyesight to tell the difference.

Do you know why there are so many potholes 
in the streets of San Francisco?
... It is Braille for the blind.

Yesterday I was walking down the street wearing my eyeglasses,
and all of a sudden my prescription ran out.

He came up to my table... He took my glasses off and he said, 
'Without your glasses, why, you're beautiful.'  
I said, 'Without my glasses, you're not half bad either.'
