Perfect Vision: The Original Bates Method Classic Revised into Plain English

by L Ac Michael Arnold MD

Overview

The 1920 publication of “Perfect Eyesight Without Glasses” by William H. Bates, MD launched the famous Bates Method. This method has since become the most widespread and respected approach to eyesight improvement in the West. Due to its ornate style and technical language, the original has been inaccessible to all but the most determined reader. Now, for the first time, this precious knowledge is available in plain English for all to read.

All of the text has been edited for clarity. All but the most basic medical terms have been simplified. There is an extensive glossary included. In addition, the editor has removed the original photographs and added more than 20 new illustrations which make the meaning crystal clear.

More than just an instruction manual for performing eye exercises, “Perfect Vision” goes to the very heart of the Bates approach. This book is a must for anyone committed to a deep understanding of the Bates Method.
