Book description
With the strains on the eyes in modern life, the use of computers
in particular, the Bates method is more relevant than ever and
Jonathan Barnes has re-interpreted this classic self-help technique to
bring it to a new generation that need its help.
Developed by Dr William Bates in 1919, the Bates method is a
series of exercises and everyday techniques to incorporate into your
life that corrects all the common eye problems: short-sight,
long-sight, astigmatism and the decline of vision due to age. It can
correct anyone's vision techniques, teaching relaxation and
visualisation exercises that ease the strain on the eyes and allows
the eyes to perform at their best. There is no need for surgery or
drugs. There is no need for any specialist knowledge, it is all laid
out simply and clearly in this practical and accessible book, the only
equipment needed are the eye charts that are included in the book.
Just a half hour per day and your sight could significantly improve to
the extent that glasses and contact lenses may no longer be needed.
Jonathan Barnes is a graduate in biological sciences from the
University of Sussex. He decided to write this book because he found
previous accounts of the Bates method difficult to follow or unrealistic
in the context of daily life.
