Introduction
Good vision and eye
Strained vision undermines 90% of its nerve power in the eye. When, through relaxation, this nerve force recovers to normal level, the calmness of a long-forgotten, and maybe never felt power returns.
This fact has been amply demonstrated by my husband, who has experienced the devastating effects of eye strain. He and I traveled all over the United States in search of a specialist who could help his failing eyesight and relieve his constant pain. The strength of the lenses in the glasses grew, the visual acuity simultaneously fell, and the attacks of constant headaches became more and more violent. No diagnosis was made to him, but in one thing all the doctors were unanimous - that he would go blind. My husband also talked about it - openly, firmly and confidently. Nothing so oppresses a person, and does not test his will to live, as the gradual approach of blindness. So 15 years have passed. As the pain intensified and vision deteriorated both near and far, in the face of my husband's impending blindness, we decided to move to Los Angeles, believing that the beauty of this place would at least soften the approach of the tragedy.
Quite by accident, we stumbled upon Dr. Bates's book "Perfect Vision Without Glasses" in the library. I started reading it aloud to my husband. He was amazed. “That sounds convincing,” he said. - I'll try".
Being quite orthodox in both thought and action, I was annoyed: “Do you think that by doing any of this, you can throw away your glasses that we have carried so far just to do this? After all, we were told that they would at least a little, but delay blindness.
However, my husband studied the book carefully and tried some of the more basic things it says: solarization, palming, and rocking. “Dr. Bates is right,” said my husband. “Relaxing can’t hurt, and I will!”
“Then I will help you,” I decided.
We studied together, following every instruction in the book, every recommendation. After 2 weeks, the pain in the eyes and headaches disappeared. Along with the improvement in the condition of his nervous system, his work also improved. digestive tract and intestines. returned to him again normal sleep. Every month my eyesight got better and better, and the need for glasses became less and less. With improved vision, he was able to get a driver's license. Subsequently, he never wore glasses again. In one year, he achieved normal vision for both near and far points. We are indebted to Dr. Bates and his book, Perfect Vision Without Glasses, not only for the relief of pain and discouragement, but for those years of enjoying normal vision and normal health that my husband got.
After his death, I have only one interest left in my life - to continue this noble work, which has done so much for us. I went to New York to see Dr. Bates to learn his method. Back in Los Angeles, I opened my own Eye Training School, where many absolutely different people With poor eyesight- workers, students, military and many others.
In response to requests for help from across the US and many more foreign countries many letters were sent. My students have dispersed both in our country and in other countries, including Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, England and Holland. Many requests were also received from other countries, especially from Italy, Greece and Spanish-speaking countries.
The purpose of this book is to give an idea of some of the ways in which you can relieve eye strain. Reading a book will not take you much time - you can quickly read it on the subway, in your free time, etc. Those few minutes of relaxation that these methods will give you will help you endure several hours of hard work.
If the above exercises are applied constantly, then this relaxation can become continuous. Anyone who wants to get to know large quantity exercise and go over full course treatments, all of which can be found in my previously published book Help Yourself to Better Sight.
Most people suffer from some kind of visual impairment, but do not know how to get rid of them, because they do not know that they (if the eye is organically healthy) are based on tension. There are several types of tension: physical, associated with muscles; mental associated with nervous system, and emotional, associated with a violation of physical rhythms. All these types of tension affect the eyes, which are a kind of barometer of a person's condition - both good and bad. You can learn to relax and release these tensions.
When healthy eye relaxed, it will function properly. Like a camera, it will flatten, shortening its axis when viewing distant objects, and lengthen its axis when viewing close objects. Only tension prevents the eyeball from undergoing such changes in its shape. Instead of the muscles of the eye, glasses begin to do this work, as a result of which eye muscles cease to perform their functions and begin to gradually weaken.
Spencer says: “Each gift acquires the ability to function through the performance of its function. If this function is performed for him by another agent, then no adjustments from nature will occur. Rather, nature will go to the violation of its nature in order to adapt to artificial measures taken instead of natural ones. This speaks of importance relaxing the eyes and allowing them to independently perform their functions. If you want to help your eyes, then you have to do a series of simple exercises to relax the eyes. They cannot do any harm and have already brought help to many people. You just need to persuade yourself to do a few of these exercises daily, for a short time, but more often. “A little and often” is the rule for forming the right, good habit. Someday this habit will finally form, and you will always use your eyes correctly. Determine which exercises are most effective for you and do them regularly, conscientiously and thoroughly. You will be surprised by the changes that have occurred with your eyes, thinking, mood and the whole body under the influence of relaxation exercises. Relaxation is the secret to the normalization of many functions. Engage in relaxation and remember the sensations produced by it. Make it a way of life, a habit both at work and during leisure. Learn to use your eyes in a relaxed manner and you will avoid any trouble with your eyesight in the future.

Learn to use your eyes in a relaxed manner and you will avoid any trouble with your eyesight in the future.
CHAPTER 1. Basic Principles of Relaxation for All
Before you attempt to normalize your vision, you must master the four relaxation exercises: solarization, palming, rocking, and mental imaging. Do them carefully 2-3 times a day for one week before you start the vision exercises. Take off your glasses during all activities.
SOLARIZATION
The sun is both food and drink for the eyes. The Bible says, “Sweet is the light, and it is pleasing to the eyes to see the sun” (Ecc. 11:7).
