[3urkej4mes]

this guy is ignorant or trying to protect his bottom line. Either way he's full of shit!

My vision is getting worst and i'am only 13. Bcause i'am at the computer screen all day. What can i do? I dont want to wear glasses for the rest of my life D:

[BlueGama600]

@InsomniaD3 What can you do? First of all get off the freakin' computer. Your not full grown yet so your eyesight will get better as you get older if you let your eyes rest. Also, make sure you have a lot of vitamin C in your diet.

And last but not least, exercise your eyes.

In bates method you dont push against your eyes, you (in palming) relax the eye, and in many other practices that William bates teaches along with palm your learn how to gain focuss again. You do not push against your eye. the bates method does work but is not a quick fix. It takes alot of research on your time to understand the concepts, miindful thought and practice

For the last 100 years, the second-opinon has been "objection" to the status-quo of the minus lens. The alternative is to confirm your own Snellen at 20/40 (say) and use a "plus" for prevention (clearing your Snellen back to normal).

[otissumnerbrown]

The "too long" theory has an embedded asumption. It is attractive, but it is a failure. Further Dr. Bates advocated PREVENTION. As an Engineer, I advocate prevention, also -- as do ophthalmologists and optometrists (call them second-opinion). The issue of successful plus-PREVENTION remains open.

my eyes are all messed up.

i cant tell the difference between green and blue (you know, like the RGB cables, for an example, get me screwed up for my HDTV when plugging things in. its hard for me because that Green and Blue look the same to me).

another problem i have is light. my right eye doesn't allow (and i dont know why) a lot of light in, so its darker than the other. however... my left eye, which takes in more light, the vision is blurry.

talk about some messed up vision.

[ryok2]

Where was the "how to" part?

[sandracool13]

B-U-L-L C-R-A-P (once it's destroyed ...there's no getting it to what it was be4)

[swahili77]

This video is incorrect about Bates Method, You are NOT to press on the eyes. It is a question of relaxing, not mechanical disformation.

From Bates book: "This is done by covering the closed lids with the palms of the hands (the fingers being crossed upon the forehead) in such a way as to avoid pressure on the eyeballs. .....from it most people are able to get a considerable degree of relaxation."

Eyesight CAN be improved without glasses, by exercise and relaxation!

@swahili77 I am 17 and am losing my eyesight a bit because I'm on the computer all day can eye exercises really restore my eyesight back to normal?

[swahili77]

@JesusRuelas92

Looking at thjngs that are close to us like books or computer screens are activities that put strain on the eyes. It is important to allow your eyes to relax by: blinking, looking at distant objects often, let your eyes move around without staring. I work a lot at computers and it's hard to remmember to take breaks. There is a good free program called Workrave that can help you with that (which also has some eye exercise suggestions (as well as things for neck and shoulders))

[JesusRuelas92]

@swahili77 Ty for the fast reply and I will be looking into that.

[swahili77]

After answering I checked out some other videos: "happyHag" has a small series of videos about Bates method.

I'm trying an apparatus called EyePort developed by Dr Liberman you can find videos about that too. In a book he's written he mentions "plus lenses" as a way to diminish the strain of close work. I'm thinking of getting some for my 15 yr old counterstiker!

[tostrong4you]

This is dumb, and ridiculous. 

[SuperCriticguy]

obviously this is fake he can't even see look he talking to the wall!

[Haunebuguy]

This isn't true restoration of the eyes it destroys the eyes.

[ninjatomaster]

@Haunebuguy hey, if you think some people are tired of glasses, just wait for death.

[Luicarry]

Hmmmm...

I never gonna do laser surgery because I have limited resouses ,AND I know diferent way to improve vision...

[MsRunescapePsychic]

booooring

[1q3er5]

[nokia26300]

my vision is 175/175 can i become 20/20

[1coo1]

thanks for all your vids...great info.

[otissumnerbrown]

Jim,

I is safe to say that, no only nothing can be done to get ouf of nearsightendess -- but it is impossible to even clear your Snellen from 20/60 to 20/20 -- by any scientific method?

I know this is a "hot" subject in optometry and strong opinions exist on prevention.

Otis

[otissumnerbrown]

Dear Jim,

You have expressed your majority-opinion well. Let us ask the question -- is it possible to avoid entry into myopia by use of a preventive plus?

Thanks in advance,

Otis
