perfect vision without glasses

Good to know Mr. Chandra that you are familiar with Dr. Bates methods but I am not convinced at all that any one can disapprove his methods which have been so successfully tested on so many, just because of their obscurity. They are obscure because their popularity is against the commercial interest of the multi-million optical industry. You read the last chapter of his book and you will yourself find out why he was kicked out of the hospital he was serving in because he was a threat to the commercial interest of the hospital and he was not allowed even the privilege of resignation. more  

Thanks a lot Mr Chandra. I shall definitely consult him Regards Vinod Gulati more

I had previously requested for info regarding any Surgeon willing to carry out cataract surgery in India on a chair rather than a OT bed. One eye,I had to undergo cataract surgery at Shroff under GA as I am mortally scared and claustrophobic about surgery lying flat on an OT bed. Will really be grateful for a reply.

The Bates method is an alternative therapy aimed at improving eyesight. Eye-care physician William Horatio Bates, M.D., (1860–1931) attributed nearly all sight problems to habitual strain of the eyes, and felt that glasses were harmful and never necessary. Bates self-published a book as well as a magazine (and earlier collaborated with Bernarr MacFadden on a correspondence course) detailing his approach to helping people relax such "strain", and thus, he claimed, improve their sight. His techniques centered on visualization and movement. He placed particular emphasis on imagining black letters and marks, and the movement of such. He also felt that exposing the eyes to sunlight would help alleviate the "strain". General criticisms[edit] Dead-end[edit] A frequent criticism of the Bates method is that it has remained relatively obscure, which is seen as proof that it is not truly effective. Writer Alan M. MacRobert concluded in a 1979 article that the "most telling argument against the Bates system" and other alternative therapies was that they "bore no fruit". In regards to the Bates method, he reasoned that "If palming, shifting, and swinging could really cure poor eyesight, glasses would be as obsolete by now as horse-drawn carriages."[46] Corrective lenses and safety[edit] Discarding one's corrective lenses, as Bates recommended, or wearing lenses weaker than one's prescribed correction, as some Bates method advocates suggest, poses a potential safety hazard in certain situations, especially when one is operating a motor vehicle.[7] James Randi related that his father, shortly after discarding glasses on the advice of Bates' book, wrecked his car.[47] Bates method teachers often caution that when driving, one should wear the correction legally required.[7] Avoidance of conventional treatment[edit] One of the greatest potential dangers of faith in the Bates method is that a believer may be disinclined to seek medical advice regarding what could be a sight-threatening condition requiring prompt treatment, such as glaucoma.[5] Also, children with vision problems may require early attention by a professional in order to successfully prevent lazy eye. Such treatment may include exercises, but which are different from those associated with the Bates method, and parents who subscribe to Bates' ideas may delay seeking conventional care until it is too late.[7] It may further be necessary for a child at risk of developing lazy eye to wear the proper correction more
