Summary: Huxley was not conned, the bates method saved his sight
Review: A number of years ago, when I had a restricted license (requiring glasses); I read Mr. Huxleys book on the recommendation of a friend. After about a year of doing several of the exercises I was able to pass the motor vehicle eye exam and throw my glasses away. I lent the book to someone who needed it and it disappeared, now I am looking for another copy. As my eyes change with age I need to review it again.

Summary: good presentation
Review: The author had a lot of knowledge that he could bring into his understanding of all this. He's got a good understanding of what the Bates Method is about (even most interested people totally miss it), and he's a good writer and a smart guy, so I'd have to say that I like this book and recommend it.

From what I understand, Huxley didn't end up improving to the point where he had normal vision all the time. His failing to read a paper one time at a speaking is what's referenced a lot by the critics as "proof" he didn't benefit. Give me a break. If you consider the serious visual problems that this guy started with, and how much he improved his condition from there, it's quite a success story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Anyone losing eyesight should read this book.
Review: This account of Huxley's personal experience with the Bates method is enjoyable, and useful. Unlike a hoax, the method doesn't require any leap of faith or that you wear a pyramid on your head. You have to work, reflect and learn. This is perhaps why the method isn't successful with everyone. It is far easier to pay for a pair of glasses. My advice: If you get your hands on this book, read it.
