Summary: Decent Book...
Review: I bought this book thinking it would help me get rid of my glasses. Well, I don't want to make it sound like I'm really slamming this book, it really was a great book. Dr. Bates really was a revolutionary opthamolagist, however this book didn't go about explaining how to go about doing some of these "exercises", or not as much as I'd have liked it to. This book, however did explain the eyes and why the eyes go bad, and it all makes sense if you keep an open mind about it. If you really feel like curing your eye problems, you may want to look elsewhere, though this book is a good starting point. All in all, this book was a good weekend reader, and it did make some good points, but if you bought another book on the Bates Method, you might be more pleased.

Summary: This method really works!!!
Review: I read this book in 1973. At the time I was 29 yrs. old and was quite near sighted. I even had to wear glasses to drive. After doing the simple exercizes in the book, my sight improved dramatically!! I no longer wear glasses for any reason. People who I told this method to wouldn't try it because they didn't believe it could be that easy, how stupid. Try it, you have nothing to lose but your glasses or contacts!

Summary: It really works
Review: I read this book while I was still at school and hated wearing glasses (+1.25L, +1.75R). Following the method, I have enjoyed a completely normal vision. I have kept away from glasses for about 11 years now!!Some of my friends have shown even better results (coz they had heavier lenses to start with). Much more than just a good book.

Summary: What your eye doctor doesn't want you to know ?
Review: I've used this method to pass a police eye exam before and it works. If your doctor said you had to wear a crutch forever because of a strain due to excessive and improper use of a muscle , you'd call him a quack. But most of us pay big bucks to get good vision and it's nothing more(in most cases) than a case of eye strain caused by poor vision habits. Your eye doctor won't tell you to use this book, because he gets paid twice over to get you to wear glasses(or something even more expensive). My biggest problem with nearsightedness came from always looking at near objects such as the ground and never allowing the muscles in my eyes to stretch and see things like the horizon or clouds overhead. And when I finally did chose to stretch these muscles it was like trying to get into a crossed leg yoga position. The lenses in your eye are controlled by muscles and they need to be stretched and tightened.Buy this book for everyone you know and love and tell your eye doctor either to get another sucker or find a new job.

Summary: My experiences of the method
Review: This method works but it needs a lot of commitment. If you are able to throw away your lenses and keep to a program which requires an hour out of every day then go for it. However, if you need to wear your specs every day just to function - for driving, computer work etc - then you needn't waste your cash. This won't work for you. I once had a period in my life during which I didn't need to have my glasses on and I was able to practise every day. I gained such an improvement in my prescription that - when I returned to the eye-doctor - I was for the first time qualified to drive without glasses, and, though my eyesight is still not perfect, I have never worn spectacles since. Expect immediate effects, which might seem quite dramatic. After that progress is slower. The four stars I gave this book is because it is the original. There are, however, better expositions of the method on the market.

Summary: Very valuable techniques, worked for a lot of people I know
Review: Very valuable techniques have been described in this book. The key is relaxation. I know lots of people have been directly benefitted from these techniques. Also when these are combined with herbal, natural methods & exercises as has been found and propounded by Dr. M.S. Agarwal, they are much more effective and beneficial.