Recently, at an international ophthalmological convention in New York, German doctor G. Meyer-Schwickerath from Bonn reported that patients with serious eye diseases were helped by watching open eyes in the sun during its sunset. After this improvement was noted, this physician attempted to reproduce similar treatment and in the conditions of his office, using an artificial "sun". For years, the Bates method has advocated the use of sunlight to strengthen any eye, whether healthy or diseased. The practical implementation of his theory gave remarkable results. Eyes that are overly sensitive to sunlight are like greenhouse plants. They are not exposed to either the sun or the air, especially if a person wears dark glasses. Such eyes should be gradually accustomed to bright light. When the eyes recoil in horror from unexpected and bright, unaccustomed sunlight, then the cause of pain in such cases will not be the brightness of the light itself, but something similar to the shock that a person experiences with a sudden change in the strength of the light. In this situation, it is necessary to calm and relax the eyes in the light.
Almost the entire information flow is perceived by us visually: television, computer technology, the Internet. Therefore, today the youth of today often understands the question of how to have good eyesight. To achieve this result, people resort to various means and methods, both of a medical nature and to non-traditional methods, including the theory of the famous scientist William Bates.
How to get good eyesight?
The most important thing to realize and accept is that even if you excellent vision, the eyes must work correctly. You should follow a few rules and your eyes will be grateful to you for a long time:
in order to gain good vision, take care of optimal and comfortable lighting, the eyes love it and there will be no unnecessary stress long time;
during hard work, the eyes must periodically relax, since overstrain overloads the lens and focus is disturbed. This is done simply: close your eyes with your palms, isolating them from light for a few minutes;
to prevent vision problems, periodically read the text typed in small print - the work of the lens and muscle tension for reading stimulates blood circulation and elasticity. But such an activity should not exceed 20-25 minutes a day;
interesting training for the eyes "flipped reading". A very useful thing, I must say, to preserve vision. At first it is difficult to read, but over time, you will get a taste, you will like it and your eyes will like it;
to get good eyesight, go to fresh air, use different breathing techniques. Ophthalmologists say that the cause of eye fatigue and visual impairment is oxygen starvation.
eye wash. Attention! Eye drops aside, because no matter who they are, in any case, addiction and adaptation occur, which means that the effect of the drops will weaken over time. Rinse eyes in order to prevent good vision with plain water;
eye massage will help restore good vision,;
add foods to your diet rich in vitamin A and keratin: vegetables, fruits, honey, eggs, fish and seafood;
to save your eyesight, forget about smoking and alcohol. This moment is clear to everyone!
try to wear sunglasses as needed, but not for a long time. Our eyes are designed to be easy to carry sunlight. It is better to use them in lighting conditions.
How to restore good vision according to the Bates method?
The proposed vision restoration technique by William Bates is based on the fact that the main cause of any vision problems is stress. internal muscles, and the way to recovery is the systematic implementation of practical exercises. The most effective is palming. Its principle is simple: you should relax the muscles of the eyes and face enough to achieve a completely black background.
This is what leads the eyes to complete relaxation, and therefore to the restoration of good vision. There is also a well-known technique of the author “solarization” and a number of others that train the lens and muscles. But modern ophthalmologists do not recognize such a concept of gaining good vision, despite the popularity of this method throughout the world.
Seek medical attention or use non-traditional methods restoration of vision, of course, you decide. But really take advantage actionable advice reputable optometrists should be followed by anyone interested in the health of their eyes.
And finally, advice to those who wear glasses. Take off your glasses periodically and do your usual work without them. Train your eyes, rebuild your consciousness that glasses are an obstacle in order to gain good vision. Believe your eyes!
Famous american doctor ophthalmologist William Bates is the inventor of a method to improve vision without the use of any drugs or devices (glasses, lenses).
How to get good eyesight according to Bates
Even today, some of his research and theoretical developments are not recognized. scientific world, but despite this, even after a hundred years from the date of the publication of his book "How to get good vision without glasses", his methods are popular.
The main thing in Bates's theory is the information that the eye produces accommodation, in other words, vision adapts to viewing objects from a close or long distance, by means of tension of the muscles of the surrounding eyes. In traditional ophthalmology, a different point of view is used, according to which the curvature of the lens changes during vision, as well as the length eyeball. Bates did not agree with this point of view and was sure that stress and processes are the causes of visual impairment. psychological stress. And depending on the type of voltage, the subject is subject to various kinds disorders (astigmatism, myopia, hyperopia).
One of the most famous and effective exercises is palming. For this exercise, you will need to sit comfortably and relax your neck, then you need to rub, thereby warming up your palms. Next, place your palms over your eyes so that the bases of the little fingers are on your nose, the rest of the fingers are on your forehead, and central part palms in front of your eyes. For your convenience, we recommend that you put a pillow under your elbows or lie down and put it on your chest, you should be completely relaxed. Light should not penetrate through the palms, for this close your eyes. If you do this exercise, you will notice that your eyes are rested.
Most of the rest of the exercises are carried out in the process of palming and deal with working with consciousness. When you close your eyes with your hands, you will notice flickering dots or shapes and colors, these are yours. optic nerves are still working, try to relax by imagining something nice, from time to time you will only see a black background. Try to relax as much as possible and get, as far as possible, a black background, remember something good, if it doesn't work, just imagine black objects. Bates also suggested a method: first remember a few colors, and then think about a white piece of chalk, it will appear on a black background.
